Massive Fraud In Bihar Teacher Recruitment: 24,000 Candidates At Risk Of Losing Job
Bihar Teacher Recruitment Scandal: As per the latest scandal, around 24,000 teachers are the risk of losing their jobs due to fake certificates and degrees.
The Bihar
teachers' recruitment scheme has been controversial since the first results
were declared. The government kept shifting its goalposts and criteria as
candidates challenged the results before the court. There were allegations of
recruitment in return for cash and claims that meritorious students were
ignored to accommodate candidates for whom canvassing was done. Now, the
allegations appear to be true as the latest expose has rang alarm bells through
the Nitish Kumar-led administration, said multiple reports.
As per the
latest scandal, around 24,000 teachers are the risk of losing their jobs due to
fake certificates and degrees. It came to light after the recent counselling
sessions held for 1.87 lakh candidates who cleared the recruitment test. During
the screening, significant discrepancies emerged risking the candidature while
raising questions about the candidates' teaching credentials, according to
reports.
From December 1
to 13 of last year, counselling sessions were held for a significant number of
teachers. However, approximately 42,000 teachers did not receive counselling,
with over 3,000 of them absent from the sessions. It is important to note that
biometric verification was not completed for more than 10,000 of these
teachers. The education department has assured that those who missed this
opportunity will have another chance after the Chhath festival this year.
During the screening, it came to
light that many candidates submitted fake mark sheets. This is in addition to
around 4,000 candidates caught earlier with falsified credentials. Alarmingly,
approximately 80% of these individuals scored below the necessary 60% threshold
on their mark sheets, and 20% were discovered to have falsified several
certificates, including those pertaining to disability, caste, residency, and
sports.
Now,
the government is mulling not only job termination but also recovery of
salaries paid to the allegedly fraud teachers. The issues has raised serious
question on the selection process.
