Sources said two other teachers of the school apprised Dr.Neeru Sharma, Head of Home Sciences Department explaining the difficulty being faced due to continued absence of the teacher. Sharma reportedly asked the teachers to engage the mates (menial staff) to teach the nursery class. Sources said the school is Day Care Centre which is only in the name to befool parents of the children as during two months summer break, it remains closed and the parents of the students, who are working in non-teaching cadre of the varsity and do not get summer break, are forced to put their children in crèches outside the university. "There is no existing authority in the university whom the parents of students can approach to get their grievances redressed and the one which is existing does not care at all," sources added. |
