JAMMU, Dec 25: School Education Officers and Employees Co-ordination Committee (SEECC) held a meeting under the chairmanship of Amar Nath Thakur, provincial president, to discuss the move of the State Government to appoint KAS Officers as Joint directors in the Education Department.
Speakers in the meeting strongly criticized the move and appealed Chief Minister Mufti Mohd Sayeed not to consider the recommendations of CSC to appoint eight Joint Directors from KAS cadre. Warning that this move of Government would be counterproductive, they stressed that only well experienced, capable and efficient academicians from the Education Department should be appointed on the post of Joint Directors.
Speakers also appealed the Government to create separate Directorates for Elementary Education to bring efficiency in the department, to improve quality education and pass percentage etc. They said that in the department, 40 percent teaching staff is female teachers adjusted in cities and towns while only male members are posted in far flung and rural areas. Further, most of the male teachers are engaged in performing the duties of BLOs, MDM, enumeration etc at the cost of student studies.
The Speakers opined that the policy of the Government under Right to Education Act is totally against the quality education. The wrong policies of the successive State Government are responsible for this state of affairs and now officers and teachers are blamed for this, which is unjustified and disgraceful act on behalf of the Govt, they added.
Those who spoke in the meeting, included Surjeet Singh, Yog Raj Singh, Ashoni Sharma, Mohan Singh, Bansi Lal, Tara Mani, Romesh Singh, Kuldeep Singh, Surjeet Singh, Parveen Singh and others.
