Uncertain DSC in TS !

Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : Uncertainty is looming large over the issuing of DSC (District Selection Committee) notification for the recruitment of teaching posts in Telangana State as the government officials do not even have the information regarding the vacant posts in various districts. The Andhra Pradesh government has already released DSC notification recently.

The Telangana government does not even have any plan to release the notification in near future. Earlier, the State government announced to rationalize schools and staff instead of appointing new teaching staff through DSC. However, the government went back on the proposal after an adverse reaction from the Teachers fraternity and aspirant students from across the state. The government’s version about appointments at government run schools was that most of the schools were running without students and there was no need of further recruitment.

When the dust settled after much hue and cry over the proposed rationalization of government schools and teachers, which could have resulted in the closure of several hundred schools, the government has not given any instructions to appoint the teaching staff yet. Telangana School Education department Joint Director P V Srihari said that they have not received any instruction from the concerned ministry and no preparations were being underway for the release of DSC notification in the state. He said, “We don’t even have the information that how many seats are vacant in the state run schools.” 

Previously DSC notification was used to be issued in the year 2012 and after that because of various reasons the practice was not being followed. Thousands of Teacher’s Eligibility Test (TET) qualified candidates have been waiting for the recruitment notification in the State. On the other hand teachers’ unions re crying foul over the delay in the release of recruitment notification. These unions have also proposed an amicable solution to the state government’s proposal of rationalization.

Telangana State United Teachers’ Federation state president A Narsi Reddy said that around 1,500 seats are vacant in the government run schools across the state. He said, “We have suggested the state government to set up ‘Model Primary Schools’ in the rural areas covering several villages besides implementing rationalization in such a way that spare teachers could be shifted to these centres and new teachers could be recruited through DSC.”
