Sisodia said that these teachers should be absorbed as permanent staff as they have been working with DU for decades and have the necessary experience to deal with students from diverse backgrounds.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has written a letter to Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, saying that 70 per cent of its temporary teachers are being “displaced”.
Sisodia said that these teachers should be absorbed as permanent employees as they have been working with DU for decades and have the necessary experience in dealing with students from diverse backgrounds.
“The ongoing interviews for assistant professors in various colleges of DU have been disastrous, with reports saying that 70 per cent ad-hoc teachers are being displaced. We believe that ad hoc teachers should be included in permanent recruitment,” the deputy chief minister said in his letter.
“Many of these teachers have been teaching in Delhi University colleges for decades. They understand the challenges an institution like Delhi University faces in dealing with students coming from different parts of the country with diverse linguistic backgrounds and academic experiences. The experience of classroom teaching cannot be replaced,” he said.
Sisodia, who is also the education minister, requested the VC to facilitate the absorption of ad-hoc and temporary teachers in Delhi government colleges and assured that the government-designated college boards would extend full cooperation. Over 4,500 teachers work as ad hoc in DU’s colleges and departments.
