Now, no service period compulsion for inter-dist transfer of teachers

Online applications for inter-district mutual transfer of teachers working in government-run primary (classes 1 to 5), upper primary (classes 6 to 8) and composite (classes 1 to 8) schools functioning under UP Basic Education Council across Uttar Pradesh will be accepted from April 1 to 11.

PRAYAGRAJ:

Many important changes have been made this time in the process as per an order issued by UP Basic Education Council secretary Surendra Kumar Tiwari on Thursday.

The most important change, as specified in the missive dated March 6 sent to BSAs of all districts, a copy of which is with HT, is that the compulsion of any minimum service period for a teacher to be eligible for inter-district transfers has been done away with.

This virtually paves way even for a newly appointed teacher in a district to also apply for transfer to another district, confirmed officials of the state basic education department.
