Dept seeks data on teachers, students in govt middle schools

The Education Department has directed the District Elementary Education Officers (DEEOs) to obtain information regarding the teaching staff and student strength in Government Middle Schools of Haryana.

As per information, the Director-General (DG) of the Elementary Education Department, in a letter, has directed the DEEOs to provide the details by May 6. The department has sought class-wise enrolment in classes VI to VIII, as on March 18, and the working staff position in the schools, as on May 2.

The DEEOs have been asked to send the actual position of TGTs, classical and vernacular, and elementary school headmasters (guest, regular and engaged through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited). The DG has further directed the DEEOs not to take data from the Management Information System (MIS) portal of the department, and only send the actual data from schools. In case of any error in data, disciplinary action will be taken against officials.

An official in the Education Department said a general transfer drive was expected soon, and before that, the department was obtaining information regarding the actual staff and student strength in the middle schools. Though the data was available on the portal, sometimes due to offline admissions in some government schools, there can be a difference in data. The department wanted to ensure adequate teacher deployment. It would also help with the rationalisation and transfer of teachers.

The DEEO, Ambala, Sudhir Kalra, said: “A letter has been received and instructions have been issued to all middle schools through the Block Education Officers to send their data at the earliest, so that it can be forwarded by May 6. A transfer drive is expected to be conducted in June. The department keeps collating data from the field, so that the teachers can be ensured in the schools as per the enrolment of students.”
