SRINAGAR, Aug 28: The Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Joint Action Committee (JKTJAC) today urged the Governor administration to speed up the process for formulation of comprehensive transfer policy in light of Govt order 469 of Edu and to exempt trained teacher from IMPACT.
In a statement issued here by the chief spokesman, Ashiq Rasool said that the teachers who are working against substantive posts are worsley affected due to their stagnation since decades at a single place and demanded the comprehensive transfer policy inlight of said order for the welfare of teaching community and teachers who are already trained should be exempted from IMPACT, because it is total injustice to highly educated and experienced lot of teachers.
He said the teachers are working so hard and diligently in this turbulent time while the whole world is struggling with the epidemic of Coronavirus, the teachers of Jammu and Kashmir have also played their important role against this pandemic and have been doing so continuously. The teachers are not only reaching out to students through online and offline classes, but also volunteering through community classes, which the Principal Secretary himself used to express satisfaction on his Twitter account.
JAC member lamented that teachers in district Ramban were being harassed in the name of deployment/transfer. It should be noted that according to Government directives, some teachers were deployed/transfered in different zones, but unfortunately, today after five years, they are being asked to return to their native places, which is a biased reflection against the same cadre.
He urged the Administration to speed up the process of various pending issues of teachers community for their amicable solution includes, comprehensive transfer policy, inclusion of 5 years of ReT rendered period in service record, exemption of trained trs from IMPACT training program,clearance of pending cases of regularization and conversion of left out RRETs to Teachers Grade- II and Teachers Grade- III, provision of old pension scheme in favour of teachers appointed/regularised after 2010, release of child education allowances (CEA), release of pending arears, clearance of pending time bound cases of various districts and issuance of B-Ed Degree in favour of those teachers who had qualified said examination successfully through IGNOU.
