Haryana DElEd: Over 5,000 teaching and non-teaching staff members are employed by private institutions that provide the teaching credential.
NEW DELHI: According to a report in The Tribune, the Haryana government is considering ending diploma degrees in elementary education (DELEd), which would force 342 private institutions to close.
According to the study, over 5,000 teaching and non-teaching employees are at risk of losing their jobs as the government considers shutting fresh admissions to this programme. According to The Tribune, 342 private institutions provide over 21,000 places.
If the colleges are closed, 3,456 instructors and 1,728 non-teaching employees will lose their employment. Admissions normally begin in July, but there have been no preparations established as of yet. “No new admissions would be made this session,” Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar told The Tribune.
College administrators have asked that the government reconsider its stance, claiming that it will encourage students to pursue further education outside of Haryana and result in the layoff of over 5,100 teaching and non-teaching personnel. “All institutions would close down if the government discontinues the course,” Satish Khola, head of the Haryana Self-Finance Private College Association, told The Tribune.
The admissions procedure for the course usually begins in July, but no admission timetable has been announced thus far this year.” “They had sought recommendations from the state government concerning admission in the diploma programme this session but…had received no answer so far,” said Rishi Goyal, director of Haryana’s State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT).
Furthermore, Kanwar Pal Gurjar, the education minister, indicated that the government was serious about phasing out DELEd courses since they do not match with the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020).
