Barabanki: 10 Govt Teachers Sacked for Extended Absences
In Barabanki, India, ten teachers were fired from their government schools because they didn't come to work for a long time.
The court told the education department to do this because too many teachers were missing school.
The teachers were gone for up to seven years without asking for time off.
The school tried to contact them, but they didn't respond.
This is part of a plan to make sure teachers show up and do their jobs so the schools can be better.
Ten government school teachers in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, were dismissed for prolonged unauthorized absences.
The dismissals followed Allahabad High Court directives to address teacher absenteeism.
The teachers had been absent for periods ranging from over a year to almost seven years without leave.
The Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) of Barabanki took action after repeated attempts to contact the teachers.
The dismissals are part of a larger effort to improve teacher accountability and reform the education system.
