Several teachers were found absent without intimation, and discipline at the school was not found up to the mark.
Cracking down on alleged dereliction of duty and absenteeism among municipal teachers, the Municipal Corporation Delhi (MCD) has suspended a principal and 18 teachers while terminating 14 other contractual teachers.
A team of inspectors led by director (education), deputy commissioner Shahdara North Zone and members of the Monitoring Committee appointed by the Delhi high court visited an MCD primary school in Rajeev Nagar yesterday and found that its sanitary condition was poor, the MCD said in a statement.
Besides, several teachers were found absent without intimation, and discipline at the school was not found up to the mark, it said adding, principal Dharam Veer Singh was placed under suspension with immediate effect.
Seven regular teachers of the school have been placed under suspension as they were found absent without intimation. Contractual appointment of 14 teachers have been terminated with immediate effect for the same reason.
In a bid to give out a strong message that such laxity will not be tolerated, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi also sought explanation of the School Inspector concerned as "he had not visited the school for the last four months," it said.
Eleven regular teachers of an MCD primary school at Mukundpur in Civil Lines Zone have also been placed under suspension with immediate effect as they were also allegedly found to be absent without intimation. The action followed an inspection of the school by the deputy commissioner and deputy education officer of Civil Lines Zone.
The civic body has warned that dereliction of duty by teachers will be viewed seriously and absenteeism will not be tolerated.
