Guwahati: Teachers In Govt Schools To Face Salary Or Leave Deduction For Reaching Late

GUWAHATI: All government and provincialised schools in Guwahati have been instructed to follow a set of guidelines under the Samagra Shiskha Abhiyan for the academic session 2025-26. This directive was issued by the government on April 9.

As per the new guidelines, teachers have been asked to report for their duties before 9 AM, and the time of their arrival and departure must be recorded in the Shiksha Setu App. 

It is worth mentioning that teachers found to be arriving late for three consecutive days will be penalized through the deduction of a casual leave. In the case of exhaustion of a casual leave, a single day's salary will be withheld.

Class teachers have been tasked with the responsibility of maintaining the daily attendance of students as these records will be checked by the heads of institutions.

If network issues causing hindrance in taking attendance through the app persists, supervisors have been told to share geotagged group photographs in designated WhatsApp groups.

In addition to it, all lower primary schools have been strictly ordered to remain open till 2:05 PM while ME, MV, high and higher secondary schools must not close before 3:25 PM.

On the other hand, non-teaching staff must report for their duty before 10:00 AM and stay until 4:30 PM to ensure the availability of staff for official documentation works.
