JAMMU, Apr 2: All Jammu Kashmir & Ladakh Teachers Federation (affiliated to Akhil Bhartiya Rashtryia Shikshak Mahasangh) has demanded filling up vacant posts of CEOs, ZEOs and Principals in the School Education Department.
In a statement, President of the Federation, Devraj Thakur said that over 13 posts of CEOs, hundreds of posts of Principals, ZEOs, Lecturers and Masters/Teachers are lying vacant and severely affecting administrative activity in the School Education Department.
While elaborating, he said that as per the figures furnished by the Government previously, around 3878 posts of Teachers, 3326 posts of Masters and 2042 posts of Lecturers are vacant in the department. Also there are 3026 posts of ReT teachers, 156 posts of Headmasters, hundred posts of ZEOs and Principals are vacant in the School Education Department, he added.
“Keeping this in the interest of the Teachers and students, make fresh DPC in the department on regular basis and fill all these vacant posts in the State without further delay and provisions should be made for PG Teachers/Masters to promote them as Lecturers on time bound basis of their services and abolish “additional charges culture” in the department in the interest of the teaching as well as student community in the department,” said the AJKLTF in appeal to the Administrative Secretary School Education Department, B K Singh.
The Federation suggested creation of an additional post of CEO at district level to reduce the burden and for smooth functioning of the department activities. It also requested Administrative Secretary Education to conduct district level Darbar for Teaching community so that their issues be dealt on time at their district level and they are not forced to visit Directorate of School Education Jammu for small works.
Alleging that wrong implementation of transfer policy led to the seemingly shortage of teachers at the same places and surplus at other places, the Federation suggested that the power of transfers should be given to both Joint Directors and Chief Education Officers at District level.
