State Education Minister Bratya Basu Friday said the state government is considering starting an online portal to look into the transfer of teachers in state-run colleges.
According to the minister, once the process kicks off, teachers of state-aided colleges will be able to apply for their transfer online instead of submitting applications by visiting the Higher Education Department office.
The physical visit involves a time-taking process, and getting to know about vacancies in other colleges is also a daunting task under the present system.
“The online system will help teachers of 450 state-aided colleges who are seeking transfer. We are introducing this system to ensure transparency. Any teacher can see vacancies online and apply for a posting. They will have the freedom to select the college of their choice and apply accordingly. We will make a formal announcement in the next two-three days,” said Basu.
