Srinagar, August 30 — In a move that brings long-overdue recognition to the tireless efforts of education workers, Minister Sakina Itoo has announced the promotion of 458 teaching and non-teaching personnel across the Kashmir division.
These promotions come as part of the government’s wider initiative to revamp and uplift the educational landscape in Jammu & Kashmir. While speaking on Saturday, the Minister—who currently holds multiple key portfolios including Health & Medical Education, School Education, Higher Education, and Social Welfare—highlighted that the promotion orders will be issued shortly.
“This is not just a promotion; it’s an acknowledgment of the years of service, passion, and perseverance shown by our educators and school staff,” Sakina Itoo said in her official statement. “In line with our commitment to streamline the education sector, I am pleased to share the elevation of 458 teaching and non-teaching personnel from the Kashmir division to the next higher level.”
These promotions represent more than just paperwork—they mark a crucial morale boost to the workforce that forms the backbone of Kashmir’s education system. Teachers and school staff have often carried out their responsibilities in tough environments, yet have remained steadfast in shaping young minds.
The Minister concluded her remarks by extending heartfelt congratulations: “Best wishes to all those promoted—your contribution is valued and vital to our future.”
This step not only addresses long-pending administrative delays but also reinforces the government’s intent to prioritize education sector reforms—starting with the people who serve at its very core.
