A government teachers' organization has questioned the exclusion of senior teachers from the APC, BRCC, BAC and CAC recruitment processes and has filed an RTI to obtain eligibility criteria and appointment details.
The state teachers' federation has raised concerns over a recent policy that bars teachers holding senior posts from participating in the selection processes for Assistant Principal (APC), Block Resource Centre Coordinator (BRCC), Block Academic Coordinator (BAC) and Cluster Academic Coordinator (CAC) positions. The organization argues that the rule lacks transparency and potentially deprives eligible senior educators of career advancement opportunities.
To clarify the basis of the exclusion, the federation submitted a Right to Information (RTI) application to the education department. The request seeks the official eligibility norms, the criteria used to deem candidates ineligible, and a detailed list of appointments made on a district-wise basis under the four recruitment schemes.
The move comes amid growing apprehension among senior teaching staff that the new rule may be arbitrarily applied. The teachers' body has urged the department to publish the relevant guidelines and ensure that the selection process remains fair and merit‑based.
The education department has not yet responded to the RTI request, and the federation plans to pursue further action if satisfactory information is not provided.
