The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has initiated action against 130 teachers and coordinators across the country for evaluation errors and major mistakes in totalling marks awarded in the Class XII board exams.
The highest number of those who erred was in Patna region where 45 teachers/coordinators were held responsible for “the gross carelessness committed by them”. As the re-evaluation process gives over, more teachers could face action.
TOI has, for the past three years, been reporting on how many students under the CBSE, which comes under the ministry of human resource development, have had issues due to errors in the calculation of their board exam marks.
Though the number has decreased this year, TOI came across huge errors in totalling of marks and highlighted it in a report on June 24. The news report prompted CBSE to probe the mistakes and start identifying the teachers/ coordinators responsible for errors during evaluation via its regional offices.
Based on data the board shared with TOI on Wednesday night, of the 10 regions Patna has the highest number of erring teachers/coordinators. The regional office at Allahabad has “issued letters for initiating immediate disciplinary action, including suspension, issued to schools in respect of 45 identified teachers/ coordinators (from Patna region) for the gross carelessness committed by them”. Patna is followed by Dehradun with 27 teachers/ coordinators.
The Trivandrum office has identified one such teacher while the Guwahati region office has identified two; the two regions have the least number of such cases.
By region, Ajmer has the largest number of applications (11,221) this year for verification of marks, though the number is significantly lower than last year’s 19,053. Delhi follows with 11,083 applications and Chennai with 10,546 applications.
Ajmer region has the most number of cases where marks have been increased after verification, followed by Allahabad and Delhi.
