CDGK teachers waiting for promotion since 2005
Karachi: Promotion of several hundreds schoolteachers working under the
administrative control of the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) has been
pending since 2005 and the officials concerned seemed to have shelved their
cases for unknown reasons. Inquiries made in this regard showed that
more than 500 junior schoolteachers (JSTs) and high schoolteachers (JSTs) had
been promoted to their next higher grades by the city government's human
resource department on the orders of the then district officer, Tauseef Zafar,
in 2005. However, the orders were kept in abeyance by the then city
nazim, Niamatullah Khan, after receiving complaints that some of these teachers
were not entitled to a promotion and had managed to get their names included in
the merit list either on political grounds or by using unfair means.
Sources in the CDGK education department said that more than four years
had elapsed since the promotion was granted but the fixing of their salaries
according to their new grade was still pending. Regarding the doubtful cases,
the sources said that the number of such cases was very small while most of the
teachers were promoted purely on merit. The genuinely promoted teachers
have been running from pillar to post to get their salaries fixed as their
entitlement ever since the orders were passed. The irony of the fact is
that the files of most of these male and female teachers were "missing" from the
offices concerned. Normally, the record is maintained at the offices of
the EDO of education, additional district officers of education, district
officer of local bodies and the CDGK finance department. A number of the
aggrieved teachers informed that they had been visiting all these offices
almost every fortnight since 2005 to inquire about their cases but the officials
concerned had always been telling them that the files were missing or the cases
were pending action. Terming their claim of the files being not
traceable a lame excuse, the affected teachers argued that the teachers had been
shown their files and also given the photocopies of the documents that not only
contained all relevant information but also the diary numbers, through which the
files could be traced out easily. They appealed to the city nazim to
intervene in the matter and help get the issue resolved. Dawn
