A resource bank of teachers who have retired will be created in the State, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating a function to give away State Teachers’ Awards for 2021, Prof. Joseph Mundassery Memorial Literary Awards, and the Vidyarangam Art and Literary Awards at the renovated Shikshak Sadan here on Saturday morning.
The Minister said there were many retired teachers who were keen on working in the education sector. The government wanted to tap into the skills and experience of such teachers from the coming academic year. Those who were willing to provide voluntary service in a district would be categorised on the basis of their subject, and their talents utilised by the government.
