The all Jammu and Kashmir National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) Vocational Trainers/Teachers have urged the U.T Govt (Lieutenant Governor) to meet their long lasting demands.
The Vocational Trainers of Jammu and Kashmir were recruited in the year 2016 in Various High Schools and Higher Secondary’s to prepare the students in productive trades and improve their vocational efficiency in order to maintain global competitiveness under different courses.
The vocational trainers were recruited by the private VTPS in collaboration with the RMSA under order no. edu/spd/rmsa/8176-77 2016 in accordance with proper screening process. The private agencies which are entitled to manage all the process of vocational teachers have miserably failed on their part. There have been delays in payment of salaries and from the last two months they haven’t paid anything. However the teachers drew fewer salaries in comparison to other state NSQF vocational teachers.
The Govt. has made several promises with respect to hike in the salaries and framing job policy but failed to implement the same at ground level. Last month the honourable Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced the salary increment for these vocational teachers but it just remained headline of news channels and no relief was provided to the downtrodden families of these vocational teachers.
Now the teachers have urged the Govt. to bring all the process of vocational teachers under its control like it was done previously in July 2018 in which the VTPS were diluted for some time and teachers were directed to follow the instructions directly from the RMSA. But due to some unknown reasons the private agencies where handed over again the charge of these vocational teachers.
Now, the vocational teachers have urged the present Govt. to bring all the processes of vocational teachers directly under their control and frame a job policy for them.
These teachers are working along with the regular teachers at very low salaries and without the other requisite facilities, while the regular teachers are getting much more salaries which is totally against the equal work and equal pay policy.
