Certificates of all secondary teachers were not checked

After the case of fraud in teacher recruitment came to light, the then Education Minister Arvind Pandey had given instructions to check the certificates of all teachers teaching children from class 1 to 12, but even after the minister’s instructions, the certificates of all secondary teachers were not checked in the department.

Investigation is done on the complaint of irregularities in teacher recruitment. If the case is found to be true, the service of the concerned teacher is terminated. If the department checks the certificates of all the candidates during recruitment, then the recruitment will not be done on time. – Ramkrishna Uniyal, Director Primary Education
