LUCKNOW: District Inspector of All Schools (DIOS) Rakesh Kumar Pandey has issued show cause notices to 15 private schools due to the absence of their teachers during board examination duties.
According to Pandey, approximately 60 teachers from these 15 schools failed to fulfill their obligations as board exam invigilators. He highlighted a recurring issue where private schools tend to keep their teachers engaged in regular teaching activities, neglecting their responsibilities to serve as exam invigilators.
Pandey pointed out that the fault lies with the schools rather than the individual teachers.Consequently, the notices have been directed at the schools themselves rather than the teachers specifically.
