CHANDIGARH: To make Punjab government’s ‘Mission-100 Percent’ campaign a success, state school education minister Harjot Singh Bains directed district education officers to deploy 749 block and district mentors of science, mathematics and English/social studies in schools.
At present, 680 teachers of these subjects have been deployed on field duty as block mentors and 69 teachers as district mentors, instead of teaching in schools.
Bains said he had received reports from some districts that departmental rules were not followed when making these deployments, which clearly state that no mentors be deployed in middle schools, but only one mentor in single-teacher middle schools can be deployed.
