Agartala: Government
school teachers in Tripura will not be allowed to take private
tuitions for students, a strongly worded government circular has
said.
"If any teacher is found involved in private tuition for money,
severe appropriate actions would be taken against the erring
teachers," it said.
Tripura school education department director Sahadeb Das, who issued
the circular recently, told IANS Saturday: "Teachers of the
government and government-aided schools have engaged themselves in
private tuitions, thereby resorting to earning money."
"Such practice goes against the relevant provisions of the service
conduct rules in force, as the teachers are within the ambit of the
said rules," he added.
According to a report of the Delhi-based NGO Annual Status of
Education Report Center, 77.3 percent students from class 4 to class
8 in Tripura take paid tuitions, followed by 76 percent in West
Bengal and 55.8 in Bihar.
"Though the quantum of punishment of the guilty teacher is yet to be
finalised, at least the liable teacher would be transferred from his
place of posting," Das said.
According to the government notification, private tuitions by
government school teachers have been prohibited under the Right of
Children to Rree and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.
"The teachers are aware that their position in the society is looked
upon with a sense of respect, and it is expected that they would not
fail in discharging their responsibility by imparting education
through regular schooling in an effective manner," it said.
"The practice of private tuition hurts those students aspiring for
learning through regular schooling, since the teachers concerned
fail to devote their full energy to class work," the notification
stated.
