This was the procedure for selection of teachers:

1. Filling up an online application form

2. Submission of documents to one of the Government centres

3. Going to Gandhinagar for district allotment

4. Visiting respective district head quarter and seeking the appointments in nearest schools

5. Collecting the appointment letters.

That’s it!

Do you think something is missing?

What is it?

Yes, there is no word or procedure called “interview”. What the government feels is – those who could score well in PTC or in BA, BEd make good teachers.

Who would agree to this assumption?

When I recall my primary schooling, no one has made a difference to me, except my parents who were keen to see me as a DOCTOR. The teachers, what can be expected from those poor guys, who become teacher because they are left with a single CHOICE?

Have your say so that something reaches to the government’s deep holed ears.
