Port Blair, July 26: The Member of Parliament, Shri Bishnu Pada Ray has requested the Chief Secretary, A&N Administration for re-engagement of Part Time Primary Teachers, Pre-Primary Ayahs and Part Time Ayahs in the Education Department, who were removed from their job after the new Recruitment Rule was put in place.
In his letter, Bishnu mentions that there are about 115 such Part Time Workers, who were not given employment since April 2012. Under the new Recruitment Rule framed by the Administration, these workers are not eligible as the minimum educational qualification is 12th Pass and Montessori/ JBT has been made compulsory.
Most of the Part Time Pre-Primary Teachers who have been removed from their services are 10th Pass. The Pre-Primary Teachers and other part time workers have rendered 5-25 years of continuous service, without any break except for the last one and a half year.
