    Object & Reasons6

    Statement of Objects and Reasons. - The new education system of 10+2+3 was approved by the State and Central Government at the level of Chief Ministers conference. Introduction of this system involved the colleges only as in-charge of the three or more years Bachelors Degree Courses and POst-Graduate education. With this new system, a certain number of lecturers and teachers were likely to be rendered surplus, resulting into joining higher secondary schools or classes run by the colleges, as higher secondary school teachers.

    But according to statutes and rules of the some of the Universities in the State, a tutor, lecturer or a professor in the non-Government affiliated colleges is confirmed automatically after completion of two years of service.

    After the introduction of 10+2+3 system, as the surplus teachers were likely to be retrenched or persuaded to be absorbed in the staff of higher secondary classes, the postponement of confirmation of the teachers already serving became incumbent. As the academic year was to begin since June, and the House of Legislatures were not in session the Ordinances was promulgated.

    Provided that, where the confirmation of any teacher is postponed or the services of any teacher are terminated, any such teacher shall be given first preference when any equivalent or lower post of a teacher, to the post held by him immediately before the commencement of the said Ordinance, is to be filled in the college or under the same management for higher secondary education.
