Lucknow School: Teacher Absenteeism and Fake Attendance Exposed
Imagine a school where most of the teachers weren't at work!
That's what happened in Lucknow.
During a surprise check, only six teachers were there, while the rest were missing.
Some teachers even signed in early to pretend they were at school.
The boss of the school was gone too.
Now, some teachers are suspended, and others won't get paid until they explain why they weren't at school.
The authorities are looking into it because this means the students aren't getting the education they deserve.
Parents are upset and want the schools to be watched more closely.
A surprise inspection at a Lucknow primary school revealed widespread teacher absenteeism.
23 out of 29 teachers were absent during the inspection.
12 teachers had faked attendance by signing in advance.
The school's headmaster was also absent without informing authorities.
Administrative actions include suspensions, salary freezes, and a broader investigation.
