Students in a spot as teachers attending transfer counselling say no to two govt schools in Pudukkottai
New Indian ExpressPUDUKKOTTAI: A host of “issues” between the school staff and the school management committee in two government schools under Aranthangi education block of the district have left the educational institutions without a headmaster or any permanent teachers for the past two weeks. While school education department sources said the teachers who were working in the institutions, particularly in the Kasimpudupettai middle school, took voluntary transfer and left, parents worry that no teacher opting to join the schools despite two phases of transfer counselling recently getting over in the district would affect the education of the students. Owing to all teachers who had worked earlier in the two schools under contention going for voluntary transfer over unresolved “issues” between the school administration and the school management committee, none of the teachers opted for the institutions in the recent transfer counselling, sources said. When enquired, a district-level school education department official told TNIE, "Teachers did not opt for the two schools during the counselling sessions held on July 1 and July 15.
