RAJOURI, Oct 14: In a determined bid to enforce accountability and improve academic standards, Chief Education Officer Rajouri, Mohammad Hafiz, conducted extensive surprise inspections across several schools in Zone Khawas and Mougla, taking strong disciplinary action against staff found violating norms or neglecting their duties.
During his visit to HSS Teryath, the CEO observed complete mismanagement in the functioning of the school. Taking serious note, he served an explanation notice to the Principal for the administrative lapses and mismanagement in the school. Surkhi Lal, Lecturer in Botany, was also served with an explanation notice for availing leave without proper sanction.
At BMS Taryath, the CEO found eight teachers posted for only 29 students, a highly disproportionate ratio. Since the school building lies within the premises of HSS Taryath, he ordered its clubbing with HSS Teryath to ensure better utilization of staff.
At HS Daleri, the CEO found that Master Mohd Sagheer had availed maximum duty during the session, adversely affecting classroom teaching. His salary was withheld and a strict warning was issued to him.
He also visited the KGBV Girls Hostel Khawas, where he reviewed pending works.
At HSS Khawas, Maqbool Hussain, Lecturer in English, was found to have availed excess leave. His salary was withheld.
