For two years, 80 per cent of increased secondary academics in Kerala denied transfers to house stations

Express News Service

KOCHI: The suspicion that solely the highly effective and the related can survive in authorities departments is being proved true within the case of round 80 per cent of the two,000 increased secondary college academics who’ve been denied transfers to their house stations for the previous two years.

They had even filed a petition with the Kerala Administration Tribunal (KAT) final month looking for an answer to their plight. “We didn’t receive any favourable response. All that KAT decided was to post the hearing to February 2022. The reason? The government needs more time to effect the general transfer in the Higher Secondary School Teacher (HSST) and HSST (junior) categories, and that it will consider the issue at the time of general transfer,” stated an HSS trainer.

The points associated to the HSST part are many, he identified. “But no one is brave enough to come forward fearing repercussions,” stated the trainer who himself didn’t wish to be named. According to a woman trainer, normally, the transfers occur yearly.

“However, for the past two years and three months, there has been no movement, especially in the HSS section. This has put many teachers in a tough spot,” the trainer stated.
