No salary without class 10 certificate: Uttar Pradesh govt to teachers

LUCKNOW: The state government has directed the primary school teachers to upload their high school marksheets and certificates on the Manav Sampada portal failing which their salary would be withheld.
In a fresh order, director general, school education, Vijay Kiran Anand has asked all basic shiksha adhikaris (BSAs) to release salary of only those teachers who have uploaded their high school marksheet and certificate on Manav Sampada portal, an online database of teachers created for digitisation of records.
The move came after it was found that many teachers, despite repeated directives since September 2019, had not uploaded their documents on the portal.
“Since teachers have their own login, they could have easily uploaded the documents. Non-compliance of the order shows the lax attitude of teachers,” the order said.
The directive was issued after a status report of documents uploaded on the online portal was filed by the directorate of basic education on July 2. The report said over 21,000 assistant teachers in primary schools, 4,000 head teachers in primary schools and assistant teachers in junior schools are yet to upload their high school mark sheet and certificate.
In Lucknow, out of 3,067 assistant teachers in primary schools, 2,908 have uploaded their high school marksheet and 2,804 have uploaded their high school certificate. Among 1,937 head teachers (primary school), assistant teachers (junior school) in Lucknow, 1,875 and 1,744, have uploaded their high school marksheet and certificate, respectively.
