JAMMU, Apr 25: Plus Two Lecturers’ Forum has urged the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to grant work from home option for teaching community and 50 percent attendance roster for other Government employees.
An emergent meeting of All J&K Plus Two Lecturers’ Forum was held under the chairmanship of its President Deepak Sharma through virtual mode wherein he urged Lt Governor to grant option to Work from Home in respect of whole teaching community including 10+2 Lecturers and fifty percent attendance roster for all other Govt employees of UT of Jammu and Kashmir to break the chain and control the further spread of Corona virus.
Referring to Disaster Management State Executive Committee’s order No 23-JK (DMRRR) of 2021 Dated 24-04-2021 regarding restrictions on COVIDcontainment, Deepak Sharma said that it is appreciable that Government is keeping a close watch and taking appropriate measures and decisions for containment of COVID-19 pandemic but it’s quite strange to call even fifty percent of teachers to educational institutions when these are closed for face to face class work for students. If online classes can be attended by students from their homes, same can be imparted by teachers online from their respective homes, he said.
He further said that the teaching community including Plus Two Lecturers have never shirked away from any assignment given to them and always remained at forefront in shouldering any responsibility assigned by the Government be it during regular or disaster times like Nodal Officers and assistants at various Quarantine Centres and various entry points of travellers, magisterial duties, door to door survey of COVID-19 related cases, vaccination process, election duties or census survey and will always remain at the beck and call of Govt to perform any duty in case of any exigency.
Hailing the LG administration in general and Secretary, School Education Department, BK Singh in particular for regularisation and promotion of incharge Principals and Senior Lecturers respectively and placement of 1700 Senior Lecturers, the Forum further demanded the promotion of CEOs and equivalents and an additional list of Senior Lecturers to maintain one-third quota of Senior Lecturers as per SRO 481 as same has become due, because of regularisation of Principals.
