To end stalemate in promotions as a part of overall strategy to formulate path breaking steps for uplifting the standard of education in Punjab, the State Education Department has decided to hold meetings of Departmental Promotion Committees (DPC) four times in a year.
The promotions are being speeded up as per which the Department has promoted 310 lecturers as Principals, said the state Education Minister Aruna Chaudhary on Thursday.
She said that the Department has called newly-promoted officers in PAS cadre (School and Inspection) Group 'A' cadre for counseling concerning postings on December 1 and 2 at the Punjab School Education Board auditorium.
The lecturers who have been newly-promoted to principal rank with seniority number from 2010 to 2252 have been called at 9 am on December 1, while those with seniority number from 2254 to 2568 have been called on December 2 at 9 am.
Chaudhary said that the Government is promulgating teacher and student friendly measures besides refurbishing the school infrastructure.
