Raipur: The Shaley Shikshak Sangh Chhattisgarh has urged the education department to promptly issue orders ensuring seniority-based promotions and time scale benefits for all integrated teachers. Following a Supreme Court ruling rejecting the state’s SLP, the teachers’ union is pressing for swift implementation of the court’s decision.Teachers’ Fundamental RightThe union emphasized that seniority-based promotion and time scale benefits are fundamental rights of employees. Assistant teachers should receive promotions, while senior teachers, headmasters, and lecturers should be granted time scale pay based on seniority. Despite eligibility, many teachers remain deprived of promotions, warranting immediate departmental action.Updating Vacant Posts for Maximum BenefitUnion leaders highlighted the need for an updated list of vacant principal and lecturer positions to facilitate maximum promotions. Transparent and efficient placement through counseling should be prioritized to curb corruption.Direct Recruitment of Principals Through Departmental ExamThe organization urged the education department to expedite the recruitment of principals via the departmental exam, filling 10% of the posts directly. Currently, 3,600 out of 4,700 sanctioned principal posts remain vacant, leaving eligible lecturers waiting for over 30 years. The delay adversely affects both teachers’ careers and the education system.Need for Early School Timings Amid Extreme HeatGiven the rising temperatures, the union also called for adjusting school hours in the morning shift to ensure student and teacher well-being.Shaley Shikshak Sangh leaders, including State President Virendra Dubey, General Secretary Dharmesh Sharma, and Executive President Chandrashekhar Tiwari, met with officials at the ministry and secretariat to push for these demands. The organization remains committed to ensuring quality education and safeguarding teachers’ rights.Jitendra Sharma, the union’s media in-charge, reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to securing timely promotions, eliminating pay discrepancies, and improving school infrastructure.
