The Jammu and Kashmir administration has cleared a policy to regularise teachers serving as in‑charge headmasters, granting them permanent status.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has formally approved a scheme to regularise teachers who are currently holding the position of in‑charge headmaster in schools across the union territory. The decision, announced through an official circular, aims to convert these temporary appointments into permanent posts.
Under the new policy, in‑charge headmasters who meet prescribed service criteria will be eligible for regularisation, receiving the same benefits and job security as regular teachers. The move is expected to address long‑standing concerns about career stability among school staff and to improve administrative continuity in educational institutions.
Education officials indicated that the regularisation process will begin in the upcoming financial year, with applications to be vetted by the Department of Education. The department will verify service records and performance evaluations before confirming permanent status.
Stakeholders anticipate that the policy will boost morale among teachers and contribute to better management of schools, ultimately supporting the quality of education in the region.
