New Delhi, Sept. 13 -- The Delhi government is likely to announce a new teacher transfer policy during Sewa Pakhwada (service fortnight), beginning September 17, with the proposed framework aimed at making transfers of government school teachers more transparent, objective and technology-driven, officials said on Friday. The government already has a transfer policy for teachers, but it has not been implemented in letter and spirit. The policy is expected to address these gaps by bringing the process onto a centralised online platform. Under the proposed system, every teacher is likely to be assigned a unique ID through which their service record, posting history, tenure and other relevant details can be maintained in a central database. Teachers will be able to access their details and, once the transfer window opens, participate in the process through the portal, officials said. "Currently, the online process is carried out through the Directorate of Education portal, but the government is likely to create a separate portal for implementation of the new policy," an official said. A key feature of the proposed policy is expected to be a points-based system. Teachers would be awarded points under different categories, with the cumulative score determining their priority for transfer against available vacancies, the official said. The exact categories and weightage are still being finalised, but the system is expected to take into account factors such as length of service, tenure at the present school and personal or family circumstances....
