ARTIAF pleads with Education minister to call back excess BEOs

: The Arunachal RTI Activist Forum (ARTIAF) today pleaded with Education Minister Tapang Taloh to initiate measures to call back all the excess Block Education Officer (BEO) serving under various districts of the state.
"Altogether 150 teachers were appointed as BEOs by the state government against the sanctioned post of 32 such officers," a copy of the memorandum said here today.
The Forum in a memorandum to the minister alleged that as per government notification there should be a total sanctioned post of 32 BEOs for the entire state but surprisingly there are more than 100 BEO's serving in the state, which amounts to clear and gross violation of government circular on August 23, 2010.

While demanding immediate call back of subject teachers engaged as BRC/CRC in various flagship programmes like SSA/RMSA or any other non-teaching jobs, the ARTIAF alleged that instead of fulfilling the genuine demands and needs of the people, the education department deputes and diverts teaching staffs as non-teaching staffs.
It also demanded for a permanent ban on further deputation of teachers to other departments or posts at the cost of the parent department.
