Abolition of posts of teacher decried

Tarn Taran , March 2

The district unit of the BEd Teachers’ Front, Punjab, in its meeting held here on Tuesday condemned the move of the Secretary, Education, Punjab, abolishing hundreds of teacher posts under the name of transfers.

Prabhjot Singh, district president of the organisation, presided over the meeting while Dinesh Sharma, Amandeep Singh Bhullar, Gurpreet Singh Chheena were among the others who addressed the meeting. The speakers said that on the orders of the Secretary Education, 228 posts of PTI teachers from Government Middle Schools across the state had been shifted to the Block Elementary Education Offices while abolishing these from the schools. The leader said that there were hundreds of other vacant posts which were not shown as vacant in the departmental portal, hence these are meant to be abolished.

The speakers said that the organisation would not bear the viciousness of the authority and had chalked out agitation programme to face the challenge of the secretary. — OC
