The issue of Rajasthan Teacher Eligibility Test (REET) is constantly getting complicated. On one hand, the matter has been dragged to court. BEd degree holders have been disqualified in REIT Label One. Only BSTC degree holders are considered eligible. This order of the High Court has agitated the candidates. They are preparing to challenge the High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court. On the other hand, the displeasure of the candidates has increased due to the continuous delay in the recruitment process. Now the candidates are preparing to raise this matter on a big scale.
After Priyanka Gandhi, who entered the electoral fray in Uttar Pradesh, raised the issue of students, youth and unemployed, REIT candidates got more confidence that reaching them can solve the problem. Therefore, a group of REET candidates from Rajasthan reached Lucknow to plead with Priyanka. Candidates from Rajasthan are demanding that 50 thousand special teachers should be recruited in REET 2021. Along with this, there is also a demand that the remaining posts of nurse recruitment of 2013 should be appointed at the earliest.
Preparations for picketing for demands
The preparations of the REET candidates were to stage a sit-in in front of the Congress office in Lucknow for their demands. The candidates who came in large numbers wanted to meet Congress General Secretary and UP in-charge Priyanka Gandhi and want to speak. But, as Priyanka was not in Lucknow, she was assured to meet Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot. After this, he has been sent to the protest site at Eco Garden.
The strike will continue till the demand is accepted.
REET candidates say that they are constantly getting late in the planning process. In such a situation, till our demands are not accepted, our strike will continue. The candidates, who came to protest, say that till their demands are not accepted, the fast will not be called off in front of the Congress office. Candidates from Rajasthan are demanding that 50,000 special teachers should be recruited in REET 2021. Along with this, there is also a demand that the remaining posts of nurse recruitment of 2013 should be appointed at the earliest.
Government should appoint in teacher recruitment 2012
The protesters said that the appointment of teacher recruitment 2012 should also be done. The demand for special teachers for the differently-abled has also been made by the candidates. Upen Yadav, leader of Rajasthan Unemployment Unified Federation, said that an assurance has been given to meet Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot on Sunday.
