Bogus Sixako Ane Students Ne Rokva Mate Maharashtra Sixan Vibhag Nu Farmaan.
The state school education department has asked government-aided
schools in Maharashtra to install biometric verification systems to
ensure schools don’t get bogus students and staff on their rolls and to
keep track of students’ attendance.
Biometric systems use biological traits such as fingerprints, iris patterns, hand geometry and others for identification.
According to a circular issued by Sunil Sardar, education officer,
government-aided schools which do not get the system in place will not
receive salary and non-salary grants. The circular has asked education
officials to send a division-wise list of schools that don’t have the
system in place.
Although the education department had made installation of the system
compulsory last year after a survey to count the number of
out-of-school students in Maharashtra, only a few schools installed it.
Most city schools don’t have biometric attendance, especially for
students. School principals said aided schools cannot afford such
devices. “If the government wants to monitor attendance using bio-metric
system, they must give us the money to do so,” said Uday Nare, senior
teacher, Hansraj Morarji Public School, Andheri.
