The city government and MCD on Monday assured the Delhi high court that specially-trained teachers would be appointed for differently-abled children in all primary schools saying they are already being recruited.

The government counsel told Justice Indermeet Kaur that Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board has advertised for recruitment of 858 special educators to teach differently-abled children in its schools.
The board has fixed October 24 as the date for start of receiving applications and November 17 as last date for filing them.
The MCD counsel too told the court that the civic body also has decided to recruit 1,790 special educators for its schools and the requisition for the same would soon be sent to DSSSB after considering the UPSC’s draft recruitment rules.
The UPSC said it has already sent the recruitment rules to MCD.
To this submission, the court directed MCD to comply with its previous order for appointing teachers for differently-abled children and sought compliance report of its order by January 23, 2012.
The court issued the direction while hearing a plea to launch contempt of court proceedings against Delhi government and MCD officials for defying the court’s 2009 order for recruiting special teachers for differently-abled teachers. — PTI
