DPI order to
govt teachers Chandigarh, April 16 A number of government school teachers have been asked to evaluate answersheets of classes-X and XII examinations conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. At present teachers are reporting directly to the evaluation centres in the morning. As per the DPI’s instructions, teachers would have to carry out their normal teaching activities till the school time was over before they could proceed to the evaluation centres. Some of the teachers engaged in evaluating answersheets said that this would slow down the evaluation process. Several head examiners had already reported that the evaluation work was proceeding at a slower pace than
required. |
