JAMMU, Apr 4: Deputy Chief Minister, who is also Minister In-charge School Education Department Tara Chand today said the Government is contemplating to draft a new Education Policy for further improving the education scenario in the State on modern lines.
“Despite presence of highly qualified teachers in the Government schools, results are not as we would like them to be. Steps have already been initiated to fix accountability for poor performance,” Mr Tara Chand said while replying to a discussion raised by Gulam Nabi Monga regarding poor performance of Government Schools in the Legislative Council here.
The Minister said, orders have been issued to detach all attachments and rationalisation of staff and teachers in schools is being carried out adding, “promotions recently effected in the school education department will be continued further and by end of this month all available vacant posts that can be filled through promotions will be done.”
“As many as 8000 posts in different categories have been referred to PSC and SSRB with directions for early recruitment so that requisite staff is made available in all schools across the State,” he added.
