Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The administration of Zilla Parishad (ZP) has not made annoucement about the ‘Ideal Teacher’s Award’ while ‘Teacher’s Day is just one day away.
The enthusiasm for the Adarsh Shikshak Award has dampened due to the consecutive holidays.
Since September 5 has a public ohliday for Eid-e-Milad, and the September 6 and 7 have Anant Chaturdashi and Sunday holidays. The award ceremony was postponed until next week as no planned was made for Sunday.
Even though Teachers' Day falls on a day, the Adarsh Shiksha Award has not been announced. Adarsh Shiksha Award of last year given by the Education Department of ZP was also delayed because the guardian minister had not been appointed.
“So, this year's awards are also being delayed. This is being said by the officials of the Education Department themselves. Last year, instead of teachers, the ZP honoured schools with ‘Ideal Scheme award.
Every year, the awards are announced two days before Teachers' Day. But due to lack of planning at the Government level and consecutive holidays, the ceremony has been postponed.
