Central govt's performance-linked career plan for schoolteachers -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph

If the NCTE proposals are accepted, they will be able to get promotions like their peers in colleges and universities

The Centre is set to introduce performance-linked promotion for schoolteachers.

The National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE), the apex regulatory body on teacher education, is holding consultations with teachers and other stakeholders on a draft National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) document prepared by it. It is not clear whether the NPST will be binding on the states or will be a guiding document.

Under the proposal, teachers in government and aided schools will have four career stages — beginner teacher, proficient teacher, expert teacher and lead teacher, with each having a separate salary structure. The teachers will be able to apply for promotion for the first two promotions after every three years, following which they will have to take a self-evaluation and then apply with an assessment agency if they meet the criteria, much like the appraisal in the private sector. The document does not mention after how many years one will be eligible for the lead teacher’s post.

Existing teachers will also be under the ambit of the proposed policy, although it is not clear yet how.

Now, different states have different policies on schoolteachers.

In Bengal, teachers in both government and aided schools have only one rank, that of assistant teacher. They can become assistant headmaster based on vacancies in individual schools and headmaster based on a fresh centralised recruitment system.

In government schools in Bengal, teachers get a salary increment every eighth, 16th and 25th year while in aided schools they receive two hikes every 10 years.
