Education dept fails to keep word Attar Singh Tribune News Service
Patiala, February 12 The director of the state education department has issued verbal orders to all district education officers to sort out the application forms of teachers who have applied for jobs in the school education department. The director of public instructions (secondary), who is also the chairperson of the selection committee, has constituted various selection committees for recruitment of teachers in the state. He has forwarded all the application forms to the district headquarters for sorting and calculating merit of the teachers. The district education officer has further called science and maths teachers for calculation and sorting. Sources in the school education department said every teacher had been given 500 forms to sort out and calculate the merit and complete the exercise within 15 days. They had been called in holidays too for the same. It is pertinent to mention that following this, teachers had boycotted seminars in winter holidays and the government was forced to withdraw its decision. On condition of anonymity, teachers said they were appointed to teach students and not to do such clerical work. They added that board examinations were just round the corner and mathematics and science teachers had been put on non-teaching work, which was affecting studies in schools. The Punjab government had decided not to depute teaching faculty on non-teaching duties in the state. Punjab education minister Upinderjit Kaur, in meetings with representative of various teachers’ unions in August, had taken this decision.

Slice of history vis-à-vis modern times
Chandigarh, February 12 Directed by Kumara Varma of the department, the story revolves around Warren Hastings who comes to India and adapts the culture and later on succumbs to the system and becomes what the system wants him to be. “The idea is to show that in some form or the other the exploitation continues even after India being independent. Sometimes it is in the form of capitalism, sometimes globalisation and at times when the outside forces capture our markets. But it’s the common man who suffers ultimately”, said one of the actors. Lord Clive had observed what was happening in the contemporary times more than 200 years ago and his observations were depicted through a powerful speech in the play”, said another. To make it a success, the students are researching, rehearsing and doing everything related to the play themselves from costume designing to lights arranging. The show would be organised at the studio theatre in the department of Indian theatre, Panjab University, from February 14-23 at 6.30 pm. |
