Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 19-
Cracking a whip to uphold educational integrity in the state, the Punjab School Education department today suspended two teachers deputed as a Superintendent and an Invigilator at Government Model Senior Secondary School (Boys), Gurdaspur (Examination Centre-241251) for their involvement in examination malpractices during the
ongoing class 10 board examinations.
This strict action was taken by the department on the directions of Harjot Singh Bains cabinet minister. Bains informed that the PSEB's Flying Squad teams uncovered a serious breach of examination protocols at GMSSS (Boys), Gurdaspur. During the Class-10 English examination conducted on March 17, the flying squad discovered that Invigilator Kirandeep Kaur, a Hindi Mistress, was improperly soliciting answers via WhatsApp on her mobile phone to assist students. This flagrant violation occurred under the watch of Examination Centre Superintendent Ashwani Kumar, Lecturer, who negligently permitted mobile devices inside the examination hall.
"Our government remains steadfast in its mission to provide qualitative education and ensure the sanctity of our examination system," stated Bains, adding that such transgressions undermine the very foundation of fair assessment and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
