Bihar Ends Arbitrary Leave Culture in Schools; New Strict Policy for Teachers Comes Into Force

Patna:The Bihar Education Department has introduced a stringent leave policy for school teachers to curb the long-standing practice of multiple teachers taking leave on the same day — a trend that has been severely affecting classroom teaching and delaying syllabus completion.

Taking serious note of this, the state government has now enforced clear and binding rules on teacher leave. No More Unapproved Leave Under the new policy, teachers will no longer be allowed to take leave at will. Primary Schools: Only one teacher can be granted leave per day.Middle/High Schools: A maximum of 10% of teachers may go on...
