MP Teachers To Get Relief For Genuine E-Attendance Delays

Teachers in Madhya Pradesh must record their attendance electronically.

Some teachers have opposed the mandatory system.

The education department plans to let cluster principals help when teachers face genuine delays.

These principals may consider technical or practical problems.

About 98% of teachers are already recording attendance every day.

Teachers who lost money from their June salaries may be paid if they used the system regularly in July and August.

Teachers who are often late or do not record attendance may still face salary deductions.

The department is expected to explain the new rules in a circular soon.
