Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh has banned the digital attendance of teachers in schools for two months. Along with this, a committee has been formed to solve the technical problems arising in digital attendance.
Network problem is the biggest problem in schools
Teachers were protesting against digital attendance for many days. Teachers said that there was no road to reach many schools. Apart from this, there is a problem of network in schools. They were continuously protesting against it since July 8.
We welcome the government’s decision. The unity of teachers has won. The government should solve our basic issues. There are many difficulties in digital attendance. There will be no compromise with the dignity of teachers. – Niranjan Singh Nagar, District President, Junior Teachers Association
Teachers had started a hashtag to boycott digital attendance on Christmas
On 10th, teachers had run a hashtag on Boycott Digital Attendance System. The government has taken this decision considering the seriousness of the matter. Teachers say that this is the victory of their unity. They say that they will not stop here. They should get 31 earned leaves, 12 second Saturday leaves, semi-casual leave, Preetikar and study leaves like other employees.
We were not in agreement with the digital attendance system. The Chief Secretary has decided to postpone it for two months and form a committee. This is a big victory for teachers. We also hope that the committee will fulfill our demands before implementing such a system. Student interest is paramount for us and we will continue to do all the work for students as before. – Praveen Sharma, District President, Uttar Pradesh Primary Teachers Association
