List of 36000 Primary Teachers: The Calcutta High Court has cancelled the appointment of approximately 36,000 candidates in the primary teacher recruitment process. These teachers, who were appointed between 2016 and the time of the court ruling, have the opportunity to continue working for the next four months but at a reduced salary similar to what para teachers receive. According to Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, the recruitment process was found to be manipulated, thus leading to this significant decision. Additionally, the court has ordered that these 36,000 vacancies must be filled within a period of three months.
This is not the first instance where the Calcutta High Court has intervened in teacher recruitment. Earlier, in February, the court cancelled the appointments of 1,911 candidates, followed by a cancellation of 842 candidates in March. Most recently, on 12 May 2023, the court ordered that 27,415 appointments made through the Primary Teacher Eligibility Test 2014 (TET-2014) were to be cancelled. The chairman of the Primary Education Board clarified that the 36,000 teachers in question were trained online by 2019, hence they are not considered untrained anymore.
Details of the 36000 Primary Teacher Scenario in West Bengal
The recent court order encompasses around 36,000 teachers derived from a larger pool of 42,500 candidates who were recruited via the Primary Teacher Eligibility Test conducted in 2016. It is reported that several of these appointments lacked proper interviews, attitude assessments, and required qualifications.
