In Bihar, certificates of 72,287 teachers are out of verification, in many districts including Sitamarhi, jobs are being done on fake documents, the department is preparing to take strict action.
SitamarhiThe issue of fake and doubtful certificates of teachers employed in Bihar is once again in the headlines, Recently, the Primary Education Department has admitted that the certificates of a total of 72,287 teachers across the state have not yet been verified, This number is frightening because the verification process has been going on for the last ten years, but has not been completed yet, There are thousands of teachers in many districts of the state including Sitamarhi, whose employment depends on dubious documents, According to departmental sources, as soon as the verification is completed, large scale action is certain, in which it is almost certain that many teachers will lose their jobs,
Departmental reports show that verification of the validity of more than 3.52 lakh teachers and librarians was pending, which included a large number of documents which the employing units did not send to the universities and boards for verification. There are already allegations of dereliction of duty against the secretaries of the planning units, but the department has now adopted a strict stance. Documents related to the employment of teachers are kept at the Panchayat, Block and District level, many of which were not made available. In such a situation, the message is strong that large-scale irregularities and fraud are hidden behind negligence.
where how many teachers
Meanwhile, Primary Education Secretary Dinesh Kumar has sent new instructions to the DPO (Comprehensive Education) of all the districts including Sitamarhi. It has been said in the letter that the educational and training certificates of teachers employed from 2006 to 2015 are being examined by the Bureau after the order of the High Court. For the first time, it has been clearly admitted in the departmental letter that 46,681 certificates at the Bihar Board level, 1,766 in Sanskrit Board, 5,450 in Madarsa Board and thousands of certificates in many universities have been waiting for verification for years. This situation shows how serious flaws are hidden in the planning system of Bihar.
72 thousand teachers punished
Especially if we talk about Sitamarhi district, here also a large number of teachers with old employment are under the ambit of this investigation. The department believes that once the verification process is completed, strict action will be taken against those with fake certificates, which may include immediate dismissal to criminal prosecution. This matter may take a bigger shape in the coming months, because the authenticity of the papers will now decide the future of more than 72 thousand teachers. This is considered to be the biggest action to make the education system transparent in Bihar, the effect of which will be visible in the entire state including Sitamarhi.
