Mainpuri (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 19 (ANI): Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav has criticised the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over the digital attendance system in state-run schools.
“The BJP has still not learned. They are not understanding what causes inconvenience to the common people. The decision regarding the digital attendance system shows that. The government has destroyed all the hopes and aspirations of the people. I thank people for voting smartly and all the conspiracies of the BJP have failed,” said Dimple Yadav.
Following controversies surrounding the digital attendance system, the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to form an expert committee under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary to address the problems and suggestions of teachers.
This committee will include officials of the Education Department, members of the Teachers’ Union, educationists, etc., and will listen to the problems and suggestions of teachers and submit its report. The committee will consider all the dimensions of education and give suggestions for improvement.
Digital attendance will be kept suspended till further orders. A decision will be taken on the basis of the committee’s report.
Additional Chief Secretary of Secondary Education Deepak Kumar, Principal Secretary of Basic Education Dr Shamuga Sundaram, Director General School Education Kanchan Verma, State President of Uttar Pradesh Primary Teachers’ Association Dr Dinesh Chandra Sharma, and other senior officials were present in the meeting.
Earlier, the Yogi government had issued instructions to implement a digital attendance system for both teachers and students to make state-run schools more digitally active. Under this system, both students and teachers would be required to mark their attendance using a face recognition system. (ANI)
