TEACHERS’ EVALUATION BY STUDENTS IN KENDRIYA VIDYALAYAS STAYED

---

Minister for Human Resource Development Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi has stayed the decision of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan to have teachers’ evaluation by students, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Sangathan.

The Academic Advisory Committee of the Sangathan had earlier introduced Article 81-E to Sangathan’s Education Code introducing teachers’ assessment by students. This had included a provision to the effect that if more than 60 percent of students adversely commented on a teacher’s performance, the Assistant Commissioner of the Region would be empowered to take action against the teacher.

The Minister stayed Advisory Committee’s decision as it had not been put before the Board of Governors. With the stay ordered by the Minister, the decision of the Advisory Committee will not be implemented till it is approved by the Board.
