Ranchi, Sept.1: JTET Uttirn Shikshak Bahali Morcha-2016 will lay siege to the official residence of state education minister Jagarnath Mahto to protest against the proposed new teacher recruitment test rule. They are unhappy with this proposal as they think it is an attempt to deprive them of direct recruitment as teachers in government schools.
“Over 53,000 candidates across the state qualified TET in 2016 but none of them was called for counseling so far. They have been waiting for nearly five years. We are all getting older, we all need jobs. Our lives are on hold. In this situation, the government is planning a new recruitment rule for teachers. This is injustice,” said Parimal Kumar, state president of the union of TET qualified candidates, informing about the programme.
Earlier on June 6 this year, JTET qualified candidates under the patronage of Rashtriya Yuva Andalon Halla Bol had opened a front against chief minister Hemant Soren alleging him of being ignorant of its promises made during the assembly election.
