The recent termination of 775 secondary school teachers on charges of alleged irregularities in their appointments, won’t affect the publication of Madhyamik results, the state education board president said on Saturday.
The school service commission (SSC) on Friday cancelled the job recommendations issued to 775 teachers because they got their jobs allegedly through manipulation of marks.
Board president Ramanuj Ganguly said in response to a question: “The termination of these teachers did impact the invigilation process in 159 centres because 185 of 618 (the number rose to 775 on Friday) teachers were in charge of invigilation for the examination on mathematics on Thursday and physical science on Friday. We had instructed the DIs (district inspector of schools) to arrange replacements”.
“But the termination won’t affect evaluation of scripts because we have 41,000 examiners working under experienced head examiners. The results would be published by the last week of May, as announced previously”.
The invigilation process got affected as the high court on Wednesday upheld the SSC’s decision to cancel the appointment of 618 teachers. It rose to 775.
Close to 7 lakh examinees wrote the examination in 2,867 centres.
