Lecturers' union oppose selection of new heads
Mandi Ahmedgarh, November 26 Office-bearers of the Government School Lecturer Union, led by Mr Bhupinder Singh Bath, president Malerkotla, said that making fresh appointments of heads of elementary and senior secondary schools before finalizing pending promotion cases of the master and lecturer cadres would cause frustration among senior teachers who would feel disgraced working under heads much younger and junior to them. “Though we are not against making fresh appointments, further delay in the finalization of promotion lists in the office of the Education Secretary would embarrass hundreds of those teachers and lecturers whose promotion was long pending,” said Mr Bath and Mr Narang Singh, Secretary of the union, adding that more than 80 per cent schools were running without heads. Mr Hardyal Singh, a DPE at Government High School, Chhappar, alleged that a section of bureaucrats was deliberately delaying the promotion of hundreds of masters as they wanted to benefit fresh appointees by giving them their choice places of postings. “In case they succeed in their designs, senior teachers having experience of more than 30 years would be required to work under fresh appointees,” he said. Ms Asha Devi, acting Head of Chhapar School, an appointee of 1974, urged the authorities to save the esteem of veteran teachers by finalizing promotions of head masters before announcing final list of fresh appointments. “This will save us from being transferred to far off stations”, said Ms Asha Gupta.
