The services of 10 teachers in Bageshwar’s government primary schools have been terminated after certificates submitted for their appointments were found to be forged and fabricated during verification by the Ramnagar Board.
The education department ended their employment with immediate effect after receiving the verification findings. The teachers had been working in the district’s primary schools, including institutions in remote and rural areas.
Questions over appointment checks
The reported use of forged documents for an extended period has raised concerns about the effect on children studying in these schools. Villagers and parents have expressed anger, asking why the certificates were not properly verified when the teachers were appointed.
The issue has also placed scrutiny on the recruitment and document-checking process. The available report does not identify the teachers or specify s they held beyond their employment in government primary schools.
Parents seek further action
Local residents and parents have said that ending the teachers’ services should not be the only response. They have demanded recovery of the salaries paid to the teachers during the period they worked on the basis of the disputed documents.
They have also called for strict criminal cases against the teachers and accountability for officials who were responsible for verification and appointments at the time. These are demands raised by local people; the available information does not confirm whether criminal cases have been registered or whether any officials have faced action.
The department’s confirmed step so far is the termination of the 10 teachers’ services following the Ramnagar Board’s verification. No further official action is specified in the available report.
Conclusion
Bageshwar has terminated 10 primary-school teachers after the Ramnagar Board found their certificates forged and fabricated. Parents and villagers are now seeking salary recovery, criminal proceedings and responsibility fixed for any verification failures.
