Chandigarh, December 19: The Cabinet under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday approved amendments to the Punjab Educational Service Rules (Teaching Cadre) and Non Teaching Cadres of the Department of School Education, to realign them with various court judgements and change in the basic qualifications for various cadres.
According to an official spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office, the rules governing service conditions of government employees to various services of the Department of School Education had become outdated and virtually outlived their relevance, since these rules were framed in the years 1941, 1955, 1978, 1995 and 2004 to regulate recruitment and service conditions of various teaching and non-teaching personnel.
The amendments/changes would be incorporated in various existing rules viz. the Punjab State Educational (School and Inspection Cadre General) Group-A Service Rules, 2018, the Punjab Educational (School and Inspection Cadre) Group-B Service Rules, 2018, the Punjab State Elementary Education (Administrative Cadre) Group-B Service Rules, 2018, the Punjab Educational Service (Teaching Cadre) Group-C Service Rules, 2018 and the Punjab State Elementary Educational (Teaching Cadre) Group-C Service Rules, 2018.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet also approved the Administrative Report of the Punjab State Food Commission for the financial years 2015-16 and 2016-17.
