Apex court against teachers on poll duty on school days
Expressing grave concern over the state of primary education among the poor in India, the Supreme Court Thursday told the Election Commission not to deploy school teachers on poll duty on school days but only on holidays and non-teaching days.
A bench of Justices S.B. Sinha and Harjit Singh Bedi, however, allowed the poll panel to deploy the non-teaching staff of schools on poll related duties on any day.
