Four teachers in Kalkini upazila of Madaripur have been relieved of their duties for alleged negligence during the ongoing SSC (Vocational) examinations. The decision was confirmed on Thursday by Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Md Saif Ul Arefin. Those removed include acting head teacher and center secretary Shyama Prasad Pal Mintu of Kalkini Government Pilot High School, acting head teacher and hall superintendent Md Nasir Uddin of Gopalpur High School, assistant teacher Dilip Bairagi of Kalinagar Fasiatala High School, and assistant teacher Ijazul Haque of Krokrichar High School.

According to administrative sources, the action followed allegations of irregularities in distributing question papers during the “Bangladesh and Global Studies” exam held on Tuesday. After an investigation confirmed the irregularities, the four teachers were dismissed from their examination responsibilities. UNO Md Saif Ul Arefin stated that evidence of misconduct in question paper distribution led to their removal.

The incident highlights the administration’s effort to ensure fairness and discipline in public examinations within the upazila.
