Teachers Object to Guiding Students Through FYJC Application Process
The Maharashtra government is asking teachers to help students fill out their online applications for First Year Junior College (FYJC).
However, teachers are not happy about this.
They feel that the government is trying to hide the fact that the online application website isn't working well by making teachers do extra work.
Teachers say the government should fix the website problems instead of asking them to help out, especially since schools are on vacation.
Teachers in rural areas are particularly frustrated because they think the online process is difficult to use.
Directorate of Secondary Education asks schools to assist students with FYJC application forms.
Teachers express discontent over the directive, viewing it as a cover-up for website issues.
School principals highlight that schools were closed for vacation when the advisory was given.
