Education Minister Sandeep Singh

Lucknow, 18 June (HS): Under the leadership of Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government has taken a significant

decision to further strengthen the teacher education and training system. The

Basic Education Department has made permanent 3,346 temporary positions in the

state's 70 District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs), operated

under the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Lucknow,

Uttar Pradesh. A government order has been issued in this regard by Partha

Sarathi Sen Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary, Basic Education Department.

State Minister of State for Basic Education (Independent

Charge) Sandeep Singh said that under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath, the government is giving top priority to teacher education. The

decision to make 3,346 DIET posts permanent is historic. This will provide

service security and boost the morale of teachers and employees who have been

working on temporary basis for years.

He said that the District Institutes of Education and

Training are the backbone of teacher training. Making the posts permanent will

ensure the permanent availability of human resources in the institutions, bring

continuity to training programs, and accelerate the goal of preparing quality

teachers in accordance with the National Education Policy-2020. The government

is committed to ensuring trained and dedicated teachers in every school in the

state, so that children can receive quality education.

Permanent positions: The permanent positions include 70

principals, 70 vice principals, 70 statisticians, 70 work experience teachers,

420 senior lecturers, 1,190 lecturers, 70 technical assistants, 70 office

superintendents, 70 librarians, 70 accountants, 70 stenographers, 630 clerks,

126 laboratory assistants, and 350 Class IV employees. Granting permanent

status to these positions will provide long-term stability to the

administrative and educational systems at DIET institutions.

The government order states that these posts were created in

various phases and their duration was extended from time to time by the

government. Posts were previously approved for 18 districts in the first phase,

16 districts in the second phase, 22 districts in the third phase, and 14

districts in the fourth phase. Now, the government has granted permanent

approval to these posts in all 70 DIETs, ending the temporary arrangement that

had been in place for years.

The District Institutes of Education and Training are

important units in the state for teacher training, educational research,

curriculum development, innovation, and ensuring quality education in primary

and upper primary schools. Making these positions permanent will ensure the

availability of human resources in these institutions and provide long-term

strength to the state's school education system.

The government order also clarifies that the process of

stabilizing the posts has been carried out in accordance with the government's

financial and administrative regulations, and the concerned officials have been

instructed to ensure necessary compliance. This government decision is being

considered an important step towards strengthening the teacher education

system, increasing the efficiency of DIET institutions, and realizing the goal of

quality education in the state.

According to the government order, approval has been granted

to convert these posts into permanent positions, effective August 2, 2016.

Furthermore, employees working in these positions will continue to receive the

benefits of dearness allowance and other permissible allowances approved by the

government from time to time. Expenditures on these positions will be borne

from the relevant budget item.
