Teachers in Gurugram's state-run schools on Tuesday wrote to the Directorate of Education, demanding the withdrawal of a directive that makes it mandatory to update a digital "Teacher's Diary" before and after every class.

GURUGRAM: They warned that if the order isn't revoked, they would stage a protest on April 17.

The directive, issued last week by the Haryana education department, requires teachers to log lesson plans and outcomes for every subject on the Management Information System (MIS) portal. However, members of the Rashtriya Prathmik Shikshak Sangh (RPSS), a district-level teachers' association, said the online process is far more time-consuming than the manual one and places an additional burden on already overworked staff.
