JAMMU, June 18: Jammu Kashmir Teacher’s/Masters Association (JKTMA) today held its monthly meeting in Jammu under the chairmanship of UT president and Trade Union leader Rakesh Singh Chambial.
The meeting held threadbare discussion over the burning issues of Teachers with emphasis on ATD-2023 and DPC of Teachers/Masters.
Singh expressed strong resentment against the higher authorities for not releasing the adjustment list of recently elevated Master grades and urged the Director School Education Jammu to release the same at the earliest in the interest of students and also initiate the process to promote and adjust other batch of Master grades by elevating them as full fledge Master grades instead of I/C Master .
While inviting attention towards DPC of Teachers/Masters to Lecturers, Singh reiterated the demand to Principal Secretary Alok Kumar to release the DPC lists in various disciplines, particularly in Science stream at the earliest as almost 50 percent Higher Secondary schools, especially in rural areas have vacant posts of Lecturers. He made a strong appeal to Principal Secretary for excluding all the candidates with Distance mode degrees in Science stream as these degrees are not valid.
Association urged to release list of ATD-2023 at the earliest and transfer all Zone I Teachers/Masters to ZONE 4 strictly as this is necessary to balance PTR ratio and provide staff to rural schools.
Singh urged Lieutenant Governor to enhance the Pay grades of JKUT teachers at par with other UT counterparts and also make B.Ed compulsory educational qualification for recruitment of Teachers.
Other demands raised by the association, include regularization of all SSA head Teacher’s posts so that they can draw salary from their own posts, vacate all court cases of Teachers on attachment and Transfer related issues, introduce new subjects in Higher Secondries, sanction Lecturers posts in Hanging Higher secondaries.
