2 teachers, mid-day meal in-charge of Mukherjee Nagar school suspended

The Delhi government has ordered suspension of two teachers, a mid-day meal in-charge and the transfer of a principal and vice-principal of a school in Mukherjee Nagar after several irregularities were found during a surprise inspection.

Sanjay Goel, director of Directorate of Education (DoE), conducted a surprise inspection at the Government Boys Senior Secondary School in Mukherjee Nagar on Wednesday.

"Absent principal and vice-principal, dusty computer labs, watery mid-day meal curries, uncooked rice and dirty school campus were some of the irregularities found during the inspection. I have ordered suspension of two teachers and the mid-day meal in-charge. The principal and vice-principal of the school have been transferred," Goel said.

 

"It is not understood how during school hours both principal and vice-principal left the school in total chaos without any information to the staff," he said.

Goel was later told that the principal and vice-principal were at the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) for a hearing.
