Bihar: KK Pathak, who went on leave, politics continues over the issue of teachers' leave

Bihar: Patna. Education is in the news again in Bihar. Amid the leave demand of school teachers in Bihar, Additional Chief Secretary Education KK Pathak has gone on leave. According to department sources, KK Pathak will be on leave from June 1 to June 30. He is leaving for Delhi this evening. Last time, when he was on leave, senior official of the department Kanhaiya Prasad was given charge, but Kanhaiya Prasad is retiring on May 31. In this situation, no decision has been taken yet as to who will look after the work of KK Pathak who is on leave. It is known that the education department has announced a holiday for school students and ordered teachers to come to school in view of the heat. After this order, teachers are also demanding leave. On Wednesday, there were reports of children fainting in government schools in several districts of Bihar due to scorching heat. Reports have surfaced that more than 50 students fainted in government schools in several districts including Mungar and Sheikhpura. In many places, teachers and other school staff also fainted. After this information, first the education department urgently ordered to change the school timings. Following this, a second notification was issued ordering closure of the school from May 30 to June 8, but during this period teachers were also ordered to attend school. Politics continues on leave issue Now politics has started on this issue. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav posted on X and attacked the Nitish government. Supporting the demand of the teachers, he clearly said that the teachers should be given leave in this scorching heat. Due to the stubbornness of the NDA government in Bihar, there have been reports of students and teachers dying as schools opened in the scorching heat. Under pressure from the opposition, schools were closed a day early, but teachers have been given strict instructions to attend school in this deadly heat. What do teachers do when students are not at school? Teachers should be given a holiday in this scorching heat. Why Bihar NDA government is taking inhumane decisions against teachers? Why is the entire cabinet, including the Chief Minister, bent on taking the lives of teachers resting in air-conditioned rooms?
