Imphal, April 07 2017:
With a view to check sending of substitutes and irregularity in attending schools by teachers, School Education Department has initiated due measures so that schools display photographs of teachers.
Even as teachers are expected to attend schools on time under the Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009, many teachers have not been attending schools in time while many other are sending their proxies.
The new initiative has been taken up to check these unethical practices, informed a source.
The Directorate of School Education issued a notification on March 27 with regard to identification of teachers who have been sending their proxies to schools.
The notice directed Principals, Headmasters and Headmistresses of all Government and Government-aided schools to display photographs of all teachers posted in their respective schools along with names, qualifications, designations and home addresses.
It is said that many Government teachers, particularly those posted in interior areas of the State have been sending proxy teachers while they stay away from their respective schools.
