GUWAHATI: The All Assam Venture M.E. School Deprived Science Teachers' Association Elementary Education has demanded the government to provincialize the posts of the teachers who were deprived of the provincialization process due to unavailability of UDISE number.
The Association underlined that posts of around 200 teachers were not provincialized as they didn't have UDISE number.[Also Read: Guwahati Crime News]
Addressing the media, the Association's secretary Jamsedur Rahman stated, "According to the Assam Education (Provincialization of Services of Teachers and Re-organization of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017 we joined our duties before December 31, 2012. We had also received a one-time assistance granted by the government and the Officer of the District Elementary also acknowledged our posts. However, due to various reasons we were not able to fill our names in the UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education). Due to this, we were deprived of the provincialization process. It is mandatory for schools to have a UDISE number to appoint teachers but, it is not mandatory for teachers to have the same.
