No. 224(3)-SSE/12, Dated: 05.06.2012
From : Shri Vikram Sen, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of West Bengal
To : 1. President, West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education
2. President, West Bengal Board of Secondary Education
3. President, West Bengal Board of Primary Education
Sub: Extension of summer vacation in view of the present heat wave.
Sir/ Madam,
In continuation to this office letter No. 186(3)-SSE/12 dated 14.5.2012 this is to state that in view of the present heat wave prevailing over almost the entire State it has been decided to further extend the summer vacation till 17.6.2012. This is subject to condition that the extended summer vacation will be subsequently adjusted so that academic calendar for the current academic session is not disturbed, if necessary through undertaking extra classes after reopening. It is however clarified that such extension of the summer vacation will be only in respect of students attending schools. But the school office should remain open in case of Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools so to ensure that the admission process of students in Higher Secondary classes are not affected.
This may please be treated as urgent.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/- Vikram Sen
Principal Secretary to the
Government of West Bengal
it was pleasure to hear a news about the extension of summer vacation. The decision is very correct in my view. Mamta banerjee is doing excellent job for the students of west bangal. Maa mati manush ki jai.
I think that the officials and minister of our department has no ability to take and issue clear decision and orders especially when it is related to Primary teachers/Schools.
You may have remember
1. that the order issued for the admission on lottery basis was also confusing.
2.The age of admission in Class 1 was instructed 5+ years but it was contradictory to the Right to Education Act which says it would be 6+ years.
3.In their recent order for enhancement of teachers qualification also a lot of confusion and contradiction are there along with several points unanswered.It has been said in this order that subsequently clarification will be given.Then what was the purpose of issuing that vague,unlawful, unconstitutional order hastily.
Thus it is clear that the government is creating nothing but hurdles in the Primary Education.
Murshidabad dpsc has declared,this extended holidays are also for teachers.
Please inform me what is for junior high schools…
I am a primary school teacher of coochbehar district.our DPSC have declared extended vacation too.But will it be cut from any other vacation to adjust 65 days leave.
As far as Kolkata Primary School Council (KPSC) is concerned, we, i.e the teachers of KPSC will enjoy the extended vacation till 17 th June as per the order. It was confirmed by our Council’s Honourable Chairman Mr Kartick Chandra Manna. So, please contact your respective Council Chairman to confirm.
And this is for Mr Kaushik Mondal. Sir, please be aware that Govt has aptly understood that not only the Students but also the Primary teachers feel the HEAT. Even God has turned out to be generous too. There was a heavy downpour in and around Kolkata this evening. So enjoy the cool temper and the weather too. Cheers !!
So far as the order goes the school office should remain open for the Secondary and Higher secondary sections to ensure that the admision process is not affected.But what will the Asst. teachers do during that extended period of vacation? The teachers are meant for the students at school.When the students are not coming what will the teachers do? It has also been said that after reopening extra classes may be taken so that academic calender for this academic session is not disturbed.What do these extra classes mean ?Is it a dormant desire of the Govt. to increase the school timing- from 4:30 to 5:00 pm.
The order of extension summer vacation is not clear for pry. School teacher. What they do without pupils in hot weave?
I m a primary teacher,and I m in my home town in BIHAR,my returning reservation is on 6/6/12 (today),.I have read the notice that is issued from education department but i m not clarified with this notice about primary school and primary teacher…..so tell me,what shoul I do,,,?
There is a confution about the teachers of Mardrasah. Are not they includ of this order ? More over, if the students will not come what can do teacher to go to school ? It’s inhumanic for the teachers .
Theyu should think about d teachers who travel long distances to teach school. Because after SSC or MSC , most teachers got the job far from their home. It is inhumanic to ask their presence in this hour. U can argue other govt or semi govt workers attend their duty as well regularly. But thers are table work. Our customers r students. So if they r not supposed to come , then what will we do ? We request to reconsider the decision , all teachers should get respite from this heat.
Mr zia ur RAHAMAN …Please don’t urge about the distance from ur home and ur work place … if u have problem for the distance then why should not u leave the job ….. the unemployee peopls in india are dying to got a govt job and u r asking for suitable place near ur home….. …justtin what u talking …. i am also a govt eployee nd my wrk place is far from my hme….
the circulars or orders from our school department is quiet hazy as ever. there are no clear order for primary school teachers. what they should do??? the remuneration of a primary teacher is very low, so it is supposed to be they are not included among the so called ‘human being’ by our state. if so, there must be clear order for primary teachers because in this time there are no admission process is going in primary schools. thanks our school department for extension of summer vacation…..
We are confused by this order.whats the sugetion about primary teachers? Will the pry school still open? -Md Asmat Ali & S.Saha
Chatro na thakle mastamasaira gea korbeta ke?
i’m in a h.s. school. is it necessary 4 teaching staff 2 join school after vacation? is this days will be included in 65 days or not.plz reply soon. thanks
What about d teachers of upper primary or junior high schools???
What about teachers? Won’t they feel the heat? This is bad!!
primary school should be open? or not? primary teachers what they do?
primary school office should be open? or not?primary teachers what they do?
Concerned Order is hazy. The last four lines (But the school office …. are not affected.) are of no use with respect of the message of the order. If last four lines are omitted, the order convey some meaning. Otherwise what will do the Primary Teachers ?
I’m a primary teacher….what’ld we do without pupils? we’ve not the admission activities like secondary&h.s school. I can’nt b able to ensure about the order about us i.e primary teachers….thanx a lot..good night
