Staff fixation
The staff fixation in government and aided schools in 2019-20 will continue in 2021-22 as well. Vacancies in regular posts in aided schools arising this year owing to retirement, resignation or death can be filled by managers from July 15. Education officials should clear these recommendations for appointment within a month.
Nearly 3,500 teachers had been unable to join service as schools remain closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan recently, the government decided to immediately take teachers who had received appointment orders into service.
