Mishra confirmed that the collector received a complaint regarding the school, prompting his visit. "We found that principal Alok Sisodia was absent for two days. The attendance register and other records have been checked, and a report is being prepared for submission to the senior office for further action," Mishra stated.
The Higher Secondary School in Malpha has been under scrutiny recently due to its abysmal academic performance, with a reported zero percent pass rate in the last session. Despite the government disbursing around Rs 72 lakh in salaries during the academic year, the school's results were nil. This has raised concerns about potential irregularities in rural education.
Collector Fating, who had recently instructed teachers and principals to ensure their presence in schools, has now initiated an investigation into the matter.
The villagers have expressed their gratitude to collector Fating for his prompt action and commitment to improving education in the area.
