Teachers in Rewa claimed fake diseases like brain tumor, kidney disease, many teachers have been posted in the same school for 37 years
Naiduniya representative, Rewa: The kind of excuses teachers make to get posted in a school of their choice has come to light from the government school Badrav in Rewa district. Ten teachers did not hesitate to declare themselves to be suffering from fatal diseases like brain tumor.
After the shocking case came to light, Rewa Collector Pratibha Pal said that it has come to light that postings were done by giving wrong information. District Education Officer Sudama Gupta has been directed to investigate. Apart from brain tumor, the teachers left no stone unturned to get themselves declared as suffering from kidney disease and disabled. Surprisingly, this information is recorded on the education portal.
Tricks to avoid transfer
According to RK Jain, Principal of Government Secondary School, Badrav, there are 34 teachers and one employee for 557 students in the school. Out of these, 10 surplus teachers are to be transferred. When the information was searched for this, then we came to know about their illness.
District Education Officer Sudama Gupta said that the transfer policy came in 2022. In this, employees suffering from serious illness have been exempted from transfer. To avoid transfer, some teachers played smart and got wrong feeding done on the portal.
Teachers are stuck at the same place for 37 years
Ignoring all the rules and regulations of transfer, teachers have been posted in the same school for 37 years, not 5-10. Two teachers have been serving in Badraav school for 37 years. Apart from this, two teachers have been posted here for 26 years, one for 14 years and another teacher for 10 years.
Here, there is a shortage of teachers in more than 50 schools in the district itself. In many schools, only four to five teachers are managing the entire system. Actually, Badraav School is just six km away from Rewa district headquarters and is listed in the rural area in the department’s list. This is the reason why the school remains the choice of teachers.
Teachers are on long leave
Vinay Krishna Tiwari, posted in the school since 2018, has also declared himself to be suffering from brain tumor. His father is on leave due to ill health. Bhagwat Prasad Pandey, posted since 1987, is also in the list of brain tumor patients. Brain tumor is also written in front of the names of Aditi Singh and MD Singh. Along with brain tumor, Divyang is also written in front of the name of Sudhakar Tiwari. Sources reveal that he is neither Divyang nor does he have brain tumor.
Serious diseases are registered against the names of 200 teachers in the district
Assistant Director Rajesh Mishra posted in the District Education Officer’s office said that there are 200 teachers in the district whose names are mentioned with serious illnesses in the list of surplus teachers. There are such cases from every block of the district. He said that the process of counselling of surplus teachers has been started from 28 August.
The matter of posting by giving wrong information has come to light. Instructions to investigate have been given to DEO Rewa. The teachers who have taken posting at one place after taking medical leave will be examined by the medical board. Pratibha Pal, Collector Rewa
