Keeping teachers idle in pupil-less schools amounts to wastage of human resource: Qayoom Wani

Srinagar August 19:(KNS) Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum has taken a dig on the prevailing situation of teaching-learning in J and K that according to the Forum due to the vague decisions of govt has been affecting the education of students badly rather than benefitting them. In a statement issued here JKCSF Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani expressed concern over the prevailing situation emerging out of the different govt orders that govern the teaching-learning process in schools and colleges. JKCSF statement said that one order asks teachers to continue online classes and community classes while as the other day another order rules out the former order asking the teachers to attend the closed-schools on daily basis.

“what is the benefit of a teacher to attend a school that is closed for students by the govt itself in the backdrop of a pandemic, and the pity is that on one hand the authorities have been asking the teachers to continue the community classes and the online classes and to mark the attendance on the departmental LMS portal. Now can it be asked for a logic that when teachers are ordered to attend schools which are closed for students, how come they can take community classes and the online classes respectively. Why do not the authorities streamline this contradiction of sequences” Wani questioned

Referring to the two govt orders with regard to the closure of schools and attendance of teachers one from the Disaster Management issued on August 15 revealing that heads of schools can call their vaccinated staff for administrative purposes and the other order by commissioner secretary Education on August 18 asking teachers to attend the schools on daily basis, JKCSF understands that teachers have been made ‘ soft- ducks’ as to wherever authorities want, the lot could be driven without taking the conflicting prevailing schooling work culture into consideration.

JKCSF vehemently urges upon the stakeholders to shun away the undermining attitude and to let the community classes continue out of schools till the environment of inplace schooling becomes possible in essence. The Forum believes that keeping teachers idle in pupil-less schools amounts to wastage of human resource. (KNS)
