Kolkata: The Special Summary Revision (SSR) has led to worries among state school authorities that many teachers will again be away on BLO duty in the exam season. The SSR work started on Nov 13 and will continue till the publication of the final electoral roll on Jan 16 next year.From Nov to Dec, state schools have exams lined up and their heads are flagging concerns about workforce shortage that may hamper the conduct of exams as well as publication of results. Bivas Biswas, headmaster of Narkeldanga High School, said, “Our class 10 students have tests. Annual exams or third summative tests for classes V to IX will be held before Christmas. If teachers are gone for SSR work, the exam, evaluation and preparation of results will be hampered.”Swapan Mandal, general secretary, Bengal Teachers’ And Employees’ Association (BTEA ) said, “A large section of teachers is engaged in SSR work in the exam season. We request the EC to look into the matter.”
