Haryana Government would soon appoint principals of 240 schools in the State.
The State Finance Department has sanctioned creation of posts in these schools, which were upgraded in 2014, said Additional Chief Secretary, School Education Department, PK Das.
He said that Principals could not be appointed as posts were not created in these schools at the time of upgradation. However, with the Finance Department’s sanction, the appointments would soon be made, said he.
Das said that 600 posts of Principal were lying vacant in the Department, which were filled through promotions of school head master and Post Graduate Teacher (PGT).
While some people had raised objection over seniority list of PGT, the seniority list was now being given final form after scrutiny as per the orders of Punjab and Haryana High Court. These posts would soon be filled through promotion of eligible candidates according to prescribed criteria, he added.
