JAMMU, Oct 28: President of J&K Teacher’s Welfare Association, Jasmeet Singh Madaan has strongly resented the Government order banning tuitions by Teacher’s/Master’s/ Lecturer’s etc.
“Government on the one hand is not providing salaries in time to the employees, particularly of Education Department and those who have availed different kind of loans have to pay cheque bouncing charges plus additional interest because of this. If a Teacher goes for tuitions after or before one hour of school timing, what is the harm in it?” asked Jasmeet Singh, in a statement, issued here today.
He added that the teachers do sheer hard work and disseminate their knowledge among students by charging a nominal amount. “If the doctors can do practice and also avail NPA, there is nobody to stop them, they even go for private checkups during their duty times. By imposing ban on tuitions, Govt has given a silent go-ahead to the looting spree by the Private Tutorials which are earning crores and crores per year with no check on their fees structure, ” he alleged.
Mr Jasmeet appealed the Government to rescind this order immediately and stop enforcing unnecessary directives on the already depressed teacher community, which has been facing financial crunch because of the inordinate delay in salaries and sky-rocketing prices of essential commodities.
“It seems that the Government, instead of streaming the financial crisis, is unnecessarily pinpointing the Education Department by daily issuing orders aimed at harassing the teaching community. Our ReTs /Masters are without salaries for months together, strict ban on examination duty by ReTs, no regularization process of ReTs despite their period of probation is completed, unnecessary delay in verification process are some of the issues which Govt should solve instead of issuing orders of irrelevance nature,” he stressed.
