3 teachers transferred to Muktsar primary school

Muktsar, August 2

After a news report “One-man show at Muktsar school” appeared in these columns on Tuesday, the district Education Department immediately swung into action and posted three more teachers to the institute at Jawahrewala village.

The move comes after the report highlighted that a single teacher was catering to 175 students at Government Primary School, Jawahrewala village. District Education Officer (Primary) Prabhjot Kaur said, “Two teachers have already joined duty in the school at Jawahrewala village and I am issuing the posting orders of another one. Now, there will be four teachers as one is already posted there.”

Notably, the school earlier had five teachers, but three of them were transferred recently and another one was shifted three months ago.

Meanwhile, village sarpanch Varinder Dhillon said, “Earlier, the students were suffering due to an acute shortage

of teachers. If more teachers are now sent to the school, then it will definitely prove helpful for them.”
