  5. If one teacher attend school at appointed hour but compelled to leave school at 3pm,i.e.,before close of the school hour,by informing HM the emergency in the house.In this situation what will be the decision according to the current circular?

  6. I am sanskrit teacher in pass category in secondary school and in DISE my name is as upper primary teacher. Am I eligible for regular B.Ed in 2013?

  7. if any teacher is unable to undergo bed training due to some reason(say he or she is on long leave
    without salary due to some personal reason)within 31.03.2015 will he/she be sacked?can’t she get any consideration for not losing her job?i need ur urgent reply.

  11. It ia a fake circular. Ignore it. If a HM takes 3 days on duty in a week then who will monitor all those rules? There should be some hard rule for the HMs also to control their autocracy.

  12. Please post the Memo No. CIRCULAR No. 1211(43)-SE(S.E.)/14M-193/2011, Date: 21.02.2013 FOR TWO DAYS CASUAL LEAVE FOR BANDH

  13. Yesterday Edu. Minister said for upper primary (v to viii) non trained teacher will be trained through Netaji Subhash Open. Is the B.Ed training will conduct through distance learning method for non trained teacher of High or higher secondary school? Will the increment stop for 5 year experienced non trained teacher?

    • “In case of calculation of increments under the revised pay structure, paise should be ignored but any amount of a rupee or more should be rounded off to the next multiple of 10” .. clarified vide School Education Memo No. 181-SE(B) dated 08.10.2009.

      Ans: 500/-

  16. some of the schools in kolkata are still not following the circular giving an excuse that classes for children & girls are held in the same premises in the morning, but these schools have not extended their school hours.

    • It is absolutely an escape path for the schools in the same premises in the morning and though these schools primarily had been utilizing the normal class/appointed hour less in time than the day secondary Schools,again this circular showered them blessings (?) further as much as these schools have been presented to utilize minus 20/30 minutes further.

  17. P.S —> 10-35AM( appointed hour) ,10-40(daily assembly), 10-45-11.05(late attendance),11.05- closing time
    ‘Head of an Institution and all members of the Staff, teaching and non-teaching, should attend School at the appointed hour and shall not leave before the School closes for the day.'(Memo No. N/S/212, Date: 20.03.2013)

    • According to circular no ON DUTY for HEAD MASTER. But if HEAD MASTER take 6 or 7 ON DUTY and reach school after 12 noon for 7 0r 8 days on record in every month then is there any punishment for HEAD MASTER ?

  18. if any pedagogic councilor makes a childish remark intertwined with LATE ATTENDANCE at first and intends to intrude into a biasing mental perception with pseudo tormenting attitude as “is it practicable to have the same time of attendance for both the teachers and Gr. D staff”(what wrong about the gifted Headmaster..!)- a latecomer teacher,a Gr D staff and a latecomer Headmaster will not have been tending on a same manner.Lame excuse will then be the only escape path of the Headmaster as i said earlier(if any Headmaster/Headmistress takes it for granted to record a late attendance against a teacher(keeping him/her as a separate personality alienating from the teaching and Non teaching staff )

  20. If late attendance is counted from the starting time of class,howfar is it “compulsory” to attend assembly?

    If Gr D employees attend school after assembly but before start of classtime,who is entrusted with the duties like opening of classrooms
    ,ringing of bells before assembly? Is it practicable to have the same time of attendance for both the teachers and Gr. D staff like previous one?

    • Mr.Asis
      Nothing is impossible if the Head of the Institution makes his/her mind set up to remain present at the school from its starting time to its end( as per the circular). Purposefully and vindictively if any Headmaster/Headmistress takes it for granted to record a late attendance against a teacher(keeping him/her as a separate personality alienating from the teaching and Non teaching staff) for even a second,nullifying the congenial plethora of the circular — the academic atmosphere may be succumbed and the Headmaster/Headmistress will be a ‘paper tiger’ without any humane.
