BANIHAL, Sept 23: National Conference (NC) District Ramban president, Sajjad Shaheen has expressed serious concern over the shortage of teaching staff in Government schools of Ramban particularly in Banihal area.
In a handout he said that government schools in entire Ramban are grappling with the problem of shortage of teachers, with schools in rural areas bearing the maximum brunt of staff crunch.
“There is more than 30 per cent shortage of staff in Government schools in rural areas of the district,” he said quoting reports.
Shaheen has accused the Education Department of lackadaisical approach in filling the vacant posts.
“Gravity of the situation can be understood from the fact that Government HSS (Boys) Banihal has only 9 teachers out of 16 sanctioned posts and six lecturers have been recently transferred without providing any substitute,” he maintained adding that HSS Tethar, HSS (Girls) Banihal, HSS Khari, HSS Mahoo, HSS Neel, HSS Ukharhal etc are also facing the same problem.
The NC leader also claimed that even the Degree College Banihal is functioning without a permanent Principal.
He urged upon the Director School Education and CEO Ramban to fill up all the vacant posts in the schools of the district.
