JAMMU, Nov 23: All Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh Teachers Federation (AJKLTF), under the aegis of Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM) has condemned the false narrative being built over Teachers’ recruitment/Promotion in the J&K UT.
Neeraj Sharma, State Vice President of AJKLTF UT of J&K, expressed strong resentment over false narrative being built and circulated with respect to freezing of fresh recruitments of vacant posts of teachers in UT of J&K. He said that School Education Department is neither taking the service issues of teaching community seriously nor they are bothered about students welfare.
He further said that since Feb 2014 the SED has failed to hold DPC for promotion of Teachers as Masters and as a result a stagnation has been created deliberately in SED. He pointed out that since 2013, around 4000 Masters have been promoted as Lecturers in different disciplines on Own Pay and Grade basis and are working as lecturers since last 10 years but are still occupying the Masters posts and it is yet another factor responsible for deliberate stagnation and mess in SED.
He added that these two factors are largely responsible for freezing the Teachers Recruitment in J&K. He further suggested that the only way to clear this mess is to regularise/confirm all those I/C Lecturers who have been promoted on OPG basis in last 8 years for clearing the vacancies of Masters in J&K .The SED must further immediately fill all the posts of Masters that would be cleared by regularising the I/C Lecturers. Soon after the promotion of Teachers as Masters the J&K SED can advertise fresh recruitments, he added.
Neeraj Sharma appealed to Principal Secretary SED, B K Singh to get this mess/stagnation cleared in a time bound manner as this mismanagement is not only affecting the career progression of teachers but also the class room culture is getting badly affected too.
He further clarified that the teachers jobs haven’t been freezed due to absorption of Grade ll and Grade-lll teachers but due to unnecessarily blocking the process of promotions of all cadres including Masters, Headmasters, ZEPOs ZEOs and Lecturers in SED from last 10 years.
