Chandigarh: With
education in the international border belt with Pakistan being
affected by non-availability of teachers, the Punjab government
Friday announced the creation of a separate cadre of teachers.
Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, after a meeting of
senior functionaries here Friday, said the separate cadre of
teachers will be for the 16-km border belt "keeping in view the
acute and perennial shortage of teachers in the border belt".
Punjab shares a 550-km-long international border with Pakistan.
Over the years, the Punjab government has been facing the problem
of teachers unwilling to be posted in schools in the border belt.
Reviewing the working of the education department with Education
Minister S.S. Maluka and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Sukhbir
said that "since the last 65 years, border areas have faced a
constant problem of shortage of teachers and this could be solved
only by creating a separate cadre, who would remain permanently
posted in the border areas".
Maluka said the education department had asked teachers if they
would like to be included in the border cadre. He said that after
filling the posts by options, the remaining vacant posts would be
advertised for fresh recruitment.
Giving directions to fill vacant posts in rural schools across
Punjab, Badal said the already recruited teachers and all teachers
hired in the future would be compulsorily posted in rural areas
for a minimum of three years.
Badal directed that postings of teachers should be rotated and
those enjoying permanent urban postings should be also made to
serve in rural areas.
