On February 21, the government made a positive move by promoting over 80 headmasters to the role of Zonal Education Officers (ZEOs) through the Look After ZDU. This decision has been well-received by both teachers and students in the education sector. The Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Forum (JKTF) had previously highlighted the delay in promotions for headmasters, ZEOs, and principals. After discussions with the government, a resolution was found, and the promotion list was subsequently released.
