UP’s primary teachers to get corporate appraisal system

Lucknow, Jan 13 : The basic education department Uttar Pradesh has decided to introduce a system of ‘corporate appraisal’ for teachers and principals in primary schools.
Teachers will now have to ‘earn’ points for promotion in job or increment in salary.
According to the government spokesman, the basic education department has asked teachers and head teachers to fill in a self-evaluation form based on nine parameters on the Manav Sampada portal latest by April 15.
While seven performance indicators are common for teachers and school heads, two are different.
In the self-assessment form, head teachers will have to provide information on upgrade of infrastructure and facilities provided in the school under Operation Kayakalp scheme.
If all 14 basic facilities curated by the chief minister’s team are in the school, the head teacher will be awarded 10 points. In the absence of a single facility, the head teacher will get no point. Head teachers will also be marked on whether they have made available report cards to the students. If all students have got report cards, 10 points will be given to head teachers.
