UDHAMPUR, Oct 31: Monthly meeting of Jammu Kashmir Teacher/Master Association (JKTMA) was here today under the chairmanship of State President Rakesh Singh to discuss the burning issues of Teachers and Masters, particularly the Circular 10-Edu, dated 21/09/2021, which has created chaotic situation among teaching community.
While speaking on the occasion, Rakesh Singh expressed his resentment against the said order and alleged that the same was issued on 21/09/2021 giving its retrospective effect from 31/12/2021 which cannot be justified as the order should have effect from the date of its publication. He urged LG Manoj Sinha to personally intervene in the matter.
“Many Teachers who are already enrolled in the Distance Courses after 31/12/2020 are denied permission to appear in examination by the concerned authorities which has brewed resentment among the teaching community,” he said and demanded modification in the said order by re-considering the date of 31/12/2021 as 21/09/2021.
Singh also warned against issuing any transfer policy in favour of Grade 2 and Grade 3 Teachers as their engagement is school specific under SSA by the Village Education Committee (VEC) and there transfer will create messy and chaotic situation in the department besides snatching Right to Education from the hilly area students for whom these categories of teachers were engaged at that time under SSA Scheme.
Rakesh Singh also demanded to remove the pay anomaly of Teachers of 2009 batch which was created due to implementation of Seventh Pay commission.
He also demanded to create three cadre of Teachers in the JKUT PRT, TGT and PGT by assigning them classes 1st to 5th and 6th to 10th and 11th to 12th respectively and also revision of grades accordingly as in other Union Territories besides creation of separate Directorates for these three Sections.
Singh raised the issue of Distance mode degrees holders in PG Science stream and appealed to Principal Secretary School Education B K Singh to exclude all such degree holders from the seniority list of PG Teachers of Science.
