Patna: School holidays have been declared in Bihar for teachers on Eid-ul-Fitr and Ram Navami. As per the official notice from the Education Department, CM Nitish Kumar took “discomfiture” among teachers because of the residential training programme that deprived them of the holidays. As per the official announcement, the school teachers in Bihar have been granted holidays for both Eid-ul-Fitr and Ram Navami.
Nitish Kumar in the notice ordered that the holidays be given on April 10 and 11 for Eid-ul-Fitr and April 17 for Ram Navami.
It should be noted that the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has been organising residential training programmes for teachers and the training is being organised at 78 centers of the government across the state.
It is worth mentioning that a row erupted after the Bihar education department scheduled a training programme for teachers and annual examinations for school students on Holi and Good Friday last month.
According to the official letter, a total of 19,200 government school teachers were asked to attend the FLN training at 78 centres of the department.
After the row erupted, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav sought the intervention of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar into the matter.
“As per orders of the NDA government in Bihar, teachers have to be present even on the day of Holi. This has never happened in Bihar earlier. When the entire state is celebrating Holi, teachers will stay away from their families on that day. The CM must intervene in the matter,” he had posted on X.
