A few thousand people are not as Important as the country’s future: Calcutta high court on school jobs scam

The Calcutta HC raised serious concerns by hearing petitions on alleged irregularities in Bengal teacher appointments.

The bench observed how the country’s future is bigger than a few thousand jobs given irregularly.

It said one rotten apple can spoil the whole bunch, hinting that such cases undermine fair selection processes.

Representing alleged irregular appointees, a lawyer claimed the WBSSC report couldn’t cancel jobs given 5 years ago.

However, the HC noted over 20 lakh aspirants competed fairly, expecting transparency in teacher recruitment.

After hearing all parties on the SSC’s 2016 recruitment of 9-12 teachers, it will take an appropriate call.

The Supreme Court had directed the HC division bench to oversee appeals on the high-profile teacher job case.

The case highlights the need for robust recruitment systems to ensure deserving candidates get opportunities through merit.
