Hr Sec Gund faces staff shortage; Parents seek intervention of Director Education

Kangan, May 19: A government higher secondary school in tehsil Gund area of this central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district is without the services of required staff including teachers and lecturers, making the teaching-learning process suffer immensely.

A group of locals whose students are studying in the institution told Greater Kashmir that Government Higher Secondary School Gund is without the required staff. “The functioning of the school has been badly affected due to the non-availability of the staff which includes teachers and lecturers,” the locals said, alleging that the Education Department is not serious towards filling up the vacant post in the school. They said that the educational institute is without Physics, Botany and other subject lecturers as they have been deputed to other non-teaching jobs including Census 2026.

They further said that they have also informed Chief Education Officer Ganderbal about the issue. They urged the government to take necessary measures to fulfil pending demand so as to secure the career of the students enrolled in the school. “On one hand the authorities are making tall claims regarding the improvement in the education system while there is no transparent policy to overcome the deficiency of staff in Government schools” the group of parents told Greater Kashmir. The parents sought immediate intervention of the Director Education Kashmir in this regard. “We seek the intervention of Director Education to look into the issue so the demand is addressed as soon as possible,” they added.
