UDHAMPUR, Nov 28: A monthly meeting of Jammu Kashmir General Line Teachers Forum was held here today under the chairmanship of State general secretary Rakesh Singh to discuss the burning issues of Genera Line Teachers .
The meet justified revocation of the suspension of the Deputy Chief Education Officer of Kishtwar and said that it is within the jurisdiction of the concerned higher education officers to utilize the services of the teachers wherever they deem necessary for the smooth functioning of the schools as per the guidelines of the SSA scheme and the Right to Education Act.
While addressing the Forum members, Rakesh Singh said that the Government order number 469 is totally against the spirit and basic objective of the SSA scheme. “The selection criteria and the mechanism of distribution of salary of General Line Teachers and ReT teachers is entirely different and due to this, there is need to separate the two posts in term of transfer to prevent the chaos and confusion in the Education Department,” he explained.
