UDHAMPUR, Mar 8: Jammu and Kashmir ReT Teachers Forum held its monthly meeting here today under the chairmanship of its Senior Vice Chairman Bhupinder Singh and held threadbare discussion on the issues of teaching community in general and particularly on the issues of Grade II, Grade IIl and left out RRets.
While Speaking on the occasion, Bhupinder Singh alleged that Education Department was trying to harass the Grade II and Grade III Teachers on the name of IMPACT training even as the process of B Ed as well as D Ed for these graduate and undergraduate teachers was already started.
Singh pointed out that after conversion in Grade II and Grade IIl Teachers, all these teachers lose their status of ReTs and they are as good as General Line teachers, who should fall in the transfer Policy of Education Department. Hundreds of female Grade II and Grade III Teachers were appointed in their concerned villages as ReT but after marriage in other villages, Blocks, Tehsils and even in District, these female teachers are still waiting for their transfers on marriage grounds,” he said.
Singh also said that higher authorities of Education Department must rationlise the teaching staff with the teacher-student ratio as it is need of time to provide better quality education in far-flung areas particularly. “So many Primary and Middle Schools were upgraded but still maximum posts of Teachers /Masters are lying vacant in these upgraded schools, particularly in rural areas as a result students of these schools are suffering badly and concerned authorities are not serious to fill these posts,” he added.
Singh also appealed Director School Education Jammu and Director School Education Kashmir to regularise the services of all left out ReTs and convert them to Grade II and Grade IIl teachers within days and also release the pending salary arreras of Grade ll and Grade IIl Teachers.
The meeting was attended by Kuldeep Katoch, Manmohan Singh, Sudesh Kumar, Sunil Salaria, Surjeet Singh, Sanjeev Guleria, Surinder Khajuria, Varinder Partap, Parbhat Singh, Summit Khajuria, Bharat Bhushan, Anchal Singh, Surjeet, Gopal Singh and others.
