VHSE Merging- The internet upto Date

Merging, Revamping,Restructuring തുടങ്ങിയ ചില പദങ്ങള്‍ കേരള vocational higher secondary ജീവനക്കാരുടെ ദൈനംദിന പദങ്ങളില്‍ ഒന്നായി മാറിയെന്നു മാത്രമല്ല പലരിലും ആശങ്ക ജനിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയിട്ട് കാലം ഏറെയായി. 80 കളില്‍ Pre-degree Board ഉം തുടര്‍ന്ന്‍ Pre-degreeപ വേര്‍പെടുത്തലും ഒട്ടേറെ വിവാദങ്ങള്‍ സൃഷ്ടിച്ചെങ്കിലും പരിഷ്കാരങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്ന് ഗവണ്മെന്റിനു പിന്മാറാന്‍ ആവുമായിരുന്നില്ല. higher secondary രംഗത്തെ പുതിയ പരിഷ്കാരങ്ങള്‍ എന്തായിതീരുമെന്ന്‍ പ്രവചനം പോലും അസാധ്യമാണെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു. നിലവിലുള്ള vocational higher secondary അതേപോലെ തുടരുമോ Skill developement center വഴി നടത്താന്‍ ഉദേശിക്കുന്നത് പരിഷ്കരിച്ച VHSE ആണോ എന്നൊന്നും വ്യക്തമല്ല. ഉന്നതങ്ങളും ഈ കാര്യത്തില്‍ ഇരുട്ടില്‍ തപ്പിതടയുകയാണ്. Merging നെ സംബന്ധിച്ച് ഒരു ഓര്‍ഡറോ സര്‍ക്കുലാറോ ഒന്നും ഇതുവരെ ലഭിച്ചിട്ടില്ലെന്നാണ് ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട എല്ലാ കേന്ദ്രങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്നും ലഭിച്ച വിവരം. vocational higher secondary യെ ഒരു ചതുര്‍ത്ഥിയായിക്കാണുന്ന General Education Department ലെ ഒരു പ്രമുഖന്‍ Merging നു വേണ്ട തയ്യാറെടുപ്പിലാനത്രേ. തെക്കന്‍ കേരളത്തിലെ ഒരു ഭരണകക്ഷി അധ്യാപക സംഘടന നേതാവുമായി ( VHSE ജീവനക്കാരനായ)

കഴിഞ്ഞ ആഴ്ചയില്‍ നടത്തിയ കൂടിക്കാഴ്ചയില്‍ എന്തോ ഫോര്‍മുല ഉണ്ടായെന്നോ Merging അടഞ്ഞ അധ്യായമാല്ലയെന്ന്‍ തീരുമാനിച്ച് മുന്നോട്ട് നീങ്ങാനും പദ്ധതിയിട്ടതായി തെക്കന്‍ കേരളത്തിലെ ഒരു സ്റ്റാഫ്‌ വ്യക്തമാക്കി. Merging നെ നഖശിഖാന്തം എതിര്‍ക്കുന്ന vocational സ്റ്റാഫിലെ ഒരു വിഭാഗത്തെ തങ്ങളുടെ പക്ഷത്തെത്തിക്കുന്നതിലും ഈ അച്ചുതണ്ട് ഇതിനകം വിജയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട് എന്നും അദ്ദേഹം സ്വകാര്യ സംഭാഷണത്തില്‍ വ്യക്തമാക്കി.

vocational higher secondary vocational teacher, vocational instructor, Lab Technical Assistant എന്നിവരുടെ സംയുക്തസമിതി പ്രസ്തുത വിഷയത്തില്‍ 2012 October 2 നു Secrateriate പടിക്കല്‍ പ്രതിഷേധ ധര്‍ണ നടത്താന്‍ തീരുമാനിച്ചതായി അനൌദ്യോഗിക കേന്ദ്രങ്ങള്‍ വെളിപെടുത്തി.

സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജീവനക്കാരുടെ redeployment നു വേണ്ടിയുള്ള സര്‍വേസംഘം vocational higher secondary സ്കൂളുകള്‍ സന്ദര്‍ശിച്ച് തുടങ്ങിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. ജീവനക്കാരുടെ പ്രശ്നങ്ങള്‍ പഠിക്കാന്‍ എന്ന മുഖവുരയോടെ എത്തുന്ന സംഘാംഗങ്ങല്‍ ജീവനക്കാരുടെ workload നെ സംബന്ധിച്ച് പഠിച്ച് LTA മാരെ പുനര്വിന്യസിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ ശുപാര്‍ശ ചെയ്തേക്കും എന്നും ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട കേന്ദ്രങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്ന് അറിയാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു.( ഇതൊക്കെ യാഥാര്‍ത്ഥ്യം ആവുമോ എന്ന് കണ്ടു തന്നെ അറിയണം.

2012 March അവസാനം കേരള വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ മന്ത്രി നടത്തിയ പ്രസ്താവന VHSE Merging പൊതു ചര്‍ച്ചയായി. അനുകൂലിച്ചും പ്രതികൂലിച്ചും ഒട്ടേറെ പ്രസ്താവനകള്‍ internet ലും പലയിടത്തായി കാണപ്പെട്ടു. പൊതുവേ Merging നെ എതിര്‍ക്കുന്നു എന്ന് കരുതപ്പെടുന്ന Lab Technical Assistant, Vocational Instructors തുടങ്ങിയവരുടെ സംഘടനകളുടെ ഔദ്യോഗിക website ല്‍ Merging നെ അനുകൂലിക്കുന്ന നിലപാടുകള്‍ക്ക്‌ പ്രാമുഖ്യം ലഭിച്ചു.(അവരുടെ ഔദ്യോഗിക നിലപാട്‌ അങ്ങനെ ആണെന്ന്‍ തോന്നുന്നില്ല.)

ആ ചര്‍ച്ചകള്‍ ഇവിടെ ചേര്‍ക്കുന്നു

Shall we Support or Resist the proposal of Merging or Revamping VHSE ?

Let me ask all of you one question – Should we support or resist in
a) Merging of VHSE with HSE
b) Revamping VHSE
c) Bringing all general education sector of the state under Director of Public Instructions
Merging
of VHSE with HSE means from the date of merging, VHSE with HSE there
will be no VHSE department and the whole unit will be considered as a
single department in the name HSE department. By revamping VHSE
department means top to bottom modification of VHSE department with
additions and deletion of courses etc would be done.. Yet another
proposal considered by the government is bringing all the general
education sector of the state under Director of Public Instructions
(DPI)
This is a debate and like participation from all friends. I
am putting here my views and more creative additions for and against my
views are expected to be published here
We should be aware that we
are living in a technically, economically and socially progressing
atmosphere. Standing all alone among the crowd in any way will not help
to get full benefits of individuals rather can help promoting the
selfish motives of few persons. Most of the VHSE staffs are sacrificing own benefits for the selfish motives of few people. Please be CAUTIOUS on this.
As one of my friends rightly said (Watch the guest book of our site itself)
“As
said by Ms Suhasini, we should be able to understand the hidden motives
of the teaching staff of our department and also their selfish motive
behind the resistance of merging
If
merging is undertaken, we may be placed with some other posts according
to our qualification and other departments rather than being a part of
this dead department
SO ALL OF UNITE TOGETHER FOR SUCCESSFUL MERGING OF BOTH DEPARTMENTS “
Now consider our department, we can divide it in to 4 parts
1) The Executive wing – Constituted by the Director of VHSE to the Assistant Directors of VHSE
2) The Vocational Staff – Constituted by the Vocational Teacher, Vocational Instructor and The Lab Technical Assistants
3) The non Vocational staff – Consisting of Non Vocational Teachers
4) The ministerial Staff – Consisting of all others namely the Clerks, Peons, Watchman etc etc
Again the educational Institutions can be divided in to 2 as follows
1) Privately Managed but Aided Schools
2) Government Managed Schools
Let
us examine each category one by one to find out where the resistance of
merging lies and what is the motive behind the resistance
The Executive wing
– We are aware that the power one have in own house cannot be shown in
other house and hence they will naturally resist the move for merging.
Once merging is done, they will be reallocated to other department or be
part of a large department and they cannot “Show off” as at present. It
has been noted that the top level executives are injecting poison to
the lower level staff of the department to resist merging. May be with
the motive of merging, the State Government is not interested in filling
the post of Director of the Department
The Vocational Staff
– Major and probably the only group that resist in successful merging
of both departments is the vocational staff of the department. As the
Executive wing cannot directly show their dissatisfaction, their plan of
action is implemented through the Vocational Staff of the department
and to a reasonable extends through the non vocational staff also.
Combined with the support of top level executive and the laziness of
carrying out their duties and responsibilities is the major driving
force of such resistance. The vocational Staff wing itself can be
divided in to three
a) Vocational Teacher (VT)
b) Vocational Instructor (VI) and
c) Laboratory Technical Assistant (LTA) in which we all include
Dear
friends, all of us know the importance of Vocational Higher Secondary
Education. There will be a Vocational Subject based on which each and
every student will acquire skill. All of us are aware of the duty of a
Vocational Teacher. He/She is the one who is primarily responsible for
teaching skills to students. Next comes the Vocational Instructor and we
the LTAs are having supportive function only. But now a
days in each and every VHSSs it has been seen that Vocational Teachers
and Vocational Instructors are fighting each other competing in washing
off hands from their responsibilities. Often in such cases we become the scalp goat. How
come we will be performing our duty when we are appointed in a trade
which we dont have any skill and it is not our fault too? One more thing
worth noting here, quoting a small clauses of special rules we are being forced to perform the duties of Office Assistants or even Peons.
Such situations should change. For such a change I hope merging of VHSE
and HSE is the only solution we have at present. As far as what I know,
a huge proportion of the Vocational staff themselves is favoring the
proposal of merging. That is what in the beginning itself I said, just
for protecting the selfish motives of a small fraction of staff we
should not sacrifice our future
All of
us know the recent happenings when the post of Principal in VHSS is
sanctioned. Vocational Teachers claim that it is their right to become
the Principal and Non Vocation Teachers are in no way eligible for the
post. Let me ask you one question to the Vocational Teachers. Just by
studying a professional Degree course how come you are superior to Non
Vocational Teachers who are having bundles of qualification like PG
followed by B.Ed and SET? Is it not showing your selfish motive? Taking
in view of such clashes only, with in few days of sanction, our
Government was forced to cancel it too.
Non Vocational Staff
– This is the major group which I had seen favoring merging proposal.
As the process goes successful, they can find more opportunities with
respect to the career, favorable place of work by transfer and
promotions. Further who don’t like to be the part of a respected
department (HSE) rather than being a part of the dead department (As my
friend Rajneesh says). So congratulations to all my Non Vocational Colleagues. Keep up your enthusiasm for successful merger.
The Ministerial Staff
– Except for the clerical staff, who are like the Non vocational staff,
others don’t have any difference in being a part of any department.
They like to be “As is Where is” Condition. They wont have any
difference in any of their roles or duties.
Now aided school staff Vs. Govt. School staff
This
is the greatest Head ache our Government is going to face during
merging. Aided school staffs have their livelihood only by getting
students each year. I think they are not aware that the concept of “We
two we have two” has changed to “We two we have one” and hence the
number of students seeking admission in each year is decreasing. My dear
friends of Aided school management , you may be speaking loud among
public and may be canvassing students saying that VHSE is this VHSE is
that etc etc now tell me how many of your kids are doing or did their
plus two in VHSE? We may be lucky if we get result as 1%. If you are not
willing to take RISK on your student how can you preach before innocent
guardians to send their kids to VHSE. Is it not a way of cheating ? A
point to think about
Any way once employed means employed and
hence our Hon. Government must consider their case sympathetically and
successfully. But my dear friends of aided school management, one
request to you all please don’t come in front of us to resist the
progressive plans put forward by our Government. Remember the saying
“Make Hay while the sun Shines”
Conclusion –
As what I feels it is not wise to resist the plans of Government to
Merge VHSE with HSE. My request to all my LTA friends is that “Muttathu Varunna Mahalakshmiye Tattikalayaruthe…….” Good Luck to all
NB
: Many of our friends wave length may not match with mine in this
concept. Please pardon me for that. Expeting to get a health discussion
and suggestions based on the topic
