Bengaluru: About 4,000 Hindi teachers appointed in elementary school in all countries teaching other subjects they do not recruit.
The reason: Hindi is not taught as a subject in state government schools of grade 1 to 5.
Confirming the suffering of Hindi teachers elementary school, the Hindi School teacher association of the Hindi School Government Karnataka said many of them had been languishing for 15-20 years.
where they appoint, where they also tend to retire.
In a letter to the Minister of Premier and Middle Education BC Nagesh, the association has now demanded that elementary school teachers be allowed to find posts as Kannada’s general teacher everywhere available during the transfer season.
The association’s office carriers told their TOI initially recruited as a teacher assistant for what was later elementary and secondary school and teaching Hindi in grade 6 and 7.
But we are now in an ironic situation.
Because of the changes in the rules of cadres and recruitment in 2007, we are considered as Hindi teachers in elementary school.
But Hindi was not taught as a subject in class 1 to 5 in Karnataka, “The Association has said in his letter.
Because of this, students have lost the opportunity to learn Hindi under the three-language formulas adopted by the state government even though there are 4,000 Hindi teachers at Hindi schools, the letter was read.
The association has shown that the teachers cannot transfer because there are no vacancies in the state because such posts do not exist.
“We have taught other subjects because we have finished PU, DED (Diploma In teaching) and TCH (teacher certificates are higher).
But we don’t have a transfer in the last 15-20 years.
Some of us retire in the same place where we were recruited, “said Rama Murthy K, Secretary General of the Association.
These teachers have also cleared the state-level language exam for Hindi which makes them qualify for teaching subjects.” Should we be at school Lower basis (grade 1 to 5) or higher elementary schools (grade 6 and 7)? The government is unclear.
In lower elementary school, there is no subject.
In higher elementary school, they only recruit only the main teacher of graduate.
The question is where we work? “Regret a teacher.” We are currently teaching other subjects such as environmental science in the lower class.
Given the sad situation, our direct concern is transferring, “said Rama Murthy.
According to the association, they have raised this problem with the department over the past few years, but it didn’t work.” While we were assigned to teach Hindi, we did not get the chance to do so.
At least changes to posts to other subjects will give us a chance with the transfer.
In addition, the state must see introducing Hindi as a subject on the three-language policy lines of national education policy, “said a teacher.
