The State Level-V (Ex-Cadre) Teachers’ Mahasangha has decided to stage a dharna in front of the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) office in Cuttack from January 14 to press for publication of proper results of the Orissa Teachers Eligibility Test (OTET).
The Mahasangha alleged that the BSE conducted the test in a wrong manner and published faulty results, harassing lakhs of teachers and putting them in difficulties.
While the BSE is not able to conduct the test in regular manner, the latest OTET was conducted on January 16, 2019 after a gap of two years. But, the test was cancelled all of a sudden citing question paper leak. Later it was conducted from August 5 to 18 online.
Mahasangha president Sibalal sahu, general secretary Bulu Behera, working president Trilochan Kar, Ramakanta Nayak, Amiya Kumar Baral and Susant Jyotish said the BSE authorities would be responsible if any untoward incident happens.
