Sir,
Introduction of ReTs scheme in the State over a decade ago, was necessitated due to falling standard of education. Rural and hilly areas were intensively affected due to unmanned vacancies and poor schooling. To ameliorate the disappointing educational scenario, the scheme was launched by engaging local educated youths to ensure regularity and punctuality which a teacher belonging to a distant place, generally fails to maintain. Without doubt, standard of education improved considerably. But with the passage of time and involvement of factors like corruption, nepotism and favouritism, it again started declining and the situation reached to the extent that the department had to lock many schools due to no enrolment. With squeezing interest of the masses to send their wards in Govt schools, the position of the department to ensure quality education becomes more awkward.
What has happened, happened. The transfer policy of ReTs is deeply disgusting and irksome. Displacement of female teachers after marriage is apparently unavoidable and diserves to be sympathised for transfers. Family problems, education of children and unsuitable place of posting become hurdles in performance of their duties. Making them to serve at one place, totally not within the reach, cause indescribable hardships for them. Moreover, keeping even a male teacher at one school for very long time, lessens his interest and creativity, intrinsically needed in a teacher, to provide quality education required these days.
Naturally, there is no logic and justification to continue such policy which inherits adverse affect. Any law which isn’t good or fit in the changed scenario, must be changed.
Yours etc….
