Appointment of teachers questioned by ACUEYO
SILCHAR, Oct 7: The All Cachar Unemployed Educated Youth Organization (ACUEYO) has questioned the appointment of teachers in the senior and basic schools of Cachar. It has been alleged that the appointment had been made by violating the standing norms and rules of the State Government as enshrined by the 81st Constitutional amendment Act, 2000, which says reservation of posts for appointment must not exceed 50 per cent of the total vacancies, created or caused.
Subsequently, the Asom Government issued instructions contained in the office memo number TAW / BC / 142 / 96 / 54 dated Dispur, August 28, 2001, directing all the appointing authorities to follow the amended rules in case of reservation. But, the organization alleged that the Director of Elementary Education of Assam, defying the said instructions, came out with an advertisement for appointment of teachers in the senior and basic schools in a vide letter no. EAA.60/2005/15 dated 15/12/2005 reserving 64 per cent in different categories in violation of the aforesaid instructions. It is relevant to say that a case has been lying pending in the Gauhati High Court vide WP (C) no. 5556/2008 and the Court has stopped appointment in a particular school of Cachar district by an interim order. The order of the High Court along with the writ petition was submitted to the Director of Elementary Education of Asom in December, 2008. But, the advertisement was not cancelled despite orders.
The DEE issued appointment letters to different candidates, further alleged the organization, and filled up almost all the vacancies in various schools of the different districts, save and except in the particular school of Cachar where the appointment has been stayed. It is also significant that appointment letters were reportedly not issued by a single order but in piecemeal under different numbers and different dates, raising many questions. Considering the violation of standing norms in the appointment of teachers, the ACUEYO has demanded the higher authorities concerned not to release the monthly salary of teachers so far appointed during the current year and to take appropriate action against all those involved in the whole process of appointment. The organization has addressed its memorandum on the issue to the Asom Governor, Education Minister, Chief Secretary to the Government of Asom, Principal Secretary to the Government of Asom and the Commissioner and Secretary to the Chief Minister of Asom.
