Headmasters raise alarm over exclusion of non-teaching staff
The Statesman Kolkata
|April 19, 2025
Headmasters of various government-run and government-aided schools, under the banner of the Advanced Society for Headmasters and Headmistresses (ASFHM), have expressed deep concern over the marginalisation of qualified non-teaching staff in the education sector.
They highlighted the crucial role these staff members play in the day-to-day administration of government-sponsored institutions.
Clerks and other non-teaching personnel are responsible for implementing 17 social welfare schemes initiated by both central and state governments, designed to benefit students from underprivileged backgrounds. The school heads voiced alarm over the acute shortage of non-teaching staff following a recent Supreme Court verdict that annulled their appointments due to a flawed and allegedly corrupt recruitment process.
