Haryana Board Implements Strict Exam Monitoring Measures for Class 10 and 12 Tests
With the Class 10 and 12 examinations of the Haryana Board of School Education scheduled to commence on February 25, the education department has announced rigorous monitoring protocols and issued warnings of disciplinary consequences for teachers who fail to report for their assigned examination duties.
Enhanced Surveillance and Mandatory Attendance Requirements
Officials revealed that these stringent measures have been implemented following multiple instances last year where approximately 22 teachers were absent during board examinations despite receiving repeated official notices. District education offices across Haryana have received directives to accelerate disciplinary proceedings against any staff members who disregard official instructions, ensuring strict adherence to established examination protocols.
Surveillance at examination centers throughout the district will be significantly strengthened through the deployment of flying squads and regular inspection teams. The administration has emphasized that staff attendance is absolutely mandatory, as teachers perform a critical function in maintaining examination discipline, preventing unfair practices, and guaranteeing the smooth conduct of these important academic assessments.
Teacher Concerns and Departmental Priorities
However, this stricter administrative stance has simultaneously triggered concerns among the teaching community. Numerous educators have raised issues including inadequate honorarium payments and persistent delays in compensation for examination duties. Some teachers have expressed particular anxiety about the intensified scrutiny during malpractice inquiries that occurred in previous examination cycles.
Despite these legitimate concerns, District Education Officer Indu Bokan clarified that the department's primary priority remains ensuring fair, transparent, and well-organized examinations for all participating students. She confirmed that comprehensive instructions had been communicated well in advance to all relevant staff members, and that any instances of non-compliance would inevitably invite appropriate departmental action.
Critical Examination Responsibilities
Teachers assigned to examination duty carry substantial responsibilities that directly impact the integrity of the board examination process. These essential duties include:
- Supervising examination halls throughout testing periods
- Verifying students' identities and examination credentials
- Distributing question papers and answer sheets securely
- Monitoring student conduct during examination sessions
- Ensuring the secure collection and submission of completed answer sheets
Education officials emphasized that these functions are absolutely critical to maintaining the integrity and credibility of the board examinations, which involve thousands of students across multiple districts in Haryana. The enhanced monitoring measures represent a proactive approach to addressing previous shortcomings while ensuring a more reliable examination environment for all stakeholders involved in this significant academic process.
