The new rationalisation policy introduced by Karnataka government in the appointment and transfer policy of the teachers in schools from primary to higher secondary would be both a boon and a curse for the educationally backward Kalyana Karnataka region.
As per the Additional Commissioner of Public Instructions estimation, the Kalyana Karnataka region is likely to lose nearly 12,000 teachers both in the primary and higher secondary government schools after the introduction of the rationalisation policy which strictly follows the 1:30 teacher-student ratio in the class rooms in both the primary and higher secondary government schools.
Official sources told The Hindu in Kalaburagi city on Saturday that the present strength of the teachers in the government schools in the Kalyana Karnataka region was 57,516 which included 45,985 primary school teachers and 11,531 higher secondary school teachers. Of this, 14,042 primary school teacher posts and 1,980 higher secondary teachers post were vacant.
