Srinagar, March 10: Following the orders of repatriation of all teaching staff deployed or attached for administrative works, the government has directed the District Vigilance Officers to personally monitor the implementation of the government orders for strict compliance.
DSEK had earlier issued orders on 22nd February last month directing all teaching staff deployed or attached for administrative works in different offices or departments to return to schools with immediate effect. However reports suggest that such orders issued from time to time are not implemented on ground following which a fresh directive was issued.
“In continuation to this office order dated 22/02/2025, it is hereby ordered that District Vigilance Officers/Additional District Vigilance Officers shall personally monitor the implementation of instructions regarding repatriation of all teaching staff deployed or attached for administrative works in different offices or departments and non-teaching staff working outside parent departments,” reads the order by DSEK
The DVOs have been asked to submit compliance reports in respect of officials belonging to their respective districts on the devised format to DSEK not later than 15th of March.
The order mandates that all attached teachers return to their original places of posting, reinforcing the need for educators to focus on classroom teaching rather than administrative tasks.
In Bandipora district, multiple Cultural Coordinators are reportedly working in offices instead of schools, allegedly with the approval of Zonal Education Officers (ZEOs). The District Cultural Coordinator remains stationed at the CEO’s office, despite the detachment order.
Official sources said while the directive applies to all teaching and non-teaching staff, it does not explicitly mention Cultural Coordinators, raising concerns over loopholes in enforcement.
With Vigilance Officers actively monitoring the situation, Locals are hopeful that the Education Department will take swift action to ensure full compliance and prevent further misuse of teacher attachments.
