The suspension of a teacher, after allegations of illegal recruitment to government high schools, was recently revoked and the teacher reinstated without the consent of higher officers of the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL), leading to disciplinary action against the staff involved.
The department had recruited Assistant Teachers Grade-2 and Physical Education Teachers Grade-1 for government high schools in the academic years of 2012-13 and 2014-15 twice.
But, during recruitment, the department had allegedly issued appointment orders to 11 members illegally. Among these were those who got less marks in the recruitment examination, and some who never applied but got appointed by allegedly forging documents.
