HYDERABAD, Nov 21: The Government Secondary Teachers Association, district chapter, at a meeting held on Friday condemned the authorities concerned for destroying the education.

The meeting observed that about 40 secondary schools were running without headmasters in the district.

The meeting said recent notification about promotions spoke volumes for corruption and nepotism because all the senior headmasters had been transferred to other districts while the city schools were running without any headmaster.

The meeting said officers from junior to the former DO secondary were superseded over a senior headmistress although she was a woman but she had been appointed as head of a boys school which was never ever done before.

It demanded that the education minister and secretary should fill posts of headmasters on the basis of merit failing which the GSTA would start a protest movement after Eid to save education and educational institutions.

Meanwhile, the central chairman Parents Teachers Action Committee, Matloob Ahmed Chishti, in a statement on Thursday said that during his meeting with the provincial education minister, a couple of days ago back, he was assured that the problems of the secondary teachers would be resolved without a delay.

Mr Chishti said he had pleaded before the minister that many a teacher from the city in grade-18, both men and women, had been transferred to far-flung places.

He said this was inspite of the fact that 15 city schools were running without grade-18 headmasters. Mr Chishti regretted that Apa Rehmat Kazi who had been promoted to grade-20 and was the former DO had been posted as headmistress of the Noor Mohammad High School although she should had been posted as EDO.
