15 teachers dismissed in Buxar over selection irregularities
Buxar: Education department on Friday dismissed 15 teachers in Buxar who were appointed through the teachers' recruitment examination (TRE), citing serious irregularities in their selection. The action was taken by district education officer, Amarendra Kumar Pandey. According to official sources, 14 of the dismissed teachers are residents of Uttar Pradesh (UP), who fraudulently claimed the benefits of reservation meant exclusively for candidates with domicile of Bihar. In addition to this, these teachers secured less than the required 60% marks in the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), making them ineligible under the general category. One more teacher was dismissed for not studying Urdu at the Intermediate level, despite being appointed as an Urdu teacher. The DEO cited official correspondence from the director of secondary education (letter no. 1341; May 15, 2024) and deputy director (letter no. 1507; July 15, 2024), which stated that reservation benefits are not to be extended to non-residents of Bihar. Based on these directives, the appointments were reviewed and subsequently invalidated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo Prior to their dismissal, all teachers were issued notices seeking clarifications.

SC denies pre-arrest bail to woman caught writing CTET on sister's behalf
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a woman's anticipatory bail plea after she was booked on charges of impersonation and attempting to write the Central Teacher Eligibility Test Examination pretending to be her sister. The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is a national level examination conducted twice in a year by the CBSE for appointment of educators in Central government schools like KVS (Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan) and the NVS (Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti). "Her custodial interrogation would be needed in the case," a bench comprising Justices Sandeep Mehta and Prasanna B Varale said while declining the pre-arrest bail plea in the case. The bench asked her to surrender to police for an effective investigation. Kumari Sharda, who hails from Bahadurpur village in Darbhanga district, was caught while trying to appear in the CTET in place of her elder sister, the police said. Her biometric and Aadhaar details did not match with that of the real examinee, they added. The prosecution said Sharda allegedly accepted her guilt at the exam Centre. The trial court in Samastipur and the Patna High Court subsequently on April 23 dismissed her anticipatory bail plea. She was booked under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for offences, including impersonation and cheating in Samastipur. PTI
