An Expert Committee will be formed and that will look into the issues of teachers in these two months.
Following widespread protest by the government schoolteachers across the state, the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to suspend its order for digital attendance of teachers till further orders.
An expert committee will be formed to listen to the problems and suggestions of teachers and then submit its report, said principal secretary, basic education, UP, MK Shanmuga Sundaram on Tuesday.
The committee will include education department officials, teachers’ union members and educationists etc. It will consider all aspects of education and give its suggestions for improvement. The decision on teachers’ digital attendance will be taken on the basis of the committee’s report, he added.
Lakhs of teachers and “Shiksha Mitras” (para teachers) in government schools have been opposing it tooth and nail since July 8, the first day of its implementation.
On July 8, only 2 percent of 6.09 lakh teachers recorded their attendance digitally. And on July 10, even fewer teachers did so. The protest grew louder with teachers hitting the streets across length and breath of the state.
