Cuttack: To ensure proper valuation of papers of the High School Certificate (HSC) examinations, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) is going to start the process of online registration of teachers of all government and recognised secondary schools in Odisha from December 21 for the first time.
About 60, 000 high school teachers of nearly 9, 000 secondary schools will be registered online. The process will continue till December 30.
Briefing mediapersons at the BSE headquarters here on Saturday, president of the Board Prof Dakshya Prasad Nanda said the registration of the secondary school teachers would be done through www.bseodisha.indiaresults.com/rtet
He said either the headmaster/headmistress or a teacher engaged by him/her will register the names of all the teachers of the school online by furnishing their details. After the registration, a hard copy of the registered teachers with their signature will be sent to the office of the respective District Education Officers (DEOs).
The Board has directed the concerned headmasters/headmistresses to submit all the records of the registered teachers in their respective zonal offices by January 4, Nanda said.
“Presently, the records the Board has on the teachers are about 25 years old. There is no yearly updation of these records. As a result, it is difficult for the Board to select the examiners at the time of conducting HSC examinations and during valuation. Apart from this, the Board had no specific data about teachers and the subjects they were teaching. Considering all these aspects, the Board, for the first time, has decided to have online registration of all government and recognised secondary schools from this year to overcome these deficiencies,” the BSE president informed.
“Whenever we go out on official duty, we have to get a written order from the headmaster as we do not have any specific identity. However, there will be no problem henceforth as the Board has decided on online registration of secondary school teachers,” said Bipin Bihari Satpathy, a teacher of Ravenshaw Collegiate School, Cuttack.
