Lecturers’ Forum demands filling up of all Adminstrative vacant posts of School Education department
Jammu : June 01 . An emergent meeting of All J&K Plus Two Lecturers’ Forum was held through teleconferencing under the chairmanship of its president Deepak Sharma wherein the forum demanded filling up of all Adminstrative posts lying vacant in School Education Department immediately for the smooth functioning of Department as number of posts of Joint Directors including that of Principal SIE Jammu as well as SIE Kashmir, CEOs, DIET Principals and Principals of Higher Secondary Schools are lying vacant in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir.
Deepak Sharma said that Forum is happy that sixty new promotee principals have been placed by the Adminstrative deptt but still about more than 150 Higher secondary schools are lying headless due to which implementation of various initiatives taken by the department in the interest of students amid Covid-19 is not hassle-free. He further added that in most of the cases, a single Principal is holding the charge of a number of schools and thus finding it difficult to do justice especially due to prevailing Lock Down. The forum demanded immediate filling up of all the vacant posts of Principals strictly according to the UT level seniority of Senior Lecturers even on look- after basis along with DDO Powers as per the seniority list available vide Govt Order No 1074 of Education 2013 Dated 30-12-2013 and updated seniority vide Govt OrderNo 126 Edu of 2020 Dated 26-5-2020. Forum demanded that promotees should be adjusted preferably in their respective Division and leftovers may be posted in other division as per seniority as lecturer and above being state cadre posts.
Forum further hoped that practical shape will soon be given to Running Grade/ Tme Bound Promotion and Induction Quota into KAS in favour of Plus Two Lecturers as promised by Honest and dynamic Principal Secretary Dr Asgar Hassan Samoon and Regularisation orders of all incharge incumbents/ retirees will also be issued at the earliest and other demands like Non vacational status to Principals/ Head of Schools, 40% college quota, revocation of SRO -202 , placement of lecturers as senior lecturers and Regularisation of physical education lecturers and removal of their pay anomaly will also be acceded to on priority.
