Video shows teachers marking exam papers at dhaba while smoking and drinking; sacked
Raised concerns about the teacher’s professionalism and overall conduct
A viral video on Wednesday showed teachers of a private school in the district marking examination papers while smoking and drinking at a roadside 'dhaba' (eatery), leading to their termination.
The video, which raised concerns about the teachers' professionalism and overall conduct, circulated widely on social media, creating outrage.
Government education officer Trupti Andhare told reporters that the school management sacked the teachers immediately after the video, apparently shot with a mobile phone, went viral.
"We have sought a detailed explanation from the school," she added.
Another Education Officer, Sanjay Kshirsagar, said he had received preliminary information about the matter.
"If the misconduct is confirmed, a formal inquiry will be initiated," he said.
