JAIPUR: Principals boycotted the counselling session organised for them in Bikaner on Tuesday and raised slogans against the authorities. Reason: 17 of 33 districts were not opened for counselling. These principals were recently promoted from school lecturer and will be posted in other places.
Out of 33, just 16 districts were opened for counselling while Jaipur, Ajmer, Tonk, Alwar and 17 more districts were kept out of the counselling.
The districts kept out of the counselling are supposed to be most sought-after districts for postings.
Mahendra Pandey, general secretary of Rajasthan Primary and Secondary Teachers Association, said, "This is a serious issue and government needs to explain why it kept 17 districts out of the counselling. In absence of explanation it would show corruption in the education department. The districts that are closed are in high demand, so teachers’ agitation is justified."
The authorities said that they opened posts in districts where there was high demand for principals.
