Patna: The Bihar
government has sacked 151 primary school teachers after they
failed to clear two consecutive eligibility tests, officials
Thursday said.
The education department has ordered that they be sacked after
they failed two consecutive eligibility tests conducted in 2010
and 2011 by the State Council for Educational Research and
Training.
"These teachers have been sacked," said Asutosh, director, primary
education, who had issued the order. They were tested for
knowledge of English, Mathematics, Hindi and General Knowledge for
up to Class 5.
Education officials in various districts have been asked to comply
with the order within 15 days.
According to officials in the education department, however, there
is a provision for such action in regulations for recruitment of
fixed pay teachers in state-run schools.
A few years ago, the state government had sacked 15,000 teachers
for having submitted fake degrees and certificates for recruitment
in state-run schools.
Bihar has been conducting such eligibility tests for school
teachers since 2008.
