Garshankar, March 30 - The Democratic Teachers Front Punjab has demanded to start the transfer process soon and give a chance to teachers with remote stations given at the time of promotion and appointment to teachers in the transfer examination. Issuing a statement in this regard, DTF Joint Secretary Mukesh Kumar and District President Sukhdev Dancewal said that during the promotion process of the lecturer cadre from master to lecturer, the AAP government, which claims to bring a revolution in public education, had forced them to choose remote stations by presenting a few select schools, including the School of Eminence, for station selection. While thousands of lecturer posts were also vacant in the rest of the senior secondary schools of Punjab.
And even now, the opportunity has been given for transfer only in eminence schools, which is a blow to all the teachers who have been transferred. With this decision of the Education Department, where teachers who were waiting for promotion for many years were forced to leave their distant stations, giving preference to some select schools has harmed the education of students in the remaining schools.
Similarly, in the past, even during new appointments, newly appointed teachers have been given stations far from home despite having vacant posts in their native districts. In which the number of women is very high. Due to which those women are forced to keep one of their parents with them.
The leaders demanded that the posts of lecturers in various subjects and those abolished in primary schools be restored and given the opportunity to transfer to vacant stations in all schools.
