Teachers Relieved Amid 34-Day Vacation Sparking Administrative Row in Jamui

A controversial administrative directive issued during an ongoing 34-day festive recess at the renowned Simultala Residential School in Bihar's Jamui district has triggered heated debate across the state education machinery. The premier academic institution is currently observing an extensive break formally sanctioned by the Directorate of Secondary Education, spanning from Durga Puja through the Chhath festival and incorporating winter recess allowances. Amid this total shutdown, an executive order relieving three local teachers with immediate effect and directing them to join their new postings has drawn intense scrutiny from educators and administrative observers who question the rationale behind enforcing reassignments when academic facilities remain closed.
Divisional Deputation Triggers Abrupt Relieving Orders
The administrative sequence began following formal communication from the principal of Simultala Residential School to regional authorities regarding faculty requirements. In response, the Regional Deputy Director of Education (RDD) for the Munger Division authorized a divisional-level deputation roster encompassing educators from across Lakhisarai, Sheikhpura, and Jamui districts. Acting upon this regional mandate, District Education Officer (DEO) Jamui issued immediate relieving orders for three educators within his jurisdiction, directing them to report for service at Simultala without waiting for the scheduled resumption of regular classes.
Administrative Flaw Alleged Over Missing Principal Notification
The controversy deepened when educational analysts identified a procedural anomaly in the documentation dispatched from the district headquarters. Official copies of the relieving order failed to include the designation or name of the Principal of Simultala Residential School—the executive head of the receiving institution. Senior educators highlighted this procedural omission as an administrative oversight, arguing that dispatching faculty transfers mid-session without formal intimation to the institutional head disrupts campus protocol while needlessly depriving students at the teachers' parent schools of instructional continuity before holidays officially conclude.
Jamui DEO Dhananjay Paswan Defends Departmental Directives
Addressing the mounting criticism, Jamui District Education Officer Dhananjay Paswan defended the order, maintaining that the issue is being magnified without cause. Paswan clarified that the district office was merely executing directives received from the Regional Deputy Director of Education in Munger, where the deputation roster was originally formulated. He noted that official administrative compliance remains mandatory and affirmed that transferred educators will automatically follow the residential school's operational calendar upon reopening, adding that the school's principal has been verbally briefed on the deployment strategy despite clerical omissions on the formal notification document.
