| RCTA voices concern over new recruitment policy of J & K | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 4: The Retired College teaching fraternity today, strongly voiced its concern over the new proposed recruitment policy of the State Govt. and demanded a higher Educational setup to maintain higher academic standards in the colleges.
In a press release, the Association demanded a higher education setup to be excluded from the purview of the proposed policy, to maintain higher academic standards in the colleges, for which the college teachers have strived hard over the years and is amply reflected by the higher gradings to State colleges by NAAC, grant of autonomous status to colleges, holding of national level conferences and huge fundings by national/international level agencies.
The association further stated that the College teachers have been a major catalyst and willing partners for the transformations of the Higher Educational setup in the state and as such, deserve a better treatment from the Government. The Govt. should not isolate the State from the norms set at the National level for Higher Educational Institutions and being followed all over the country for the sake of maintaining uniform educational standards at the national level, that would provide greater academic & career opportunities to the students at the national and international level.
The association also said that in order to meet the stringent appointment and promotion norms of UGC, the College Teaching cadre has not only to be of a very high academic standard, but also acquire higher educational qualifications & skills, prior to joining the college service and also during the service, resulting in a very late entry into the Govt. service. Under these circumstances, it would be a heinous act to force an academically talented person to serve in a temporary capacity for seven long years on a pittance. It again reads that the apathetic attitude towards the college teaching community and even to the medical fraternity would breed a silent resentment and directly affect the efficiency of college teachers & doctors, which would be detrimental to the society. It would be pertinent to mention here that even the contractual college teachers presently engaged by the Higher Education department deserve a substantial raise in their meager wages, befitting their higher qualifications and as is followed in other states by paying them at least the basic salary including the prevailing DA & HRA.
The RCTA demands that in order to uphold the sanctity of the higher education profession, all the appointments should continue to be filled by the J&K PSC on a permanent basis and a large number of genuine Ph.D holders should be given an opportunity to join the higher education department without any further delay and without agonizing proposal of a long seven year temporary service. The association also demanded that instead of making PSC redundant, it should immediately be made functional and the process of appointment of college teachers should be speeded up, as the requisite posts have already been referred to the PSC a long time ago. |
