Teachers who completed NIOS D.El.Ed. Feels cheated

Teachers who completed NIOS D.El.Ed. Program were left in the lurch after several recruitment agencies did not list D.El.Ed. Program as an eligibility criterion. Teachers took social media and demanded from the government for parity with other teachers’ training programs. Teachers who attended the NIOS D.El.Ed. Program said that they have been cheated by the different government agencies which offered them proper jobs and avenues after completion of the program which began in 2017.The affected candidates complained that they were offered NIOS D.El.Ed. Program which was designed and compulsory for all the in-service untrained teachers from the government, government-aided and private unaided elementary schools, but, later NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) denied them the chance.In a recent statement, Union Human Resource Development (HRD) minister said that NCTE has been given a task to lay down a list of minimum qualifications for the appointment of a teacher.Several candidates took the social media and demanded justice as they tagged Prime Minister, HRD Minister, NIOS and NCTE in their posts. "I am teaching in a small private school as many of the candidates who have been left in lurch with denial of the chance to appear for the exams with this eligibility which was earlier offered as a hope. Most of us are working with low salary, in some cases with less than Rs 3000 a month," a candidate from West Bengal told NDTV. "They started this course with the promise that this will be equivalent to any other D.El.Ed course and we would be able to apply anywhere in India," he added."When we were denied the opportunity for applying in Bihar TET, we knocked every door possible to find a solution, but, all closed their doors and even denied the audience to discuss our issue," the candidate alleged."The government exploited teachers from poor backgrounds after taking money from them. Though they are qualified now, they are not allowed to work in the government schools," another candidate from Uttar Pradesh said.However, states such as Delhi, Haryana and Sikkim have permitted the D.El.Ed. Candidates to apply for the jobs.
