The government’s decision to bring municipal schools in the State under the purview of the School Education Department has sent municipal school teachers into a huddle.
The department officials maintain that the move is aimed at ensuring holistic and comprehensive development of the civic schools on a par with the government and Zilla Parishad schools.
“While the proposal of the government is to ensure proper academic monitoring of the municipal schools by bringing them under the School Education Department, the Department of Municipal Administration wants complete takeover of the civic schools by the government,” said an official.
