Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association voices concern over teachers’ transfers

Karachi The central committee of the Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA) has expressed concern over the presence of “incompetent” employees at the Education Department.


“Despite the fact that the Finance Department has upgraded the posts in the colleges from 1989 to 2004, at least 2,016 posts of Grade-18 and 1,045 posts of Grade-19 were still not included in the budget book owing to the lethargy of certain employees at the Education Department,” the committee said in a statement issued on Wednesday.


The teachers were being transferred without taking into consideration the ground realities, and as a result various colleges had been facing a dearth of teachers, it said.


The SPLA alleged that Coordinator to Education Minister Naveed Zubari had been misusing powers for such transfers and postings.


The SPLA’s central committee appealed to the education minister and the secretary education to save the Education Department from the “black sheep” for the cause of promoting education in the province.


The meeting, chaired by Professor Ather Hussain Mirza at the DJ Science College, decided to complete the college unit elections-2011-12 by September 30.The news.
