Govt to Take Over Teaching & Non-teaching Staff of Private-Aided Schools in Haryana

There is good news for thousands of teaching and non-teaching staff working on the sanctioned and aided posts in the privately managed aided schools across Haryana.

In an apparent “pro-employee” decision, the Haryana Government has decided to “take over” the teaching and non-teaching staff of these institutions in a bid to improve the education standard and check the exploitation of staff at the hands of privately run educational institutions.

A communication by the Director, Secondary Education, to all privately managed aided schools has asked the latter to provide details of the staff working on the sanctioned posts.

“The matter regarding taking over the staff (both teaching and non-teaching) working on the sanctioned/aided posts in the private aided schools is under the active consideration of the state government and a policy is being framed in this regard,” the communication said, asking the private schools to submit the details by March 19.

Sources said a meeting with the managements of the privately managed aided schools would be held after March 19 to work out the modalities of “taking over” the staff of these institutions.

Though taking over the staff by the government would entail more expenditure, it would pave the way for more control over the privately run educational institutions, which are currently law unto themselves in the selection of teachers and admission process. The state government contributes a major share - 95 per cent - of the salaries of teaching and non-teaching staff of the aided schools.

Wielding the stick

Against the backdrop of the state government’s recent tug-of-war with the private schools over admission of 25 per cent economically weaker section (EWS) students, the proposed policy seems to be in the direction of ultimate takeover of the privately managed schools. While the government may have its own justification to “take over” the staff of these schools, the decision may run into severe criticism at the hands of private school managements.
