SHILLONG: RTI findings have revealed alleged discrepancy on the part of the Deputy Inspector of School, Jowai in the appointment of Assistant Lower Primary teachers in Mynkrem Government LP School.
The RTI was filed by the Dorbar Shnong of Mynkrem village following allegations that appointments to the posts of assistant teachers in the school were made on the recommendations of politicians.
The RTI revealed that applications candidates with lower percentage were preferred over those with higher marks.
“The Sub-Divisional School Education Officer (SDSEO) Jowai recommended the lesser qualified candidates to the Directorate of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) in March this year,” secretary of Mynkrem village, Hesperly Khyriem told newsmen here on Friday.
He added that the SDSEO also tampered with the number of applications for the post of assistant teachers.
“A total number of nine candidates submitted their applications for the post out of which the SDSEO only showed seven,” he said adding that the two missing applications belong to youths from his village.
In a similar incident at Nongjngi village, the same SDSEO allegedly failed to make appointments in Nongjngi Khliehshnong Government LP School on merit basis.
“I had submitted an application in January this year to the office of the SDSEO but it did not entertain my application for reasons unknown,” Patrikstone Daw, a resident of Nongjngi village who applied for the post told reporters here.
“It was only after repeated visits to the office of SDSEO that the application was accepted,” he said.
Daw is a trained teacher who recently completed his Diploma in Elementary Education.
