Union Minister of State for Education Jayant Chaudhary on Monday said that there is no provision for the regularization of contract teachers in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs). He provided this information in response to a written question in the Lok Sabha. The question was by Ujjawal Raman Singh, MLA from Congress.
Chaudhary explained that contractual teachers, who meet the qualifications set by KVS and NVS, are hired on a short-term basis to fill vacancies caused by transfers, retirements, and leaves. This arrangement ensures that the teaching-learning process is not disrupted.
In the Lok Sabha, the minister informed that in KVs based in Uttar Pradesh, there are 19 posts of PGTs, 516 posts of TGTs and 439 posts of PRTs, a total of 974 regular posts have been operationalised.
He further emphasized that there is no provision to regularize contract teachers in KVs and JNVs, as their appointments are purely temporary measures designed to safeguard the academic interests of the students.
At present, 53 Posts of PGTs and 173 Posts of TGTs, a total of 226 regular posts have been sanctioned and created in these JNVs for Classes 6 to 12.
