Gujarat Head Teachers Get Fresh Transfer Camp After Seniority Delay
Imagine teachers who wanted to move schools in Gujarat.
The rules about how long they had to work at their current school were unclear.
This caused some teachers to miss out on the chance to transfer.
The government is now holding another transfer camp to fix the problem.
Teachers can apply again or change their old applications.
The new rule focuses on the date they started their job, not when they joined their current school.
The education department will also promote qualified teachers to head teacher positions after the transfers are done.
Gujarat's education department announced a new transfer camp for head teachers.
Delays in seniority calculation changes affected head teachers' transfer applications.
Many head teachers were initially disqualified due to incorrect eligibility criteria.
The revised policy uses original appointment dates instead of current school joining dates.
Transfer camps must be completed before June 15, followed by district-level transfers.
