Bathinda, November 27
A deputation of the Government School Lecturer Union, Punjab, today met chairman of the Zila Parishad Gurpreet Singh Maluka and submitted a memorandum asking to verify the certificates of the 431 teachers recruited under the head master cadre.
The union said the state education department had issued an advertisement for the recruitment of teachers under the head master cadre in 2004 and had asked for six years of teaching experience as one of the eligibility criteria.
The union said in 2006, 431 teachers were recruited and despite the fact that the rules clearly mentioned that the qualification and experience certificates of the candidates would be verified within six months of their recruitment, the same has not been done so far.
Hakam Singh, president of the union, said the issue of the several candidates furnishing fake information and experience letters had come to light shortly after the posts were filled but the education department didn't take any step to look into the matter.
The union also said the advertisement clauses also mentioned that in case the certificates submitted by any of the candidates were found to be fake, civil and criminal cases would be registered against him and he would have to deposit back the amount of salary and other incentives he had earned since the recruitment. All this could not be followed since the certificates were checked.
They requested the Zila Parishad chairman to look into the matter and do the needful. Also present during the meeting were district president Iqbal Singh, general secretary Gurpreet Singh, finance secretary Sarabjeet Singh and Pushmesh Kumar.
