The State government has directed deputy directors of education to fill all temporary vacancies arising in teaching and non-teaching posts in schools under the General Education department through employment exchanges.
The new directions for appointments to temporary vacancies were issued by the Director of General Education (DGE). This follows a letter earlier in the month from the Employment Joint Director to the DGE that against the backdrop of school reopening, all temporary vacancies arising in teaching and non-teaching posts in schools under the department should be informed to the employment exchange. The schools were directed to make appointments from the list of eligible candidates prepared by following the community quota order observed in the employment exchanges.
Temporary appointments in institutions bound by the Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules should be done through the employment exchanges. The letter quotes a 1958 order that all appointments that are not made by the State Public Service Commission (PSC) should be done through employment exchanges.
