Promotion of 1,220 teachers of CDGK schools soon
Karachi: Despite the passage of three months, a total of 1,220 teachers
including Primary School Teachers (PST), Junior School Teachers (JST) and Sindhi
Language Teachers (SLT) of CDGK-run schools are still waiting for their
promotions in the BPS grade-16 due to the lethargic attitude of the authorities
concerned of CDGK, it was learnt on Sunday. The sources in the education
department claimed that the promotions of aforementioned teachers were their due
right and department is doing work in this regard and soon they will be
promoted. They accepted that some delay is happened but the issue of their
promotion will be resolved as soon as possible. As per details, a total of
1,220 PST, JST and SLT were promoted in grade-16 by holding Departmental
Promotion Committee (DPC) meeting after completing all official requirements and
after finalising the names of promoted teachers, the list of successful teachers
had been dispatched to the DCO Karachi Javed Hanif office for formal approval.
Informed sources in the CDGK education department said that the DCO Karachi
had, on the very next day, marked the file to HRM department. But the DO of HRM
who first held the file in pending for more than one and a half month and later
passed it with frequent reminders. He submitted the file of the promotion of
poor teachers back to the Education Group of offices with an imbecile objection
that the CDGK is not competent to deal such cases of promotion. But sources in the Education department claimed that the delay was happened due
to some lethargy but now positive movement is being seen in this regard and soon
the teachers who are waiting for their promotions would be promoted. The
ignorance of the HRM department can easily be identified that the posts of HST
are actually non gazetted posts of BPS-15 with the salary benefit of BPS-16 and
the CDGK had already dealt such sort of promotion cases at their level in 2005,
when 1,560 PST, JST and SLT were promoted. Members of various teachers
organisations and associations including federation of primary school teachers,
Pakistan Education Forum, All Karachi Teachers Alliance and some other expressed
their surprise over the delay of the issuance of promotion list. They appealed
to the governor Sindh, chief secretary, CM Sindh Qaim Ali Shah, Provincial
Education Minister Pir Mazharul Haq, Adviser to Sindh CM Sharmila Farooqui and
City Nazim Mustafa Kamal to take notice over the delay in this regard and
directed the department to stop creating hurdles in the promotion of suitable
persons for the post. They said that most of the teaches who had been
promoted by the DPC were waiting for 12 to 15 years for their promotion and when
all things smoothly happened, the HRM department created problems. The EDO
education office when contacted said that those who were promoted through DPC
would soon be promoted in the forthcoming days. The Nation
