JAMMU, Nov 1: All J&K +2 Lecturers’ Forum has demanded filling up of all Adminstrative posts lying vacant in School Education Department (SED).
Chairing a virtual meeting of the Forum, its president Deepak Sharma said that a number of posts of Joint Directors and equivalents, DIET Principals, CEOs and equivalents and Principals of Higher Secondary Schools are lying vacant in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and for smooth functioning of the SED, it is imperative to fill-up all these posts on priority.
Sharma said that about 250 higher secondary schools are lying headless due to which implementation of various initiatives taken by the department in the interest of students amid COVID-19 is not hassle-free. He further added that in most of the cases, a single Principal is holding the charge of a number of schools and Zones as ZEOs as well, thus finding it difficult to do justice especially amid prevailing circumstances.
The Forum demanded immediate filling up of all the vacant posts of +2 Principals strictly according to the UT level seniority of Senior Lecturers even on look-after basis along with DDO Powers as per the seniority list available. The Forum also demanded promotion of CEOs and equivalents and immediate adjustment of already promoted Joint Directors for effective functioning of School Education Department.
Others who participated in the virtual meeting were NS Jamwal, RS Slathia, Dr Sushma, Anil Sharma, Anwar Khan, Sanjay Bhagat, Pradeep Singh, Ashok Sharma, Jatinder Sethi, Fazal Hussain, Anis Ahmed, Imtiaz Kazmi and AR Giri.
