Thirteen teachers have been caught copying in a university sponsored examination at about midnight, just few hours before the actual examination would have commenced, and with the connivance of the Principal and others supposed to keep a vigil on them. What more degradation of morals can one imagine? From what has so far trickled down to the media, there is no guarantee that the university called Jamia Urdu Aligarh is legally and formally a recognized university and that it is authorized to conduct examinations at distant places like Rajouri/Poonch etc, in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Teachers who have been caught copying were preparing to qualify themselves for promotion to Master grade. We have suspicion that this is a deep rooted racket from Rajouri to Aligarh in which transaction of lakhs of rupees takes place. We learn that each candidate who was copying had paid a sum of twenty thousand rupees to secure the clandestine beneficence. This mass pedagogic crime is a shame for the entire teaching community. Obviously the racket has deep roots and the police should go to the roots if we want to stamp out this unexpected pattern of corruption. No wonder, therefore that educational standard in schools, colleges and universities is rapidly falling in our country. Who provided the question paper in advance to the criminal teachers, who provided them the space in the school at night, who would collect their answer books and replace them the next morning when examination would be held regularly are the questions which the police will probe into and arrive at the roots of the crime. By any standard, these defaulting teachers do not deserve to be the employees of the Government under ReT scheme.
