Headmaster placed under suspension
District Elementary Education Officer K. P. Kanagamani has placed under suspension Senthamarai Kannan, headmaster of Panchayat Union Elementary School at Kaikattipudur, on Thursday evening.
Mr. Kanagamani said that the departmental action was initiated on the charge that Senthamarai Kannan had instigated an agitation by students early on the day asking for more teachers.
“Despite knowing that the school’s sanctioned strength of teachers was only two, the agitation was organised seeking more teachers. The sanctioned strength is two teaching staff, including the headmaster, as the school has only 60 students in the entire roll,” he said.
According to him, even a replacement teacher has been sanctioned in the place of another teacher who was posted out of the school. “Agitation took place at a time when the new teacher was supposed to join on Friday,” he said.
On the day, the students staged road blockade agitation demanding that more teachers should be posted to the school.
