The appointment of teachers in Kanchanpur district has been flawed by inconsistencies and administrative hurdles, leaving appointed educators frustrated and schools understaffed.
On Baisakh 16, Mr. Khemraj Bhatta, appointed to Bhimadatta Municipality-9, Kanchanpur, by passing the Teachers Service Commission exam, awaited his deployment to the Education Development and Coordination Unit office from Kanchanpur. Despite his appointment in the primary third grade, Mr. Bhatta hasn't commenced teaching due to the unavailability of the designated school.
Similar frustration echoed from Mr. Bhatta and Ms. Nandakumari Chand, both of whom passed the commission but faced delays in their appointments. On the Chaitar 26, Mr. Bhatta, Ms. Nandakumari Chand, and Ms. Monika Chand, recently passing the commission, reached the Baldadi Rural Municipality Office. However, due to disagreements between the Education Development and Coordination Unit and Baldadi Rural Municipality, the designated schools remained unassigned.
Mr. Bhatta expressed his dissatisfaction, mentioning the inconsistency in the number of teachers allocated compared to the demand. He revealed that efforts to resolve the issue by contacting various authorities, including meeting Education Minister Sumana Shrestha and submitting written applications to the District Administration Office, had yielded no results.
The chief of the Education Development and Coordination Unit Office in Kanchanpur, Mr. Dipak Kaloni, attempted to address the situation by appointing three individuals to Baldadi Rural Municipality. However, only Ms. Monika Chand was appointed solely for teaching, leaving other positions vacant.
Mr. Kaloni acknowledged the irregularity in the municipality's vacancy provision and emphasized the need for coordination with the district administration to manage teacher allocations effectively. He proposed adjusting teacher management in schools with a high teacher-student ratio to alleviate the staffing crisis.
