The dilemma faced by municipal corporation school teachers regarding completing the syllabus amidst upcoming exams and additional election duties, including the Maratha Aarakshan census, has raised concerns about students’ education. The teachers think they will be unable to finish the syllabus before the exam. Mumbai Mahanagar Palika Shikshak Sena has urged the Municipal Commissioner I S Chahal to reconsider assigning election duties to teachers, emphasising the importance of prioritising teaching over administrative tasks.
K P Naik, president of Mumbai Mahanagar Palika Shikshak Sena, said, “The exams and Lok Sabha Elections are approaching. The teachers are torn between completing the syllabus and election duties. I am not sure what is more important for the government. Getting election duties done by the teachers or teachers teaching and shaping the newer generations who will be the future of the nation. We’ve written to the municipal commissioner.” He added, “Earlier, we had also written similar letters to the Hon’ble Governor and various officials of the Election Commission and Education Department. But it seems the letters have fallen on deaf ears and the government is not at all concerned with the nation’s future.”
