Conduct performance appraisal of teachers, Assam Sarba Siksha Abhiyan tells DCs

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: Assam Sarba Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) has requested the deputy commissioners to conduct the annual performance appraisal of SSA contractual teachers and state pool teachers working under their jurisdiction. It is despite the opposition from the teachers against such an evaluation.

SSA has asked the deputy commissioners to issue notifications on the constitution of block approval authority and district approval authority for the annual performance appraisal of teachers on December 2, 2022. It has also set the deadline for submission of annual performance appraisal reports by the district approval authorities to the state approval authority in the web portal on December 29, 2022.

To make the state school administration system more efficient, effective, and transparent, Education Minister Ranoj Pegu launched three online applications on November 21, 2022, - Teacher Performance Appraisal, Basic Infrastructure Survey and School Inspection. The department developed the Web Application for 'Appraisal of Teachers' Performance' for the online collection of performance of TET Contractual and State Pool teachers. Teachers are registered in the portal and submit their self-appraisal reports through the online web application. Head Teachers (HTs), Block Approval Authority (BAA) concerned and District Approval Authority (DAA) will assess the self-appraisal reports of the TET Contractual/State Pool teachers. At each level, the assessment will carry 50 marks, and the final assessment will have an average of 150. In the case of a TET Contractual/State Pool teacher holding the charge of HT or in the case of a single teacher, the assessment will carry 50 marks at each Block and District level, and such teachers will get an average mark out of 100. The final approval will be from the State Approval Authority.

The state has 26,064 contractual teachers under SSA and 9,254 teachers under the state pool working in around 42,000 lower and upper primary schools.
