Education Dept flayed for changing promotion norms

Nawanshahr, February 2
The Government Teachers’ Union (GTU) has hit out at the Punjab Education Department for adopting double standards with regard to the promotion of teachers.

“The Department has issued show-cause notices to the newly promoted lecturers after it prepared a rehashed subject-wise seniority list, while it has promoted masters to headmasters on the basis of cadre-based seniority list,” union president Prem Rakker said.


Instead of harassing the lecturers by stripping them of their promotion, the state government should conduct an inquiry to nail officials responsible for discrepancies in the seniority lists of different cadres, the GTU delegation said.

“The Department has complicated the procedure of preparing seniority lists by frequently changing the criteria. As a result, litigation over seniority and promotions is piling,” Rakker added.
