DODA: Hundreds of students of Government Middle School, Prabal, and Government Primary School, Sumdarvas, and their parents have been holding repeated protest demonstrations against the abrupt transfer of teachers.
These schools have just two teachers each to cater to about 200 students. Residents of Prabal village .told HT that instead of providing more teaching staff to the school, the Education Department transferred one of its teachers to Government Primary School, Sumdarvas. Besides, a Rehbar e-Taleem (ReT) teacher who had been serving at the Sumdarvas School for years has been transferred to Government High School, Barri. This has resulted in• acute shortage of teachers in both the schools.
Villagers alleged that the officers concerned transferred both the teachers without consulting village-level committees (VLCs).
