Striking lecturers and principals have questioned the government on how it could bring accountability for private college lecturers, who are being roped in for evaluation.
“The government penalises us with a fine, cuts increment and even bars us from evaluation for three consecutive years if there is any error from our end and if mistakes are spotted during re-evaluation. But expecting the same accountability from private lecturers will be a problem,” a government lecturer said.
However, the only problem with using private lecturers is that the department cannot initiate any action against them, in case they commit a mistake during evaluation.
A department official said they could write to the college management recommending action against the private college evaluators.
