He said this will affect their focus on teaching."There are many schools where there is only one or two para teachers and no supporting staff. The teachers would be forced to sell the jute bags. The Education Minister should have thought twice before passing an order like this," Shahdeo told ANI.Jharkhand Education Minister Jagarnath Mahato, however, said there will be no disturbance in teaching due to the order and the government is also willing to review it."It is not like that they are going to sell it (jute bag) in the market. We are reviewing it. If teaching or study is disturbed by this, we will stop this. Practically there will be no disturbance. There is no issue. There's nothing like teachers being forced to sell (jute bags)," he said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
