UP Inter-District Teacher Transfer for Surplus Staff

 

In Uttar Pradesh, the Basic Education Board has started the inter-district teacher transfer process for surplus teachers in primary and upper primary schools. Teachers who are extra in some schools are now being given a chance to move to schools where there is a need for teachers. According to the Board Secretary, Mr. Surendra Kumar Tiwari, 63,793 schools with surplus teachers, and 67,050 schools need more teachers. This new list has been uploaded to the official website of the Basic Education Board. Only those teachers whose schools are on the surplus list can log in to the website and apply for transfer.

The application process for voluntary transfers has started online. Teachers who want to apply must do it before Thursday. The transfer orders will be released on June 30. Teachers who are working in surplus schools can choose up to 25 schools where teachers are needed. Out of these, it is necessary to choose at least one option. Teachers who do not apply on time might miss this opportunity, and the website access may be closed to them.

The Secretary said that the Headmasters of primary schools and Assistant Teachers of upper primary schools can only apply for posts that match their current roles. For example, a primary school headmaster can apply only to other primary school headmaster posts. Similarly, an upper primary assistant teacher can apply only to upper primary posts. They cannot apply for each other’s posts. This means the system will only accept correct applications. Also, if a teacher’s school is not on the surplus list, the system will show their login as invalid.

Teachers must also take a printout of their online application and submit it to the Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) office by June 27. All BSA officers across the state have been instructed to verify the details and complete online data locking by June 28. This step is important so that the process is completed on time.

This inter-district surplus teacher transfer process is being done to balance the number of teachers in all schools. In many schools, there are more teachers than required. But at the same time, some schools do not have enough teachers. This affects the students and their learning. So, to give all students a better

education, this plan is being implemented. Teachers are also being told to take this opportunity seriously and complete their application process in time.

The Education Department wants to finish this adjustment process quickly. It will help make teaching better in schools that are currently short of teachers. Teachers are being requested to cooperate with the department and complete the necessary steps. This process is also transparent. All information is available on the official website. It is fair and only teachers who are extra in their current schools can take part. This is to make sure that no teacher is wrongly moved.

Teachers should also know that this is a golden chance. If they miss this deadline, they may not get another chance soon. So, they should act fast and apply by the last date. The system will automatically stop working after the last date. So, no application will be accepted after that.

The goal of this teacher transfer process is to make sure every school has the right number of teachers. It will improve the quality of education and reduce pressure on schools that have fewer teachers. At the same time, it will make good use of teachers in schools where there are more than needed. This balance is important for student progress.

All teachers, BSA officials, and education staff are expected to work together and complete this process smoothly. Teachers must log in using their correct credentials. Only valid surplus schools can log in. Others will not be allowed by the system.

In the coming days, all steps from application to verification and order release will be done on time. The Education Board has planned everything carefully. There are clear rules, and everyone must follow them. The department will keep checking if all steps are done as per the timeline.

Teachers should check the list of required schools on the website and select their preferred schools wisely. They should choose schools that are near their homes or convenient for them. The list has been made available so that teachers can make informed choices. But remember, at least one choice is compulsory.

In case teachers have any doubts, they should contact their BSA office. The BSA will help them and answer their questions. Teachers should not wait for the last day to apply. The website may have more traffic on the last day. So, it is better to apply early. It will also give them time to correct any mistakes in their form.

The Education Department is also making sure that the data is safe. No one can change the data after it is locked. This ensures that the process is fair. The locked data will be used to release transfer orders. Once the orders are released, teachers will have to report to their new schools. This change is expected to improve education in rural and urban schools alike.

The teachers’ cooperation is very important in this process. Without their support, the department cannot make schools better. This transfer is not forced. It is only for those who are willing to go to schools where they are needed. So, it is a chance to help the system and also find a school that suits them better.

The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board has also given technical support. The website has instructions and all the needed links. Teachers must read the instructions carefully before applying. Any wrong application will be rejected. Teachers should double-check their information and school choices.

In conclusion, this is a big step towards solving the problem of teacher shortage. It also helps schools with extra teachers to send them to the right places. The application process is simple and online. Teachers must take it seriously and complete their part. By June 30, all orders will be given, and the new school year will begin with balanced teacher strength. Let us hope all schools will soon have the right number of teachers, and students will benefit from better learning.

This inter-district surplus teacher transfer program is a positive move for education in Uttar Pradesh. It helps both teachers and students. It also shows that the government cares about improving schools. Teachers must join hands and complete this process successfully. Time is short, so act now. Fill the form, submit the printout, and wait for your new school posting. Good luck to all the teachers!

UP Teachers Say No to School Merger

The Uttar Pradesh Junior High School Teachers Association has started a peaceful protest against the school merger policy in the state. The government is trying to merge small primary and junior schools in different villages. But the teachers say this is not right. It will harm the future of poor children in villages. It will also create problems for teachers. The association has said that they will start a peaceful movement. They will not accept the wrong policy of merging schools. They said that giving free or low-cost education is not just a rule, it is a moral duty of the government.

In many villages, the nearest school is now being placed 2 or 3 kilometers away. The children who earlier walked a few minutes to school now have to walk long distances. This is particularly challenging for young children, especially girls. It is also unsafe. Some children may stop going to school. If they drop out, who will be responsible? The government should think about these problems before making such big changes. The teachers say that the merger system should stop immediately. Every village must have its school like before.

When schools are far away, small children may not attend regularly. Poor parents cannot send them by bus or car. They also cannot take them daily. Many children will miss school or leave it altogether. This is against the Right to Education law, which says that children should get primary education close to home. If the school is too far, it becomes hard to follow this law.

The teachers are not against improving education. They want better schools, too. But instead of closing village schools, the government should improve them. They should give more teachers, books, furniture, clean toilets, and drinking water. If schools become better, more children will come. But if schools are closed and children are sent far away, education will stop for many. This is not a smart step. It is a harmful step for village children.

The teacher union is also worried that this school merger is just a way to reduce teachers. When two schools are joined, one teacher post may be removed. This is unfair. Many teachers are working with a full heart. They love teaching. They want to serve children. But now they are scared for their jobs. Shiksha Mitras and part-time teachers are very tense. They do not know what will happen next.

Many villagers are also sad and angry. They say the school in the village is not just a building. It is the heart of the village. It is a place of learning, playing, and growing. When children go to a school in their village, parents are happy and feel safe. But now, when schools are merged and children are sent far away, parents feel helpless. Girl children may stop going to school. Parents may not allow them to walk 2–3 km daily. There are also safety issues and transport problems.

The teacher association wants to save education in villages. They want to meet leaders, MLAs, MPs, and ministers. They want to explain the problem in simple words. They want to request that the government take back this policy. They are saying: please let the schools run like before. Please help teachers and children. Please save the future of rural India.

Education experts also say that this kind of one-size-fits-all system is not good. Every village is different. Some villages have good roads. Others do not. Some areas are near forests or rivers. In such places, children walking 3 kilometers is not safe. The government should talk to teachers and parents before making big decisions. Teachers are the backbone of schools. If teachers are not respected, then education cannot be strong.

The Right to Education (RTE) rule says that children in classes 1 to 5 should not travel more than 1 km. For Classes 6 to 8, it should not be more than 3 km. But even this is too far for small kids, especially in rural areas. When a child walks long distances daily, they get tired. Their health and studies suffer. The merger system is not helping students. It is pushing them away from schools.

The protest by the teachers is peaceful. They are not shouting or going on strike. They are just explaining their point. They are ready to sit for peaceful dharnas and send letters. They want to talk to the government with respect. But they also say that if the policy is not changed, they will continue their protest. They are ready for a long movement if needed.

Their message is clear. Let every village have its school. Stop merging schools. Keep education near homes. Help children learn happily and safely. Do not make them walk for kilometers. Respect the role of teachers. Listen to their voice. Only then will real education grow.

This protest is not only for teachers. It is for every child who dreams of studying. It is for every parent who wants their child to learn. It is for every village that wants a better future. The government must listen. The school merger plan must stop. Village schools must work as before. Then only can we say that we care for education.

The teachers are standing together. They say: We will not let basic education die. We will protect children’s right to learn. We will save village schools. We will walk the path of peace, but we will not be silent. The government must act now. Education is not a favour. It is a right. And that right must be protected. Always.

Why Merging Government Primary Schools Is a Threat to Children's Education

 

The Basic Education Department has started merging government primary schools where there are fewer students. A new rule says that if a school has fewer than 25 children, it should be closed and those students should be sent to a nearby school. This work has been given to all the District Basic Education Officers in the state. The reason behind this step is to reduce the number of schools and manage them better. But this step is creating many serious problems, especially for small children, poor families, and villages.

The biggest issue in this plan is that it goes against the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The RTE Act was passed in 2009. It says that education is a basic right of every child between 6 to 14 years of age. It also says that there should be a school in every village, and no child should have to travel too far to go to school. This Act was not just about making numbers look good. It was a promise made by the government to give every child an equal chance to study and grow.

Instead of fulfilling this promise, the government is now saying that there are too many schools and not enough teachers. So, they want to merge schools to use teachers better. But this is not the real problem. The real problem is that the government has not appointed enough teachers. Many schools have only one or two teachers who are forced to handle all the classes. On top of that, teachers are regularly called for other government work like election duty, making ration cards, doing health surveys, vaccination work, and so on. These jobs take them away from teaching. If the teachers are always busy with other duties, how can they focus on children?

Now, instead of solving this issue, the government is choosing the easy way—by closing the schools. But this is not a solution. This is hiding the problem. Closing schools or merging them will directly hurt children. Right now, many children can reach their village school in just 500 meters or 1 kilometer. But after the merger, they may have to walk 3 to 4 kilometers. The roads are not always safe. There may be forests, rivers, highways, or even wild animals in some areas. This will make it very hard for small children to go to school, especially for girls. Their parents may stop sending them because of safety and distance.

We should remember that a school is not just a place to study. It is a place where children learn about their language, culture, society, and values. A village school is close to the people. Teachers know the families, and there is a strong bond between school and society. When a child learns in their village, in their language, with known people, they feel safe and confident. But when schools are closed or merged, this connection breaks. Education becomes distant and difficult. Children feel lost in a new place.

This policy will hit poor children the most. Rich families can send their children to private schools with transport facilities. But poor families depend on government schools. If the school moves far away, they have no option. Many children may drop out. Girls may be kept at home. Child labor may increase. This will push poor children further back and increase inequality.

Instead of closing schools, the government should focus on improving them. There should be one teacher for each class. There should be enough rooms, toilets, drinking water, playgrounds, and teaching material. Teachers should be trained properly and given permanent jobs. Most importantly, they should be freed from non-teaching work. Only then can they focus fully on their real job—teaching.

We must ask: if there are not enough teachers, why is the government not hiring more? Why are trained and eligible youth not being given jobs as teachers? Why are existing teachers being burdened with non-educational work? Why is the solution always to reduce schools, not to improve them?

The truth is that this decision to merge schools shows that the government has failed to provide proper teachers and facilities in the last 15 years. Now, instead of accepting its failure and correcting it, the government is trying to shift the blame. It wants to cover up its mistakes by reducing the number of schools.

But this is not just a policy issue. It is about the future of lakhs of children. Education is not a favor—it is a right. And the first step of that right is to have a school in the village. If we remove that school, we remove the child’s first step towards learning, confidence, and citizenship.

Merging schools may save some money. It may look good on paper. But it will damage the roots of our education system. It will separate children from their village, their culture, and their identity. It will make education harder to access. It will increase dropouts and reduce learning. It will harm our democracy, because a child who does not get an education today cannot become a responsible citizen tomorrow.

This is not progress. This is a step backward. And we cannot let this happen. We must all stand up—teachers, parents, students, and every citizen who cares about children. We must say clearly and loudly: if you cannot improve education, do not destroy what we already have. Do not take away the schools that are lifelines of our villages. Do not punish children for the failure of the system.

If there are not enough teachers, appoint more. If teachers are overworked, reduce their non-teaching duties. If schools are weak, strengthen them. But do not shut them down. That is not a solution. That is giving up on our children.

Let us remind ourselves that every child has a dream. That dream begins in a small village school. Let us protect those dreams. Let us protect our schools. Because when we protect schools, we protect the future of our country.
