RAJOURI, Feb 4: Chief Education Officer (CEO) Rajouri, Mohd Hafiz, today conducted a surprise inspection of several government educational institutions located within the Municipal limits of Rajouri and took strict disciplinary action against staff found guilty of dereliction of duty.
During the surprise visit, the CEO inspected Government High School (GHS) Jawahar Nagar, PM Shri Boys Middle School (BMS) Jawahar Nagar and Middle School (MS) Ward Number 8. The inspection revealed serious irregularities, particularly with regard to staff presence during school hours and non-compliance with established departmental norms, raising concerns about the effective delivery of education.
Taking immediate and stringent action, Mohd Hafiz ordered the suspension of three teachers posted at MS Ward Number 8, as their whereabouts were found to be unknown during working hours. In addition, he directed other defaulting staff members of the inspected schools to submit written explanations within two days, seeking clarification for the lapses observed during the inspection.
Expressing strong concern over the practice of staff remaining absent or on leave without proper authorization, the CEO stated that such negligence is adversely affecting the functioning of schools and seriously compromising the academic interests of students. He categorically stressed that attendance, punctuality and accountability are mandatory for all staff members and that no leniency will be shown in cases of indiscipline.
The CEO also emphasized the need to improve academic performance and classroom engagement, instructing heads of institutions to strictly monitor teaching staff and ensure adherence to the prescribed timetable. Reiterating the Education Department’s zero-tolerance policy towards indiscipline, Mohd Hafiz warned that any further laxity in duty will invite strict action under the relevant rules and regulations.
