Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi declared that dependents of teachers died of COVID-19 during poll duty will be given jobs as teachers, provided they have requisite qualification.
Also, dependents who are not TET qualified but are eligible for class three posts will be given jobs even if there is no such post vacant.
“Those dependents who did not possess TET qualification but were post-graduates, were given jobs as class four employees. Being a teacher, I find it derogatory to see a qualified person working as a peon, attendant and even sweeper,” the minister was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
“Now, a dependent who is not TET qualified but is eligible for a clerical post, will be given a job in class three category. In case there is no such post vacant, they will be appointed on ‘over and above the sanctioned posts’. They will start working with us right away and when a post becomes vacant, their names will be formally entered,” he further explained.
