No irregularities were detected in the engagement of guest teachers in Delhi government schools during the probe ordered by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, city Education Minister Raaj Kumar Anand said Monday.
He said that according to the probe report, there was no ''ghost teacher'' and the documents of only 109 guest teachers were ''incomplete''.
No immediate reaction was available from the LG office on the same.
In September 2022, the LG had ordered an internal inquiry into alleged irregularities in the engagement of guest teachers in Delhi government schools and embezzlement of funds through payment of salaries to ''ghost'' teachers.
''The LG's probe report found nothing such as 'ghost' teacher in Delhi government schools. Every teacher has been coming to school on time and marking biometric attendance every day. Only the documents of 109 guest teachers were incomplete and they have been notified about the same,'' Anand said.
He further said the report did not mention any ''embezzlement of funds'' in the payment of salaries to ''ghost teachers''.
''The LG terming teachers as ''ghost teachers'' is an insult to those working in this noble profession. This is also an insult to our honest administration. Around 16,609 guest teachers are there in Delhi government schools. All of their documents were checked and it was all fine,'' he said.
Taking to Twitter, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, ''What can one achieve by ordering such bogus enquiries and by putting obstacles in every work?''
