Change of rules to recruit teachers for Palike schools
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday told
the Legislative Council that the BBMP has not employed a single teacher
to its primary and high schools since 1999 and, the Palike and the
government will therefore amend the recruitment norms to employ teachers
to these institutions.
In a written reply to a
question by Ramachandra Gowda (BJP), Siddaramaiah said permanent
teachers working in the BBMP’s primary and secondary schools was less
than 20 per cent of the total teacher strength. He said that of the 146
primary school teachers, only 47 were permanent ones. In high schools,
out of 343 teachers only 88 teachers were permanent.
In a
written reply to M R Doreswamy (BJP), Siddaramaiah said that there was
no coordination between civic agencies in Bangalore in taking up
infrastructure projects. He said that a committee has been formed with
officials from the BWSSB and the Bescom to resolve inter-departmental
issues and end inconvenience to the common man.
