CHITRAL, Oct 4: District Education Officer (female) Zohra Jalal has allegedly violated the official policy in postings of primary schoolteachers (PSTs) in Chitral. A source in the education department told this correspondent that under the policy the PSTs had been categorized on the basis of grade as PST (grade-12), senior PST (grade-14) and head teacher (grade-15). He said instead of one head teacher, two or more head teachers had been posted in most of the girls primary schools in the town in violation of the policy. The source said at the government girls primary school, Muldeh, four head teachers were working against one such post while the primary schools in remote areas had been without head teachers since long. When contacted, DEO Zohra Jalal said she had taken the decision after bringing the matter into the notice of the director education. However, she had no answer when asked about the absence of two teachers since 2009, who were recently sacked from service on the recommendation of the independent monitoring unit (IMU).–Zahiruddin Also read here: https://www.chitraltoday.net/2014/10/02/two-teachers-sacked-for-prolonged-absenteesm/#sthash.A8Fh0xRZ.dpbs]]>
