Narendra Modi govt following failed policy of Cong-led UPA to harass DU teachers
It is extremely shocking that the BJP’s central government has forced the Delhi University teachers to go on a strike at a time when the checking of answer sheets of under graduate classes is going on.
The Aam Aadmi Party opposes the latest UGC notification since there is no reason to increase the work load of Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and Professors by six hours each every week.
THIS IS NOT ALL – WHAT IS HIGHLY SHOCKING IS THAT THE MODI GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO IMPOSE THE DECISION OF PREVIOUS CONGRESS-LED UPA GOVERNMENT TO INTRODUCE POINTS SYSTEM FOR PROMOTION OF TEACHERS OF DELHI UNIVERSITY, WHICH THE FORMER HRD MINISTER KAPIL SIBAL COULD NOT DO DUE TO STIFF OPPOSITION FROM DU TEACHERS.
The latest UGC notification appears to have been brought with the sole intention of not filling up the large number of vacant teaching posts in the colleges of the Delhi University.
The reason is clear that the Narendra Modi government has slashed the budget for higher education and is now forcing the UGC to take anti-teachers steps by increasing their work load, in place of filling up the existing vacancies of teachers.
Conservative estimates show atleast 3,000-3,500 ad-hoc teachers currently teaching in various DU colleges will lose their jobs if this UGC notification is not withdrawn.
AAP asks the following questions to the union HRD minister Ms Smriti Irani :
- What is the reason for this injustice to Delhi University teachers ?
- Why is the Modi government trying to impose the Kapil Sibal’s failed policy of points system for teachers promotion ?
- Why is the HRD minister shying away from implementing the recommendations of Professor Nigvekar committee which was set-up during her tenure on teachers promotion ?
