SUTARGAON: Students and parents of Sutargaon Public High School alleged that lapses by headmistress Firuza Khatun and clerk Gulzar Hussain had deprived 40 students of registration for the matric examination.
An inspector from Nagaon district visited the school to investigate the complaints. Students and parents submitted written complaints to the official.
They alleged that the school collected between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 from students in the name of shifting matric examination centres. They claimed that the money was with teacher Rafiqul Islam.
The complainants also alleged that teacher Diganta Kashyap attended the school only once or twice a month, but his attendance was marked regularly in the register. They further accused the school of issuing blank transfer certificates and taking money from students.
Students said they did not want to study at the school as teachers did not teach them properly. They also claimed that only one of 40 students from the school had passed the matric examination.
Local residents and students had protested against the headmistress, clerk and assistant teachers last year after they were suspended over corruption allegations.
The guilty will certainly be punished and no one will be allowed to play with the future of students, the inspector said while assuring the students and local residents.
