All Jammu Kashmir & Ladakh Teachers Federation aft. with Akhil Bhartiya Rashtryia Shikshak Mahasangh also hail Hon’able Lt.Governor Manoj Kumar Sinha and Administrative Secretary SED B K Singh for restoring honor and dignity of the teaching community in the state.“We hail efforts of Administrative Secretary SED and Dr R S Sharma Director Jammu for focusing on the academics without playing any politics on the issues pertaining to education department. These decisions will help in improving the quality education. The steps taken by the Education department for improvement in academic side and eradication of corruption are highly commendable”. We highly expresses gratitude to both B K Singh and Dr R S Sharma for initiating speedy disposal of pending issues of teachers community.Now we sought immediate release of DPC which is not held since 2014.
DPC of all cadres in the school Education Department :- As per the figures furnished by the government, thousands posts of teachers, masters and Lecturers are vacant in the department.Moreover there are thousands posts of Grade ll and Grade lll teachers, Headmasters, ZEOs and Principals vacant in the school education department. Keeping this in the interest of the Teachers and students make fresh DPC in the department on regular basis and fill all these vacant posts in the UT without further delay and provisions should be made for PG Teachers/Masters to promote them as lecturers on time bound basis of their services and abolish “ additional inchargism culture” in the department in the interest of the teaching as well as student community in the department.
Transparent/rational transfer policy:-
We hail efforts of Administrative Secretary SED and Dr R S Sharma Director Jammu for recent past transfers of all cadres and welcome the new transfer policy in the department, the present policy yet need modification for its implementation properly.
AJKLTF/ABRSM demands that a transparent/rational transfer policy should be framed and implemented transparently to make the system work efficiently. Lack of proper implementation of present transfer policy created the frustration and confusion among the teachers as well as Grade ll and Grade lll Teachers those who are serving in far flung areas of the UT since long and they have lost all hopes and get frustrated. The pick and choose in recent transfers are made in violation of much talked about transfer policy, where as dedicated but helpless Teachers/Masters and lecturers who are working for so many years in far flung areas miles away from their homes have get frustrated by this policy. Unfortunately the transfer norms never followed properly and there are many loop holes in the existing transfer policy. The wrong implementation of recent transfer policy in some districts has led to the seemingly shortage of teachers at same places and heap up them at many places. It is an admit fact that this irrational distribution of staff is one of the main problem facing the school education department that hinders its growth and efficiency. That for academic excellence the transfer should be made according to the subject need basis. The powers should be given to both Joint Directors and Chief Education Officers at Distt. level in matter of transfers of all cadres Teachers, Masters and Lecturers to reduce the burden from Directorate. Separate provisions for transfer of female teacher must be framed in their favor.
Release of salary of Grade ll and Grade lll
Teachers:
A teacher is being deprived of his salaries for months and then to expect wonders from him is an unfortunate thing. To make provision for the release of salary to Grade ll and Grade lll and NPS Teachers /Masters, government must make a policy regarding their regular salaries.
Creation of new posts at District level: The single post of Chief Education Officers at district level remains over burden with both administrative and academic activities. The creation of additional post of chief education officer in the District will not only reduce the burden but the department will function smoothly. Fill all the vacant posts of masters/lecturers/principles/Zonal Education Officers/Chief Education Officers in the Jammu Kashmir..
Removal of pay anomaly of Master Grades: - The constitution of pay committee to recommend the revised pay structure for the education employees and recommend the various pay anomalies in department and to address them.There is pay anomaly in the pay scales of teachers in the state as per the comprising other states of the country and also not fixed as per the recommendation of the 6th pay Commission in the state of J&K. In implementation of 6th & 7th pay commissions, number of anomalies remained unaddressed such as the junior teachers is getting higher salary than senior teacher. This is very important due to the fact that in the presence of these anomalies, teachers will not get accurate fixation of their salaries. There are several anomalies in pay scales and service conditions of the teachers working in the J&K. Uniform pay scale policy needs to be implemented in the UT on the principle of equal salary of equal work. Fix it as per this-
[1]. Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) Rs. 9,300 – Rs. 34,800 (Basic) plus Rs. 4,600 Grade pay. Revised pay band under 7th pay comm Rs. 29,900 – Rs. 1,04,400 (Basic) along with grade pay of Rs. 13,800
[2]. Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) Rs. 9300-34800 with Grade Pay 4800 Revised pay band under7th pay comm. Rs. 29,900 – Rs. 1,04,400 (Basic) along with grade pay of Rs. 14,400
Lack of Proper Infrastructure:- There are a number of reasons for the low literacy rates in the state, one of which is poor infrastructure in the schools. Most of the schools lack proper infrastructural facilities. The school building lacks doors and windows and even does not have proper sitting, drinking water and toilet facilities. Majority of the Government schools lack basic infrastructure like toilets, washrooms, play grounds, furniture, libraries etc. Poor infrastructure continues to mar the performance of Government schools. Inadequate infrastructure in schools is a big barrier to enrollment and participation. For improving educational standards, there is immediate need to address the lack of adequate infrastructure in schools.
Special provision should be made for the CWSNs [child with special needs]and provision for infrastructure in their favor..
Separate Education commission: Autonomous and independent Regulatory Commission consisting of educationists is established at State level to regulate and control the Education system.
In the past years private institutions have mushroomed. Taking advantage of the weak administrative system and rules innumerable schools have made education a good business of amassing wealth. These Educational institutions have no serious concern for the education and the parents and students are totally distress and helpless. The setting up the educational institutions, their administration, fee structure, decision on curriculum evaluation system etc is either controlled by state Govt or under the controlled of private management.
To save the Education from doom, separate Independent and Autonomous Regulatory Commission consisting of intellectuals are established by the UT Govt. To regulate and control the whole Education system in J&K.
