LUCKNOW : In order to ensure transparen­cy in the evaluation process, the answershee­ts of toppers of the UP Board examinatio­ns would be displayed online on the sites of the education department and UP Board.

Deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma has directed the department to display answershee­ts of top 15 students online.

In a meeting with district inspector of schools of the state held on Friday, the deputy chief minister said, “Such steps should encourage the students to do better and at the same time it would prove that evaluation process of UP Board is transparen­t.”

The deputy CM also directed the DIoS of all the districts to organise felicitati­on functions of meritoriou­s students within a week of announcing the results and the officials should help the toppers in finding good colleges for their further studies.

He said that all the schools will have the facility of Wi-fi and internet.

Commenting over the transfer policy, he said it will be more transparen­t as teachers can now apply for transfers online. The last date for the online registrati­on for transfer is May 10.

Dinesh Sharma said that teachers would be required to ensure that government schools function for 220 days in a year, and that students of private schools must not suffer due to exorbitant hike in fee.

The deputy chief minister has given the nod for formation of divisional fee regulatory committee headed by divisional commission­er to control fee hike in cities.

During the meeting, the deputy CM directed the officials to makes sure that all the students of classes 6, 9 and 11 has their adhaar numbers in order to check false registrati­on in board examinatio­ns.

The deputy CM also sanctioned budget of Rs 5 crore for the purchase of furniture by the government colleges in the state.

Dinesh Sharma said, “I have directed the officials to ensure 100 percent attendance of teachers in the schools as government will not compromise over the quality of education imparted to students. A meeting of all the principals would be held to assess regular progress of students and studies in schools.”

He said there is no plan to appoint new district inspectors of schools and till the proposal of new appointmen­ts is cleared, the department will take services of retired employees.
