Patna: All 1.30 lakh teachers who have been transferred within Bihar will receive their new school allotments by June 20 and are required to join their new postings by June 30. The announcement was made on Saturday by S Siddharth, additional chief Secretary of the state's education department.
Transferred teachers will be automatically relieved from their previous postings upon joining the newly allotted schools.
Responding to queries during his weekly programme Shiksha ki Baat – Har Shanivaar, Siddharth urged transferred teachers not to make unnecessary visits to the district education office (DEO), stressing that the school allocation process is being conducted with complete transparency.
He also addressed concerns about students not receiving their textbooks before the summer holidays.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the issue, he assured that textbooks would be made available immediately after the holidays. "I will personally review the matter and take action against those found guilty," he said.
During his address, Siddharth also shared several suggestions for parents. He recommended creating dedicated reading corners at home to help children develop a focused study environment. He stressed the importance of attending every parent-teacher meeting to stay updated on their children's academic progress and to identify areas where additional support may be needed.
He suggested recognising children selected as 'Student of the Week' in front of their parents to boost their confidence.
Reminding parents that holiday homework had been given before the summer break and is also available on the department's website, he encouraged children to enjoy their holidays with family, either by travelling or taking part in summer camps organised by the department.
