TURA: The educational qualification of a teacher of Patelipara and Baishyapara SSA UP School in South West Garo Hills has come under cloud as the documents were issued by an educational institution which has reportedly closed down.
Sahad Miah, who is currently employed as assistant teacher in the said school, while applying for the post had submitted a 10+2 certificate issued in 2016 by All India Educational Parishad.
The authenticity of the certificate is being questioned as the reply to a recent RTI filed with the Sankardev College of Allied Sciences of Guwahati in Assam ,revealed that All India Educational Parishad had closed down in 2014.
The RTI was filed by one, S K Hussain, an Advocate from Shillong and the revelation has raised suspicion that the certificate submitted by Miah could be a fake one.
This is not the first time that a teacher has been found in possession of a certificate supposedly issued by the same institute. Earlier, Aktar Hussain, the second teacher of Beparipara LP School in the same district was found to be in possession of a certificate issued by All India Educational Parishad.
That time, an RTI filed by one, Anyal Hoque with the Ministry of HRD in New Delhi revealed that the All India Educational Parishad was neither been set up nor recognized by the ministry.
