Conspiracy to ruin ‘education revolution’ in Delhi, says Atishi

NEW DELHI: Delhi education minister Atishi on Monday alleged that the orders to transfer 5,000 teachers were issued at the behest of BJP which could not digest the transformation of state-run schools.
Addressing a press conference, Atishi alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to transfer teachers to ruin the “education revolution” in the capital. “Our dispensation in Delhi has transformed govt schools in the last 10 years.The results of students here have set records,” she claimed.
No reaction was available from BJP.
Acting on the orders of LG VK Saxena, Delhi govt on Monday directed that the transfer of 5,000 school teachers, who were posted in the same school for more than 10 years, be kept in abeyance.
The education minister congratulated the people after the transfer orders were kept in abeyance. “Today Delhi’s teachers and Delhiites have won,” Atishi said.
In an official order, the education department said it had received several representations in the matter of the recent transfer orders issued by the directorate of education, pertaining to teachers who have continued for more than 10 years in the same school.
“After going through the representations and listening to the delegations, the competent authority has decided to constitute an appropriate committee, comprising representatives of all stakeholders and experts, so as to take a holistic, sympathetic and fair view in the matter,” it said.
“Therefore, till further orders, the transfer orders of teachers issued on July 2 are kept in abeyance. Postings of all such teachers are restored as on July 1,” it added. TNN
