KS News Desk

Srinagar, Dec 27: The Jammu & Kashmir Employees Coordination Committee (JKECC), under the leadership of its Chairman Shah Fayaz has drawn the attention of the concerned authorities towards long-pending service-related issues of Gazetted Officers of the School Education Department, particularly Principals.

JKECC has reiterated its demand for the implementation of the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme for gazetted officers of school education department in Jammu and Kashmir, on the pattern of UT Ladakh, as per DoPT, office Memorandum No. 35034/3/2015-Estt(D) dated 22 October 2019.

JKECC noted that prolonged stagnation has affected morale and career growth despite the constitution of several committees in the past.

JKECC has further expressed its concern over the delay in regularization of Look-After principals and lecturers, many of whom have been performing higher duties for the last 3–4 years. "JKECC emphasized the need for timely action so that deserving officers receive due recognition and service benefits," the official handout reads.

JKECC also highlighted the issue of vacational status for Principals during winter vacations, stating that principals continue to perform essential administrative and academic duties during this period and deserve equitable treatment.

Chairman Shah Fayaz appealed to the government to consider these issues sympathetically and expeditiously, in the interest of institutional stability and the overall improvement of the education system in Jammu & Kashmir.
