Nagaland begins crackdown on proxy teachers

438 teachers from different districts directed to report immediately to their respective schools and send two photographs of every working day, unless directed otherwise, to DoSE

Kohima, February 15 (MExN): In an exercise to cleanse the education system of proxy teachers ‘appointed’ by regular employees, the Department of School Education (DoSE) has issued a directive that requires erring teachers to report to their places of posting and email photographic evidence to the department.

Earlier in November 2019, the DoSE conducted a verification drive where it was detected that 438 teachers from different districts in the state had kept proxy teachers in their place of posting and violating of Rule 4 of The Nagaland Government Servants Conduct Rules, 1968.  

The teachers, whose names have been listed in the department website education.nagaland.gov.in, have been directed to immediately report to their respective schools and send two photographs of them (one in front of the school, and the second one teaching inside the classroom) to the mail id empreports.dosenl@gmail.com, every working day, unless directed otherwise, from their own email ids registered with the department.

Those do not have email ids or do not know their email ids registered with the department should submit the same through the concerned SDEO/DEO, the order stated.

Failure to comply with the directive would lead to initiation of strict disciplinary action including suspension/termination from service.
