Teachers across Madhya Pradesh were unable to mark logout attendance on the Humare Shikshak app on Thursday due to a technical glitch, leaving many stuck at schools after working hours. The Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) recently made six-hour duty and app-based attendance mandatory, with non-compliance inviting departmental action. Freepress Journal reports that an instruction later said the system would auto-logout teachers who had already logged in. The glitch followed the department's decision to make the app the sole mode of attendance, ending website access. Increased traffic on the app may have caused the problem.
