UDHAMPUR, Apr 18: All J&K Plus 2 Lecturers’ Forum held a meeting under the chairmanship of its district president Ashok Sharma.
In the meeting, the participants expressed concern and resentment over the Government order under which eight newly created posts of Joint Director School Education have been allotted to the KAS Cadre.
They demanded that the Directors and Joint Directors of School Education Department must be appointed by elevating the officers of the Education Department on the pattern of other departments.
The speakers said that this step will fail to attract the bright minds to this Department leading to the deterioration of education system.
They urged the Government to order rollback of the said order and continue the practice of appointing the Joint Directors by promotion of CEOs and equivalents and thus enhance promotional avenues for the officers of School Education Department who are fully competent, experienced and capable to run the Department properly and efficiently.
The participants also expressed resentment over the advertisement under which the new lecturers will have to work on minimum basic pay in zone III for a period of five years but no such condition has been fixed for the recruitment of doctors. They demanded immediate withdrawal of unwarranted conditions in the said order.
The speakers also urged the Government to speed up the process of regularisation of incharge incumbents of the Department, which was initiated in May 2015 especially of the dropout incharge lecturers in the light of recent order of the DSEJ and review of the transfer orders of hard hit Principals and lecturers.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Sharma demanded benefit of running pattern, supply of question papers of BOSE Exam at the Examination Centres, restoration of 40 per cent promotional quota, enhancement of grade pay of Principals, upgradation of the post of Lecturer in Physical Education and enhancement in remuneration of supervisory duties in BOSE Exams.
Among others present were Ram Murti, Joginder Gupta, Luxmi Kant, Ravi Kanchan, Bhim Sein, Bishan Sharma, Hans Raj, Jatinder Sharma, Mohan Lal Sharma, Vinod Kumar, etc.
