DB seeks status of infra in schools

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 8: In a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by All Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh Teacher Federation seeking direction to State for framing policy for maintaining student-teacher ratio in the schools without any discrimination, Division Bench of State High Court comprising Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Sanjay Kumar Gupta today directed the State to implement order dated July 24, 2018 whereby report with regard to status of infrastructure in the schools was sought.
In the PIL, it has been submitted that transfers of the teachers are being made casually by the Head of the Department as a result of which schools having a meagre strength of children get teachers whose number exceed the children.
On the other hand, the schools which are situated at a far off distance remained deprived of adequate number of teachers with the result the next generation remains deprived of its Right to Education merely because of vested interest of some of the officers.
