Govt school principals get notices for laxity

District education officers were on Thursday directed to issue show-cause notices to the principals and teachers of three Delhi government schools in which anomalies were found during an inspection by education director Udit Prakash Rai.

During the inspection, which was conducted for supervising online classes, the principal of Government Girls Senior Secondary School in Qadipur in northeast Delhi was found absent.

The order stated, “She (the principal) was absent without any application for leave and the entire campus bore a deserted look. The director education noticed that cleanliness on the campus was not up to the mark. He also observed that the new dual desks were kept outside the classrooms. Teachers were found sitting together and not doing any academic activity.”

In the second school, Government Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in Burari in northeast Delhi, the show-cause notice would be served to a guest teacher and the head of the institution.

“When the guest teacher was questioned about the status of her online classes, she was not aware of the number of students participating in it. The status of online classes was not satisfactory,” the order stated.

Rai also observed that the teachers were not using tablets for conducting online classes.

In fact, they were found engaged in other administrative works, such as filling up teacher’s diary and School Management Committees bills, instead of the task for which they had been called.

At Government Co-ed Secondary School in Bhalswa village in north Delhi, books had not been distributed to the students.

The order for distributing the books following social distancing norms had been given in June.

The director also ordered the heads of schools and teachers to contact students through phone calls and WhatsApp if they were not calling them on their own.
