The Tiruvallur Education Department has put on hold the transfer of the English teacher, Bhagwan, from the Government Higher Secondary School, Velligaram, near Pallipattu.
The teacher, who was shifted to another government school in Tiruttani, came back, much to the delight of the students.
The joy of students knew no bounds after seeing their favourite teacher back at school.
The students had on Tuesday protested against the transfer of the teacher.
Parents also requested the Tiruvallur Education Department to cancel his transfer.
A senior official of the Education Department said the English teacher’s transfer had been put on hold for a week. The department plans to speak to the parents and students of the school to find an amicable solution.
“Normally, teachers are a role model for students and we understand the respect shown to the English teacher. However, other students in the rural areas should also benefit from such teachers,” the Education Department official said.
Inquiry likely
The official said an inquiry into the transfer was likely to be conducted by the Chief Education Officer of the district, though the transfer order stands.
