Nearly 200 Class 11 and 12 students at a Delhi government school have not received chemistry instruction for three years. Government Senior Secondary School (GSKV) Khajuri Khas has failed to appoint a regular chemistry teacher since 2021. The prolonged shortage impacts two science stream sections. Each section has approximately 50-55 students.
Students Seek Resolution
Students report repeated requests to the school principal. These pleas have yielded no solution. Advocate Asok Agarawal highlighted the issue. He tweeted that over 200 girl students are awaiting a chemistry teacher. The advocate stated students may approach the Delhi High Court. This action would occur if a teacher is not provided immediately.
A representation was sent on August 20 to the Directorate of Education. It calls for urgent intervention. The representation details the alleged teacher shortage at GSKV Khajuri Khas.
Board Exams at Risk
The situation is critical for Class 12 students. They are preparing for upcoming board examinations. The absence of a chemistry teacher hinders academic preparation. This could negatively affect their exam performance.
Students claim they raised concerns through proper channels. They have received no assistance. Repeated representations have not led to effective solutions. The ongoing teacher vacancy raises questions about educational access. Students require proper instruction for board exams.
