The Bihar School Education Department has flagged 72,287 teachers’ appointment certificates as “suspicious” today. The review revealed that, out of a total of 3.52 lakh submitted certificates, a large backlog of verifications remains. District Programme Officers have been asked to urgently verify credentials under suspicion of forgery or irregularities. The announcement has sparked concern over the credibility of recent recruitments and raised questions about the potential impact on school functioning and students’ learning quality. The department says more thorough audits will follow to ensure only qualified teachers remain in service.
