Madhya Pradesh Opens Teacher Transfer Applications Amid Criticism and Transparency Concerns
The Madhya Pradesh School Education Department opened online applications for teacher transfers from June 19 to June 23, introducing new rules including a 90% attendance requirement and restrictions for those nearing retirement or posted in their home district. Teacher groups criticized these conditions, citing technical issues and duty-related attendance challenges. Meanwhile, concerns arose over the transparency of the voluntary transfer process, as some teachers were transferred under this category before the official application window opened, and certain urban vacancies were marked as reserved, prompting calls for clarification.
