Teachers of UP Board refuses to resume evaluation of answer sheets due to COVID-19 fear

As UP Board teachers are upset over government order for resuming evaluation of UP Board high school and intermediate answer sheets from May 5, these teachers are all set to approach high court against the order.

According to state general secretary of Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shikshak Sangh (UPMSS) Thakurai faction Lal Mani Diwedi, Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad teachers have refused to resume evaluation of answer sheets at evaluation centers.

According to the



sources, general secretary of UPMSS said “On one hand, PM has extended the lock down, on the other state government is resuming evaluation work, involving movement of around 1.47 lakh teachers at 275 evaluation centers in state. UP is witnessing continuous rise in Covid cases while the secondary education department, with the deputy CM Dinesh Sharma as its minister, has been pressurizing teachers to begin evaluation. By all measures it is a risk prone exercise and the government is pushing teachers in trouble,”.
