Despite the efforts and claims of the higher-ups in Bihar's education sector, the department’s negligence prevails. The latest incident is connected to Motihari, where numerous teachers are in distress due to the department's oversight.
The reason for the teachers' troubles is astonishing. The 11th grade board exams are scheduled for tomorrow, and the 9th grade exams began on March 16. Thousands of students from 434 schools in the district are set to participate, yet their question papers are nowhere to be found for their teachers.
Teachers are toiling under the open sky, seeking papers without success. For the past three days, many educators are hunting for the question papers tagged with their school codes, yet they remain elusive. The future of thousands of students hangs in the balance.
Officials dodge accountability for the chaos.
If it rains, what will become of these paper bundles? When approached, the District Magistrate of Motihari dismissed the query, referring us to the District Education Officer, who, in turn, refused to comment. Meanwhile, the DPO, queried for information, retorted that media reporting can be both negative and positive, urging for a positive spin and implying some teachers disorganized the well-placed bundles searching for their own.
