Read at: Times of India
ALLAHABAD: Faced with the problem of adverse pupil-teacher ratio (PTR)
in many Kendriya Vidyalayas of the country and strictly adhering to the
guidelines of Right to Education Act (RTEA), KV Sangathan would soon be
recruiting over 5,000 new teachers. Among these, over 400 new teachers
would be recruited in Varanasi region.
Of 1,100 odd KVs spread across the country, there are many where the
strength of students is over 50 per class and in some cases, it reaches
around 65.
Deputy commissioner, KVS, regional office, Varanasi, PV Sai Ranga Rao
said: "KVS had always been following RTE. From the coming academic
session in April 2015, we would adhere to the set norms in every
respect, including PTR." In accordance to RTE, the TTR would be brought
down to the prescribed norm i.e. one teacher for every 40 students (for
class I to 5) and one teacher for every 35 students (for class 6-8).
KVS has asked principals of all the schools to furnish information
pertaining to how many more teacher they would require to follow the
norms of PTR as per the RTE Act. "Now that the number of teachers to be
recruited is known, the Sangathan would soon start recruitment process,"
Rao said.
Principal of KV, New Cantt, Shalini Dikshit said that the work load of
teachers in a class of 65 students would be divided among two teachers.
It will benefit pupils.
Rao said: "We would require more teachers for science which could be
around 150. Likewise, the numbers could be anything around 90 for
mathematics, English and other subjects."
