Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti Jobs for Government Lower Division Clerk in Noida

The Navodaya Vidyalaya System is a unique experiment unparalleled in the annals of school education in India and elsewhere. Its significance lies in the selection of talented rural children as the target group and the attempt to provide them with quality education comparable to the best in a residential school system. Such children are found in all sections of society, and in all areas including the most backward. But, so far, good quality education has been available only to well-to-do sections of society, and the poor have been left out. It was felt that children with special talent or aptitude should be provided opportunities to proceed at a faster pace, by making good quality education available to them, irrespective of their capacity to pay for it.These talented children otherwise would have been deprived of quality modern education traditionally available only in the urban areas. Such education would enable students from rural areas to compete with their urban counterparts on an equal footing. The National Policy on Education-1986 envisaged the setting up of residential schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas that would bring out the best of rural talent.

Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme is a novel scheme to establish pace-setting institutions specifically for the rural children. For achieving its avowed objectives the most important tool available with the Samiti is its human resources in the form of Teachers. It is therefore necessary that the teachers are continuously provided institutional support to increase their professional competence and to make them aware of the latest innovations in the fields of education, curricular reforms and information technology.

Teachers for Navodaya Vidyalayas are recruited through open competition at all India level. In- service training courses for all the teachers are being organised by drawing resources from within and outside NVS system for promotion of professional growth both in terms of content and methodology. These teachers have to undergo at least one 21 day in- service course in every five years not only to get eligibility to be granted senior or selection scales but also to maintain the pace-setting characters of NVS. Apart from these long duration (21 days) in-service training courses, short duration induction, orientation courses, seminars, workshops etc. are also organised as a part of teachers training programme every year.

In order to help the teachers to reach a high level of attainment through innovation and experimentation, training of teachers is an important aspect of teacher skill upgradation. Emphasis is laid on moder educational technology, appropriate inter personal relationship, the right kind of academic environment, value orientation, interaction and participatory approach in teaching-learning process in the Vidyalayas. The Samiti has also taken care of continuous pre-service and in-service training of teachers in collaboration with the Institutes of Higher Learning in the country such as NCERT, NUEPA, RIE, IIPA etc.
