Education system derailing, reformations needed: JKCSF

Excelsior Correspondent
Srinagar, June 28: Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF) has issued a “Call Attention” move on the degradation of the education system in J&K.
JKCSF Chairman, Abdul Qayoom Wani said that sixty percent of zonal education offices were without Zonal Education officers, fifty percent of schools without Principals, and fifty percent of high schools without Headmasters.
“Forty percent of subjects are without lecturers and the extreme situation remains that even contractual appointment has not been done in different streams in school education and higher education,” he said.
Wani said that transfers have been turned into a ‘syndrome’ wherein the new transfer policy is full of flaws with the department violating its norms of mid-session rule of transfers
JKCSF has urged the Government to prioritize the education sector in letter and spirit by relegating its forgotten glory while asking the Government to devise a strategy to assess the work and behavior of officers of education from base to bureaucracy equally.
