Rehbar-e-Taleem-A
conspiracy
Sir,
Government of
Jammu and Kashmir State had and has been in the
process of recruiting teachers in education
department under Rehbar-e-Taleem Scheme in so
called far flung areas of the state. One has the
right to ask the Government about the
qualification of these teachers. They are mere
12th class pass and in many cases just secondary
school (10th) pass.
When the Service
Selection Recruitment Board of J&K got the
criteria for the selection of teacher published
in many dailies, especially in Daily Excelsior,
the Ministers, majority of MLAs and MLCs,
especially those of ruling party got perturbed,
stunned and over annoyed because their kith and
kin and their voters did not fall in the
published criteria. So they became active.
Ultimately they influenced the Chief Minister Dr
Farooq Abdullah and told him that most of the
schools in the far flung areas were
non-functional due to non-availability of
teachers. They further informed him that teachers
do not attend their duties in these areas. Dr
Farooq Abdullah fell in their web because these
vested interests succeeded in making Dr Abdullah
understand that there was a dire need of
recruiting teachers under some scheme, so they
introduced this scheme.
Every citizen has
a right to ask these contractors of nation and
society and MLAs and MLCs that how many times did
they tour the far flung areas of thier
constituencies since 1996 when they were elected?
Why were they accusing teachers of
non-discharging of duties? How long have the
wives and kith and kin of ministers MLAs, MLCs,
officers, VIPs and VVIPs discharged their duties
in these remote areas before or after the
commencement of militancy in the trouble torn
state? Is it the duty of only few teachers of
poor and down trodden families to discharge their
duties in far flung areas? Instead these
representatives of people should have pressurised
the Chief Education Officers (CEOs) of all
districts to enforce transfer policy strictly and
make it transparent and justified. The teachers
are doing every tough job under the prevailing
circumstances.
It is a very deep
rooted conspiracy being hatched by the party
representatives for their short term interests
and benefits. They are bent to absorb their kith
and kin in the Government jobs because they will
get regularised after a period of five years on
the recommendations of the so-called Education
level Committees. But they are so selfish that
they could not see its long term ill-effects and
its impact on the coming generations or they do
not want to think over it.
While in all
states of India, B.Ed. is a compulsory
qualification for the recruitment of teachers,
the J&K Government is recruiting 10+2 in this
line and making the department defunct and lame.
The most painful and terrifying aspect is that
this all is being done by ignoring and
over-looking trained graduates, post graduates
and quite a large number of Ph.D. This will notn
only malfunction the department but will also
spoil the future and career of thousands of
qualified persons who are aspiring for the same.
It is an irony that trained graduates like me are
crossing the upper age limits , while 10+2 are
getting jobs through Rehbar-e-Taleem Scheme.
Undeservings are being povided jobs but those who
deserves are being ignored and looked down upon.
Unemployment and rigging in Recruitment for
Government jobs has been one of the major factors
of militancy and terrorism in our state. Not only
Muslims but also Hindus have been found indulged
in this curse. It is the time when government
should take and treat the matter seriously. State
Government should awake from its long and deep
slumber and should at once abandon
Rehbar-e-Taleem 'Flop-Show'- the sooner the
better. It will save the society and nation from
more government to make B.Ed as the basic
qualification for the Recruitment of teachers. Dr
Farooq Abdullah is a high class politician and a
nice fellow, hope he too will take personal
interest in this matter and do the needful to
abolish this scheme immediately.
Yours etc....
