INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, December 15
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority has directed local levels not to reappoint any school
teacher who retired from service as part of the golden handshake scheme offered by the government.
An inquiry conducted by the anti-graft
body suggested that some community schools had reappointed temporary teachers, who could not attain permanent status through open
competition for years, at the behest of the concerned local levels
According to a report of the anti-graft body, municipalities and rural municipalities were indulged in creating new positions and appointing
teachers without complying with the prescribed criteria and procedures to provide jobs to the relatives of local level office-bearers
&No local level or school is authorised to create new positions of teachers in contravention of the number of posts sanctioned by the
Ministry of Education, Science and Technology,& the report read.
As per the Local Government Operation Act-2017, local levels shall only
adjust the position of teachers and support their capacity development
&However, some of the local levels were found to have appointed and transferred teachers
It is strongly suggested that the Education Rules-2002, be fully complied with for appointment and transfer of community school teachers,&
Some local levels have misused state resource by providing schemes for physical infrastructure development to schools which were not
entitled to such facilities, either due to low number of students or for already possessing required infrastructure.
