LAKKI MARWAT
Taking serious notice of the MA/MSc examinations, the district education officer warned the teachers (invigilating staff) to get back to the schools rather than performing exam duties, sources said on Friday.
They said that the University of Lakki Marwat was conducting MA/MSc examinations and the teachers of various state-run schools had been assigned invigilation duties.
The sources said that the practice was done without the approval and recommendations of the district education officer.
“After coming to know about the duties of the government schools teachers, The DEO (M) Zahoor Ahmed Afridi warned the teachers to go back to their schools as soon as possible”, an official of the education department, pleading anonymity, told.
The sources said that the University administration was supposed to hold the examination during schools vacations and holidays as now the students session was in progress, adding that the administration had chosen blue-eyed teachers for the invigilating staff without the recommendations of the DEO Lakki Marwat.
The sources said that the DEO wanted the teachers to complete their courses to the students who had already been suffered due to Covid-19 rather than performing their examination duties being conducted by the University of Lakki Marwat.
The letter issued to the teachers and sub-divisional education officers (SDEOs) stated that stern action would be taken against them if the teachers who were performing University exams duties were found absent from the schools.
Meanwhile, parents of the students lauded the step taken by the DEO for the interest of the students.
