In Madhya Pradesh, the school education department is planning to empower cluster principals to grant relief in genuine cases of delayed e-attendance for teachers. The department plans to issue a circular authorizing cluster principals to consider requests from teachers under their jurisdiction, particularly in instances involving valid and practical difficulties.
Currently, about 98% of teachers are regularly marking their e-attendance each day, so the department is taking action in response to the remaining 2% who are experiencing genuine challenges. Technical difficulties will be considered when making the decision to grant relief. The guidelines will outline the specific circumstances in which cluster principals can exercise their discretion and provide relief for delayed e-attendance.
The department emphasizes that action will continue against teachers who habitually fail to mark e-attendance on time or misuse the system, and teachers who have been regularly marking e-attendance in July and August will not be eligible for salary relief in this case.
