The students said that the JBT course qualified candidates to teach students of primary classes up to class V. They were earlier recruited batch wise in Himachal. However, now the government was forcing the JBT course qualified teachers to compete with B.Ed degree holders for recruitment against the posts of teachers which was injustice with the former.
The JBT students said that many states like Delhi, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh were giving preference to JBT qualified teachers for posts of primary school teachers. The Himachal government should also give preference to JBT qualified teachers against posts of primary school teachers over B.Ed degree holders.
