Mid session Transfer of Lecturers Not Fair On Students
BY: MOOL RAJ
I am not a think tank but simply a person working as Lecture in the discipline of Environmental Science at Govt Higher Secondary School Khellani Doda Jammu and Kashmir
Through your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of our state government towards the transfer of Govt. Lecturer during the mid season of Academic course of the students.
Transfer of a government employee is the part of his service, so from bureaucrats to fourth class government employees, occasionally, every body tastes this cup of tea.
We all know since last few months transfer of lecturer have been taking place. Lecturers have been posted so that the schools of interior regions get Lecturers in their respective schools. It is on one hand a very good initiative as there are less number of Lecturers in remote areas.
The process for rationalization the transfer and posting of Lecturers in the state is likely to be completed by mid September.
But my point here is that the process which was to be completed by the end of September is still going on between the mid-sessions.
I am a Lecturer and I am also facing problems like many others too. I don’t say this is wrong to transfer any Lectures as it is norms of the government but why between the middle of the session when the students are preparing for the boards exams. If any Lecturer had to be transferred he or she should have been transferred before the session started or at end of the board exams.
Today the cause for writing this article is mid-session transfer of our Lecturers in the mid session created problem that all students community are facing as the students have just few months for board and the students have to adjust to a new teacher.
I personally think that if the Lecturers of Class XII would be transferred during the mid-session then surely it would affect students result. Every year govt. schools underperform in board exams.
And now, how they can expect from the students to do well? Not all can afford pricey school/tuition fees to cope with this problem. This is now a major problem as mid session transfer is hampering the board classes and moreover the students goals too.
After few months the students will have to appear in their board exams and then entrances and now in the middle of it, this is a new pressure on the shoulders of the voice less students community.
There are thousands of questions in the students mind; why transfer in the mid-session? Why a new Lecturer for the board preparing students? Is something wrong with the system? Why such a decision? Will it be fair for with the students future?
I hope this message of mine reach our Honorable Commissioner Sectary of Education Department Jammu and Kashmir. If possible, please help students in this case as each and every one students wants their Lecturers to stay. It is not too late. There is still time for you to correct this.
Next When an employee works in the same department for years, he/she gain in-depth knowledge of its processes and policies. However, sudden transfers to another department/distant locations can disrupt their performance as they need time to adapt. Similarly, when large numbers of teaching faculty or other employees are transferred far away, they might look for ways to return to their preferred locations, different type of approaches applications etc impose unnecessary overburden of workload on department. Therefore, transfers should be carefully considered and only done when there is a valid reason, such as performance issues or lack of commitment to duties. Unnecessary transfers disrupt efficiency of employees. If there are some locations where no one wants to be transferred then tenure of two year posting in those locations should be considered for each employee after promotion.
The transfers employee avail all kinds of leaves whatever due to them, you must have seen some employees avail almost all the earned leave due to them while others do not avail such leave in their entire service.Last but not I would like to request Commissioner Sectary to School Education Department Jammu and Kashmir to delay the transfer of Lecturers keeping in view the ongoing Academic Session of the students and same transfer policy should be brought into work after the end board exams on most humanitarian ground.
