POONCH, February 15: Joint Director School Education Poonch/Rajouri Mohammad Ashraf chaired a meeting of Cluster heads of Poonch district here at conference Hall of CEO Office h to discuss the best use of human resources in schools at Cluster level.

Speaking at the meeting, he said it is imperative to have efficient resourcing and Effective Governance through School Complexes/Clusters, as it is one of the components of NEP 2020.

Chief Education Officer, Bishamber Dass; District Education and Planning Officer, N.M Suri; all Cluster heads and ZEOs attended the meeting.

A thorough discussion was held on the Efficient Resourcing while keeping in view the Pupil-Teacher ratio in the Schools.

  “A massive exercise is required to ensure optimum and effective utilisation of teachers. The rationalisation should provide teachers to schools as per requirement. Presently, there are a number of schools with less student strength but more teachers. Such schools will have to forgo some teachers,” he added.

He d asked the cluster heads to get the actual data from the ZEOs concerned before the rationalization exercise so that all the schools get teachers as per norms or PTR. He asked them to ensure the posting of teacher(s) in Primary schools.

Chief Education Officer Poonch, Bishamber Dass, in his address, emphasized on the need to achieve academic excellence in the coming academic session adding that otherwise the rationalization of teachers would be a useless exercise. He stressed on the timely submission of proposals of rationalization, so that all the schools having dearth of teaching faculty get the required staff in the coming academic session.

Cluster Heads and ZEOs also raised certain questions which were resolved by the Joint Director and the CEO Poonch.
