Says Education cornerstone of social, economic development of society Distributes regularisation orders among 261 CPWs at Jammu Jammu, June 19: Minister for Education, Social Welfare, Health and Medical Education Sakeena Itoo on Friday directed education authorities to adopt a zero-tolerance approach towards teacher attachments from far-flung areas to urban centres and ordered the immediate repatriation of such teachers to their original postings.  She said the practice had created an artificial shortage of teaching staff in rural schools and stressed that children in villages should not suffer due to staff shortages. “The shortage of teachers is manufactured because teachers avoid far-flung postings. The need of the hour is to send them back so that children in villages do not suffer,” she asserted.
