BHOPAL: This Children’s Day, it would be school teachers who would take oath in front of the students. The seven point oath includes points like - I will take class regularly and I will come to school every day. Not overtly but the teachers have started expressing their displeasure over the new directive.
Commissioner school education Jaishri Kiyawat issued the instructions late Monday making it (oath taking) mandatory and part of Children’s day celebrations in all schools across the state. The instructions said that besides other programmes on Children’s Day, all teachers of the school will be administered oath.
The oath will be administered by the principal to all teachers after prayer assembly amidst students. School education department has provided a seven point oath to all schools.
Though teachers have refused to comment on record but most of them have expressed their displeasure over such diktat. “‘This is a sort of humiliation exercise, that too in front of students,’’ said a senior teacher.
“We will request the authorities to change it a little. The format of oath should be made in a manner that teacher and students both can take it together,” said a teacher.
