New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Sunday met representatives of different government school teachers’ associations and advised the Directorate of Education to take a fair view of the recent transfer orders concerning teachers.
Raj Niwas Delhi, run by Delhi LG Secretariat, took to its official X handle and said, “VK Saxena had received several representations from different government school teacher’s Associations and met their delegation today at Raj Niwas.”
The post added further, “VK Saxena, is consistently striving for better service conditions for government employees so that they can perform optimally.”
It said that Saxena has advised the Chief Secretary and Directorate of Education to take a sympathetic, holistic and fair view into the recent transfer orders about teachers. “He (VK Saxena) has suggested that in the interim, the orders be kept in abeyance.”
Delhi Education Minister Atishi on July 4 wrote to Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar and directed him to immediately withdraw the transfer order of teachers issued on July 2.
The Delhi Education Minister also asked to immediately hold on to any further compulsory transfer of teachers merely because they have completed 10 years in a particular school.
“Under clause 16 of this circular, all those teachers who have served for more than 10 years in the same schools were directed to compulsorily apply for transfer, failing which, they will be transferred to any school by the DoE,” said Atishi, adding that nearly 5,000 teachers who did not apply for any transfer were transferred to other schools invoking this contentious clause.
The Delhi Education Minister also directed the Chief Secretary to Initiate Disciplinary proceedings against the errant officers who willfully defied the direction dated July 1, 2024 concerning the implementation of compulsory transfer of teachers merely because they have completed 10 years in a particular school, and to Initiate Vigilance Inquiry against corruption and malpractice, if any, in the transfer matter of teachers.
