Good news for teachers: Changes in the rules of transfer of primary school teachers

 Good news for teachers:


  1. Separate seniority of Std. 1 to 5 and 6 to 8 teachers will be considered
  2. The transfer of primary teachers will no longer be considered as a standard 1 to 8 consecutive unit
  3. The district transfer of women teachers will benefit on the basis of place of marriage registration instead of place of appointment
  4. Now not only the Secretariat, but all government employees' teacher wives will have the opportunity to be transferred within three years of appointment.

A major change has been made in the transfer rule of about two lakh teachers working in the state's primary schools. According to the new rule, teachers of Std. 1 to 5 will not be included in Std. 6 to 8 in case of increase. Until now, since Std.1 to 8 were considered as consecutive units, many teachers were deprived of the benefits of seniority, delaying their transfers.


 In the primary school divided into two parts, the qualification of PTC was determined in the recruitment of teachers of Std.1 to 5, while in Std.6 to 8, graduation with B.Ed or PTC was made compulsory.  Therefore, the education department made a temporary provision that the teachers who have more in Std. 1 to 5 should be included in Std. 6 to 8. 

Provision for transfer of non-transferable staff of Secretariat cadre in special case in Gandhinagar
In such circumstances, there is a vacancy for a mathematics teacher in a school in Std. 6th to 8th, but there was no replacement for another teacher as there were additional teachers in Std.



 Secondly, even in seniority, consecutive units were considered. The new rule now removes the provision to include an additional teacher, although if a temporary teacher is placed, he or she will be transferred to another location in the replacement camp. 


The benefit of transfer to their teacher spouse after completion of three years of service



However, other categories have also been added, in which the employees or officers appointed to various posts in the Secretariat Services of the Government of Gujarat, Gujarat Public Service Commission and Gujarat High Court will be given the benefit of transfer after completion of three years of service.

Only the place where women's marriage is registered will be considered

Appointments can be made on the basis of vacancies in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts
