    My wife is an assistant teacher (Eng H/PG) in a Govt. aided jr. high school joined through SSC in July 2011. She wants to do her B Ed (regular basis) from one of the colleges outside West Bengal with her own arrangement.

    Is she eligible for study leave ?

    If not, how can she apply for extra ordinary leave? And whether her service will be broken for taking this leave for doing B Ed, in her own arrangement ?

    Plz reply soon.
