| Publicity stunt: Education Deptt issues third circular to detach teachers | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 10: Jammu and Kashmir government has once issued an official order for the detachment of teachers who have been deployed in different government departments for administrative works.
Issuing detachment orders of teachers has become a routine exercise in the Education Department but those at the helm of affairs have failed to detach influential teachers who have been serving in schools located in the city and adjoining localities.
Today’s circular is not the only official order to end attachment culture in the department.
Earlier in April, a circular was issued by the Directorate of School Education regarding the attachment of teachers in violation of orders of the J&K government.
“It has been observed that Joint Directors, Chief Education Officers and Zonal Education Officers of Jammu Division in violation of Government instructions/orders deploy/attach teaching staff in different offices without approval from the competent authority which creates administrative indiscipline in the department”, the circular reads.
“It is accordingly enjoined upon all the Joint Directors, Chief Education Officers, and Zonal Education Officers of School Education Department not to effect any deployment/attachment of any teacher/Master (teaching staff) at their level within their Districts /Zones. However, if any exigency arises, all such cases of deployment/attachments wherever required shall be forwarded to this office for prior approval”, the circular stated.
Higher-ups in Education Department are very much aware that several influential teachers have managed to themselves attached to city’s schools which are already over-staffed.
“Higher-ups in the Education Department lack guts to detach those influential teachers. Orders of detachment issued after a repeated interval are nothing but to befool teachers who have been serving in the far-flung areas for years together”, a source in the Education Department said and added that higher-ups in the department were very much aware of the credentials of influential teachers attached in city’s schools since long but no action has been taken against them.
As reported earlier by this newspaper, the attachment of influential teachers in approachable schools is going unabated.
Students of most of the schools in rural and far-flung areas are suffering due to the non-availability of teaching staff. Some influential teachers, who were transferred in the rural areas, have managed attachments in city’s schools which already are over-staff. |
