Seven teachers, including two chief invigilators, have been suspended on charges of allowing SSLC students to write the examination wearing hijab in Gadag district.
The action came after a video of the girl students writing the examination wearing hijab was telecast in a section of the media. The incident reportedly occurred at examination centres at C.S. Patil Boys High School and C.S. Patil Girls High School in Gadag.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction Basavalingappa G.M. issued the order suspending the teachers for “allowing the students to write the examination wearing hijab in violation of the High Court order”.
