Madhya Pradesh Teachers Stuck as Humare Shikshak App Logout Glitches
Teachers in the state of Madhya Pradesh use a phone app called Humare Shikshak to mark when they start and end their workday.
On Thursday, the app had a technical problem, so teachers could not mark that they were leaving.
Because of this, many teachers were stuck at their schools even after their work time was over.
The education department now requires teachers to use this app to show they worked at least six hours a day.
Teachers who do not follow the attendance rules could face departmental action.
Officials sent a message to schools saying there was a technical problem with the logout feature.
The message said teachers who had already logged in would be logged out automatically by the system.
The problem may have happened because so many teachers were using the app at the same time.
Earlier, teachers could mark attendance on a website, but now the app is the only way to do it.
Teachers across Madhya Pradesh could not mark logout attendance through the Humare Shikshak app on Thursday due to a technical glitch.
Several teachers were left stuck at their schools even after their working hours had ended.
The Directorate of Public Instruction has made e-attendance mandatory and requires teachers and school employees to complete six hours of duty.
Schools were told that logout of teachers who had already logged in would be completed automatically by the system.
The glitch followed the department making the app the sole mode of attendance after website-based marking was stopped, increasing traffic on the app.
