Bihar teachers ordered to attend five-day training during festival break
The Story in Brief
The Bihar Education Project Council has ordered principals and head teachers of 836 PM-Shri schools across the state to attend a five-day residential training on academic leadership from 7 to 11 November. State project director Navdeep Shukla issued the directive, instructing district education officers to send the concerned head teachers to the programme.
The training coincides with a pre-scheduled holiday period for festivals. Teachers have voiced discontent, arguing that the programme could have been held after the holidays. They said the order disrupts family time and social and religious traditions. It remains unclear whether the department will reconsider the dates.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The five-day training, set for 7 to 11 November, runs exactly when schools are closed for festivals. Teachers who planned family time or religious observance now face a mandatory residential programme. The Bihar Education Project Council has not indicated whether the dates will be revised, leaving 836 PM-Shri schools across the state waiting to see if the order stays or changes.
