The system of recording online attendance of teachers of council schools has been postponed for the time being. This decision was taken after a meeting of teachers organisations with Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh here on Tuesday. Now an expert committee will be formed in which there will be officials as well as educationists and then it will be implemented. Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh claimed that the decision was taken on directions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who advocated that quality of education in schools should be improved and other shortcomings removed and only then the government would be able to accomplish the goal set by the prime minister for world class education in the country. He said that now necessary steps, including online attendance, would be taken after the expert committee would submit its report. The online attendance system was implemented on July 8 and since then teachers are continuously opposing it. Primary Teachers Association president Dinesh Chandra Sharma and Uttar Pradesh BTC Teachers Association president Anil Yadav have expressed happiness over this decision of the government. Earlier all opposition political parties, including Congress, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, had supported the teachers agitating against the online attendance system.
