RAMBAN, Mar 23: The Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shakshik Mahasangh has urged the Government to implement a transparent transfer policy in the Education Department to ensure fairness and efficiency in teacher placements.
During a meeting held in Ramban, Vippan Sharma, president of the Federation’s Ramban district unit, emphasized the urgent need to address various issues affecting the education sector. He demanded the immediate filling of vacancies for both teaching and non-teaching staff in schools across the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir. He also called for the regularization of all cadres within the department at the time of their promotion.
Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shakshik Mahasangh strongly reiterated its demand that teachers should be exempted from extra-academic duties, as previously assured by the Education Department. Members expressed concern that assigning teachers non-teaching tasks hinders the delivery of quality education and disrupts academic schedules.
The meeting alleged failure of the J&K Government to implement its own transfer policy, thus adversely impacting the academic environment in schools. Speakers argued that the lack of a fair transfer mechanism results in unnecessary delays, hardships for teachers, and academic disruptions for students.
Another key issue raised in the meeting was the infrastructure crisis in educational institutions. Stating that many schools lack basic facilities, proper classrooms, and essential teaching aids, the Federation urged the Government to take concrete steps toward improving school infrastructure and ensuring that all institutions are well-equipped to provide quality education. The Federation also stressed that delays in regularization create uncertainty and discourage skilled individuals from joining the education sector.
Shakshik Mahasangh urged the Education Department to address these pressing issues without delay. It called for immediate implementation of a transparent transfer policy, filling up of vacant teaching and non-teaching posts, exemption of teachers from extra-academic duties, infrastructure improvement in schools, especially in remote areas and regularization of all cadres at the time of promotion to provide job security.
The federation warned that if these demands are not met, it may resort to peaceful protests for ensuring justice for teachers and students alike.
