Discrepancies: Govt primary school in-charge suspended

The Education Department has suspended the in-charge of Government Primary School, Giaspura, Nisha Rani, with immediate effect. Confirming the matter, the DEO, Elementary, Ravinder Kaur, said several discrepancies were found in the school and the in-charge had even refused to cooperate with the inquiry officer Gurdeep Singh.

The DEO said there were bogus attendance of students, dummy admissions and fund embezzlement in the school. The teachers were threatened to remain tight-lipped. “We had visited the school twice but there was no cooperation from Nisha Rani and the entire matter was brought to the notice of the higher authorities. On Thursday, she was suspended,” the DEO said.

The issue of bogus attendance at the school was also highlighted in these columns in the past.
