Bihar Education Minister Chandra Shekhar on Wednesday triggered a row by saying that teaching job candidates in the State were not competent to teach subjects such as English, physics, chemistry and mathematics due to which many seats remained vacant. He said that teachers from other States would provide quality education.
The Minister defended the decision of the Nitish Kumar government to remove domicile-based reservation for recruitment of teachers in State government run-schools.
“The decision has been taken to provide quality education. The talented students of the country will take part in it [recruitment exams].... The decision has been taken so that we can get quality teachers in the schools of Bihar.”
