*Gross violation of Norms* by Chief Education officer Doda.
Favouritism, Nepotism on the name of Rationalization of teaching staff in District Doda
BY ABID PAMPORI
Doda::Social activsit Mr. IFroaz Ahmed showed serious concern over the mismanagement, misappropriation and corruption in Education Department Doda.
As per the Govt. order No. 2173 (Edu) of 2022 dated 01.12.2022 the school complexes/ clusters were formulated in the UT of J&K for smooth functioning of schools and effective sharing of resources and for the implementation of school complexes / clusters in Jammu and kashmir UT & the guidelines for the implementation of same were also issued by Director school Education Jammu and it was ordered that as per the above order senior most principal of the cluster/complexes were designated as Cluster /complex heads for smooth sharing of resources as the responsibilities of shifting / rationalising a teachers at inter cluster and inter zonal level with the district Doda were also granted to rsepective joint Director and Director.
These orders were violated in the broad day light in District Doda by none other then Chief Education office Doda, while doing rationalization of teachers in District Doda.
All such orders were issued in education zone Assar, Bhagwah, Ghat, Bhaderwah, and Doda etc
Keeping aside all the norms Chief Education Officer Doda shifted /transferred teachers on mutual basis and rationalize the teachers even from one Education zone to another Education zone i e even some trs have been transfered more then 100 kms from his/her actual place of posting on the name of rationalisation like from Zone Bhalessa to (Marmat)Zone Assar by crossing 5 education zones ,UPS Shiva Zone Ghat to HS Jagota zone Thathri, From Zone Bhaderwah to HSS Dessa Zone Bhagwah etc.
All this was done for giving benefit to some blue eyed teachers and on behalf of them, they make some other teachers suffer a lot.
Its pertinent to mention here that no (PTR) pupil teacher ratio has been taken into consideration by doing this so called rationalization in which teachers have been shifted out of zone and schools are still suffering due to shortage of staff like UPS Gurmul in zone Bhagwah where only two teachers are left for 187 student and there are number of such examples like HSS Mallan , HSS Shadiwan, UPS Haddal. It seems that CEO Doda has effected rationalization purely in the interest of Teacher instead of taking interest of stundent into consideration, some orders were issued after doing tempering due to the reasons best known to issuing authorities only.
Talking to media persons some Complex heads categorically said that no consultation was done with them before effecting rationalization with in their cluster.
Mr. Ifroz Ahmed social activist Doda sad that he has a number of orders in his position as a proof of nepotism, favouritism to blue eyed candidates who have been mutually transferred and some others who have been transferred out of zone on the name of rationalization.
A female teacher (RRET) has been shifted from Zone Bhalessa to Zone Asssar by crossing 5 education zones Near about half dozen teachers has been shifted from Zone Ghat to Zone Thathri & zone Gundna.
A general line teacher has been shifted from Zone Bhaderwah to HSS Dessa Zone Bhagwah.
In addition to this hundreds of teaches have been transferred /shifted on reciprocal basis in Zone Bhagwah,Assar, Ghat and Doda.
On the behalf of public of Doda Ifroz Ahmed Youth Activist demanded an in-depth enquiry into the this of this bungling in already ailing Education department Doda ,to safeguard the image of the Education Department and trust of the public on the Govt. Institution and functioning of administration.
