In this regard, the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has issued circular instructions to all the Chief Education Officers (CEOs) with instructions to furnish the details of all such teachers.
The CEOs have been further directed to explain the reason for continuing the deployment of teachers in other schools or zones if the deployment period has already expired.
“Provide the information in respect of all those ReTs/Teacher Grade II/Teacher Grade III presently deployed or transferred to other schools/zones/districts,” the DSEK circular reads.
