The capital city of Gandhinagar is making headlines today. While the city got its new mayor today, The Teacher’s Eligibility Test (TET) – Teacher’s Aptitude Test (TAT) pass-outs staged a protest in Gandhinagar.
As per visuals of the protests doing rounds on social media, the authorities and police are seen dragging the aspirants and protestors on the roads of Gandhinagar near Sachivalay Bhavan (State Secretariat).
It has been a year since the state government introduced the Gyan Sahayak Bharti policy (gyan sahayak recruitment policy) for the recruitment of contractual teachers.
Instead of conducting permanent recruitments, the government has been implementing a temporary hiring plan for gyan sahayaks, leading to protests and dissatisfaction among the passed-out aspirants. Many positions in primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools remained vacant as thousands of candidates were not ready to join the recruitment for only 11 months.
