In a first, teachers from a private school in Mumbai, which doesn’t receive any grant or aid from the government, have been ordered to join poll duty. Generally, teachers and staff from government schools or those that receive grants for aid from the government are roped in for election work. The staff has also been warned that if they failed to participate in election duty and training, the police would issue summons against them and register an FIR.
The upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024 has disrupted the summer vacation of teachers at the Borivli-based MKVV International Vidyalaya School. The election committee informed teachers that they were required for election duty. Two days ago, an election officer visited the school and handed over a letter to the teachers about the duty call and that it would be preceded by a training session.
