Bhubaneswar: The teacher has expressed concern about reporting to their educational institutions because schools and colleges have shifted back to online mode after a surge in Covid cases in the state.
Many teachers say they depend on public transportation to go to school and fear of getting exposed to viruses that spread at high speed.
On January 5, the state government directed class VI students to XII to switch back to online learning until January 31.
While students continue to enter from their homes, most of the schools ask their teachers to come to clean the session and take online classes.
“We have come to school because higher secondary students come for offline classes.
Now when cases increase at fast speed, we must be allowed to work from home,” Sukanti Bal Biswal said, a private school teacher here.
The government has notified that students can come to school for cleaning doubts so that the teacher must also come.
But the elementary school teacher said they could do classes from home instead of spending hours on the way and exposed to viruses.
“I suffer from diabetes and have other comorbidity.
Even though I traveled by bus every day to come to school.
There are many such teachers who face difficulties and come to school without work,” said a 55-year-old teacher in Khurda Regency.
However, the principal said that when the teacher came to school, they took the class sincerely.
“When the teacher takes the class of school they do it very sincerely but at home there are many obstacles and disturbances.
So it’s better that the teacher comes to school when students experience the final test in the next few months.
So they have to come to school to complete the syllabus right Time, “said the principal of the school, asking for anonymity.
