Strange system at work in Education department
Karachi: The detailment system at Sindh Education Department through which several people were either promoted or transferred to other departments, has been denying the deserving candidates their due promotion, it has been learnt.

Despite the fact that the Chief Minister Sindh Qaim Ali Shah had imposed ban on the detailment and pay scale systems during his first cabinet meeting, many illegal postings/transfers have reportedly been made through detailment system in the education department.

Detailment is a system of posting or transferring an official of one department to the other or one district to other. The beneficiaries of this system though work on the posts where they are posted or transferred to, they get there salaries from the department they actually belong to. The sources from education department said that many illegal postings and transfers of assistants of other districts through this strange system have been reported in the educational offices and schools of the city. This exercise is in full swing due to which many senior clerks working under the administration control of Executive District Officer (EDO) Education have been unjustly promoted, sources claimed.

However, the EDO Education Muhammad Ibrahim Kumbhar said that there was only one case of detailment in the department and it was entertained on a request by government of Sindh. "If they (the government) order us to consider any particular person, we are bound to obey them," Kumbhar said.

According to sources one such case is that of Sikandar Ali Gopang, the Assistant of Department of Education (Elementary) Female, Sukkar who has been posted through detailment system as Assistant of Department of Education (Elementary) Female, Bin Qasim Town. Sources said that Gopang's notification number (S-IV)/ IDI/(59)/ 2009 was issued on June 15 this year and approved by the concerned officials. Furthermore, Ghulam Rasool Bhutto from Larkana was assigned to look after the Account Officer, District Education Officer, Elementary, Male, which is a vacant post of Assistant, Grade 11 in Karachi despite that Grade 11 employees are available in the department to do the job, sources added.

Yet another such case is that of, Qamar Iqbal, a junior school teacher from Globe Lower Secondary School, North Nazimabad, who has been posted at Intermediate Board Office. The said people including others are involved in violation of Recruitment Rules 1989, the sources added.

Most of the people who came in Karachi through detailment have provided fake documentation to get promotion orders. These postings of outsiders on certain posts through this system have disturbed the process of merit-based promotion, the sources claimed.

On the other hand the Secretary, Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh, Rizwan Memon said that he was against the detailment system and never supported it. Although he made it clear that if his remarks on any detailment case were overlooked by the superior authorities and that particular person was allowed to resume work then he could do nothing in this regard.

However, Memon mentioned that a person on detailment always gets bottom place in the seniority list and detailment is somehow allowed on humanitarian grounds. He added that if aggrieved person visit him with complains on this matter then he would entertain their request and would justify the cases of detailment if any.

Unfortunately, this system has been working for a long period of time now. Even senior officials have been affected by this system and their right of promotion to the position they deserve has been denied. The aggravated employees have demanded to the authorities to send all those employees who have benefited from this system, back to their mother organisations at the earliest possible time. The News
