Agartala, Sep 04, 2011 : Tripura government has recruited about 98 percent un-trained teachers in different high and higher secondary schools in the state in recent years state education minister Tapan Chakraborty revealed in the assembly.

According to the statement, the department had recruited about 6000 teachers in different schools of which barely 1.77 percent teachers are having necessary training for teachers as approved by the National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE).

Altogether 5860 teachers in different categories were recruited as teachers since 2009 and only 104 of them had possessed the necessary training approved by NCTE, recognized as eligible, he said adding that less than 20 percent of the total teachers in the state were trained as per national guideline.

Giving details Chakraborty said only 63 Post-Graduate Teachers (PGT) and 41 Graduate Teachers (GT) were included in trained teachers’ category while 5,756 candidates recruited were not having necessary standard training of the national criteria.

Meanwhile, opposition Congress blamed that only 9.01 percent people in Tripura were ‘educated’ and the state government did not initiate any attempt to improve the situation rather intentionally stayed away from implementation of National Curriculum Framework (NCF) introduced in 2005 by almost all the state to improve education system.

“The penetration of schools, colleges, universities and technical institutions are lowest in Tripura among other northeastern states and the education system in Tripura has been suffering from un-trained, inadequate and mal-distribution of teachers, which are solely responsible for poor performance of the students,” they alleged.
