Posting orders for TRE-3.0 qualified teachers to be issued soon, says govt

Patna: In a bid to address the concerns of candidates who qualified in the third phase of the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-3.0) and protested in the state capital on Friday demanding immediate appointment, additional chief secretary (ACS) of the education department, S Siddharth, announced on Saturday that their posting orders would be issued within a week, allowing them to join their allotted schools.
Appointment letters for the successful candidates of TRE-3.0, conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission, were distributed on March 9 with CM Nitish Kumar personally handing over letters to some of the selected teachers at a ceremony at Gandhi Maidan.
"We have finalised everything and posting orders for TRE-3.0 successful candidates will be issued by coming Friday or Saturday. The teachers will have to join their respective schools from May 5," Siddharth said at the weekly programme 'Shiksha Ki Baat, Har Shanivar'.
He added that careful consideration had been given during the finalisation of postings, ensuring that schools facing acute teacher shortages would receive the maximum number of educators to improve the teacher-student ratio across the state.
Addressing another issue, Siddharth said schools operating from the same campus should be merged and their educational activities will be integrated to create a more convenient and congenial academic environment. He added that all district education officers had already been instructed to take the necessary steps in this regard.
In response to a question regarding the lack of formal guidelines on the 'Bagless Saturday' scheme, which came into effect in Nov 2022, Siddharth said the guidebook was currently being updated. A revised period-wise curriculum, incorporating new activities such as skill training, sports and other extracurricular pursuits, would be uploaded to the department's website within the next 10 to 15 days.
He said all teachers selected through BPSC would be entitled to medical and maternity leave, similar to their other counterparts.
Siddharth announced that funding for infrastructure requirements in govt schools, including boundaries, toilets, classrooms, laboratories, libraries and furniture, would be sanctioned by the first week of May. "Completion of related works will be ensured by July-Aug," he said.

15 teachers dismissed in Buxar over selection irregularities

Buxar: Education department on Friday dismissed 15 teachers in Buxar who were appointed through the teachers' recruitment examination (TRE), citing serious irregularities in their selection. The action was taken by district education officer, Amarendra Kumar Pandey. According to official sources, 14 of the dismissed teachers are residents of Uttar Pradesh (UP), who fraudulently claimed the benefits of reservation meant exclusively for candidates with domicile of Bihar. In addition to this, these teachers secured less than the required 60% marks in the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), making them ineligible under the general category. One more teacher was dismissed for not studying Urdu at the Intermediate level, despite being appointed as an Urdu teacher. The DEO cited official correspondence from the director of secondary education (letter no. 1341; May 15, 2024) and deputy director (letter no. 1507; July 15, 2024), which stated that reservation benefits are not to be extended to non-residents of Bihar. Based on these directives, the appointments were reviewed and subsequently invalidated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo Prior to their dismissal, all teachers were issued notices seeking clarifications.
