Odisha teachers’ boycott Plus Two answer sheet evaluation

With teachers agitating before evaluation centres, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) Odisha has convened an emergency meeting of the examination committee today to make alternative arrangements.

The Council has also decided on taking disciplinary action against the agitating teachers who prevent others from participating in the examination process.

“Stopping of evaluation of answer papers is not acceptable. Punitive action can be taken against them. They (teachers) are warned of disciplinary action. I have called an emergency meeting of the examination committee tomorrow to discuss alternative arrangements,” CHSE chairman Basudeb Chhatoi told reporters.

The teachers bodies involved in the agitation, however, said they had no alternative than boycotting the evaluation process.

“The government has assured us several times to resolve the issue, but never fulfilled the promise,” said Ajay Samal, a leader of agitating teachers.

Stating that this block grant system existed in Odisha alone, Samal said the state government should accept the teachers’ demand.
