  "account": "The Sindh School Education and Literacy Department has unveiled a stringent stance against fraudulent and proxy attendance in government schools, with a warning that staff implicated in such misconduct may face termination of employment. According to an official memorandum, department officials have taken note of employees falsifying records or manipulating digital attendance systems while being absent from their posts. The notice stipulates that educators and non-teaching personnel found engaging in fraudulent attendance practices will be classified as \"unauthorized absent\" and face prompt disciplinary measures under the Sindh Civil Servants Act, 1973, and the Sindh Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules. The department has cautioned that repercussions could entail penalties, including dismissal from government service. Those aiding employees in marking fake attendance or tampering with attendance systems will also be subject to severe sanctions. To enforce compliance, the department has mandated periodic unannounced inspections of government schools throughout Sindh. Inspection teams will cross-check the physical presence of teachers and other personnel against the official attendance records. Provincial education authorities have been instructed to rectify loopholes in attendance monitoring systems and ensure strict observance of the policy. The department has made it clear that personnel must be physically present at their workplaces; otherwise, recording attendance without being on duty will not be tolerated.
