Summary:

Bareilly: The Yogi Adityanath government’s announcement of a new transfer policy for teachers in primary and upper primary schools has made them see red.The transfer policy is aimed at ensuring an equitable and demand-based distribution of teachers. For instance, the strength of a primary school in Dunka has been wrongly written as 106 instead of 206. However, such specialist teachers will now be transferred and a few schools may end up having two mathematics teachers but not a single Urdu teacher,” added Mishra. Basic shiksha adhikari (BSA) Chandana Ram Iqbal Yadav said, “We have started the process of identifying surplus teachers in schools considering the enrolment number of students till April 30. We oppose transfer of teachers in such a situation and if the need arises, we will move court against it.“On the order of the government, the department had appointed teachers having specialization in mathematics, science and Urdu in 2015..
