| Plus 2 Lecturers' Forum demand work from home option for teachers | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Apr 25: A meeting of All J&K Plus Two Lecturers' Forum was held under the chairmanship of its President Deepak Sharma through virtual mode wherein he urged Lt Governor J&K, Manoj Sinha to grant option to work from home in respect of whole teaching community including 10+2 lecturers and fifty percent attendance roster for all other govt employees of UT of Jammu and Kashmir to break the chain and control the further spread of Coronavirus.
Referring to Disaster Management State Executive Committee's order No 23-JK(DMRRR) of 2021 Dated 24-04-2021 regarding restrictions on Covid containment, Deepak Sharma said that it is appreciable that government is keeping a close watch and taking appropriate measures and decisions for containment of Covid-19 pandemic but it's quite strange to call even fifty percent of teachers to educational institutions when these are closed for face to face class work for students. If online classes can be attended by students from their homes, the same can be imparted by teachers online from their respective homes.
He urged LG to grant the option to work from home to the whole teaching community and 50 percent attendance in favour of all other government employees of J&K.
"The virus is spreading rapidly as of now. Under such circumstances, teachers should not be asked to risk their lives by physically attending school as all work can be taken care of from home," he said.
He further added that the teachers are putting even their family members’ lives at risk by going to school, at such a time.
Meanwhile, Forum hailed the LG administration in general and Secretary, School Education Department BK Singh in particular for regularization and promotion of incharge Principals and senior Lecturers respectively and placement of 1700 senior lecturers.
And further demanded the promotion of CEOs and equivalents and an additional list of senior Lecturers to maintain one-third quota of senior Lecturers as per SRO 481 as same has become due, because of regularisation of principals.
Forum also stressed upon the government to expedite the process of sanction of ACP / Time Bound Promotion in favour of Plus Two Lecturers and regularization of all incharge lectures to streamline the department and address the other pending issues on priority. |
