Up Teacher Scam

The Calcutta High Court, in an unprecedented move, ordered for the reconstitution of the special investigation team (SIT) of the CBI probing the alleged teachers' scam. The court also pulled up the CBI for the delay in probe.

The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department has initiated steps to recover a total of Rs 1.37 crore from six teachers, who were sacked after being found that they had secured their jobs on the basis of fake documents, an official said on Wednesday.

An Uttar Pradesh school teacher was employed by at least nine schools allegedly without taking a single class, in a bizarre case that once again highlights corruption in the state's education system.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday termed the matter relating to appointment of 69,000 teachers in UP's Basic Education department as the state's "Vyapam scam".

Nearly three years after a probe uncovered a massive scam in the Bihar School Examination Board, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has finally opened up on what many described as a "blot" on the state's education system.
