J&K Minister Javed Rana Addresses Teacher Transfer Irregularities with Education Minister Sakina Itoo

Minister Javed Rana has raised serious concerns about alleged irregularities in the transfer of teachers by the Chief Education Officer (CEO). The issue was brought to the attention of Education Minister Sakina Itoo, highlighting the need for transparency and fairness in the transfer process.

transfer of teachers is a routine process to ensure schools across J&K have adequate staff and resources. However, recent reports suggest that some transfers managed by the CEO have not followed proper guidelines. There are allegations of favoritism, lack of merit-based decisions, and transfers that have caused inconvenience to teachers, especially those posted far from their home districts. These issues have sparked frustration among educators and raised questions about the fairness of the system.

Minister Javed Rana, representing the concerns of many in the education community, has taken up the matter with Education Minister Sakina Itoo. He has called for a thorough review of the transfer process to address these irregularities and ensure that teachers are treated fairly.

Teachers play a vital role in shaping the future of students in J&K. Unfair or poorly planned transfers can disrupt their ability to teach effectively, affecting both their morale and the quality of education in schools. For example, some teachers, especially female educators, have been posted 50-70 kilometers away from their home districts, making it difficult for them to balance work and personal responsibilities. Such decisions not only demotivate teachers but also impact students’ learning outcomes.
