BHUBANESWAR: School and mass education minister Samir Ranjan Dash has asked the district education officers (DEOs) to engage teachers from schools that won’t reopen soon, or retired teachers, in high schools with inadequate staff strength to ensure 100 days of classroom study for class X and XII students.
“If we cannot do 100 days of classroom teaching, we may not complete the course on time,” Dash said. He added that DEOs had been asked to appoint retired teachers in high schools and to divert PG teachers from elementary schools to high schools with high teacher vacancy.
Teachers said it would be stressful for them and students to attend classes for 100 days straight. “Teachers have household responsibilities and health issues to address too. We are requesting the government to let at least Sundays be holidays,” said Prakash Chandra Mohanty, secretary of Odisha Secondary School Teachers’ Association.
