NONGPOH, June 5: In an effort to promote transparency and eradicate corruption within the education sector, the District School Education Officer (DSEO) of Ri-Bhoi, P Lyngdoh Nonglait, has emphasised that schools authorities need not pay any money to obtain permission, regularisation, schemes and benefits from the government.
This holds true not only for the DSEO and SDSEO offices but also for the SSA and BMCs at the block levels, including Umling, Umsning, Jirang and Bhoirymbong C&RD Blocks.
Moreover, Nonglait encouraged any member of the public or school authority, who encounters demands for money in exchange for schemes or benefits, to promptly report the matter to the DSEO’s office.
She assured that necessary actions would be taken to address such misconduct and uphold the principles of fairness and transparency.
Furthermore, the DSEO clarified that schools are only required to pay fees for Bharat Scouts & Guides and Teachers’ Welfare Fund.
