Following the several complaints filed by the various village panchayats regarding shortage of staff in government schools, the Education Department has decided to introduce a
‘cluster system’ under which the principals of government schools would be given the powers to rationalise the teaching staff as per the requirement of the schools falling under their respective clusters.
Under it, the principals of the government senior secondary schools would be notified as ‘cluster incharges’. Orders regarding the same have been issued to all school heads across the state by the office of Secretary School Education, Krishan Kumar on Wednesday.
There are several schools in Punjab which are either single teacher schools or having couple of teachers only. Also some schools have surplus staff too and such staff can be sent to teacher-deficit schools to rationalise the students- teacher ratio. There are several districts where even the Education Department has to work with just 60 to 70 per cent staff only.
