WBCHSE Bars Teacher Exemption from HS 2026 Answer Script Evaluation after the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education issued instructions to government and government-aided schools across the state. The council stated that teachers cannot be granted exemption from answer script evaluation duties this year. The directive has been issued due to a significant shortage of teachers in secondary and higher secondary schools, which has affected the availability of evaluators for the board examinations.
WBCHSE Directive to Schools on HS 2026 Evaluation Duties
In a communication sent to heads of institutions, the council explained that the number of available teachers is much lower compared to the number of students appearing for the higher secondary examinations. Because of this gap, the council has directed schools to ensure that all available teachers participate in the evaluation process. The decision aims to maintain the timely assessment of answer scripts and avoid delays in result preparation. School authorities have been asked not to approve exemption requests from teachers who are assigned answer script checking duties.
Reason Behind the WBCHSE Evaluation Rule
The council noted that the teacher-student ratio in many schools is currently inadequate, which has created difficulties in managing the large volume of answer scripts generated during the higher secondary examinations. With a high number of students appearing for the examinations every year, the board relies on teachers from government and aided schools to complete the evaluation work efficiently. Engaging all available teachers is expected to help the council complete the evaluation process within the scheduled timeline.
WBCHSE Efforts to Ensure Timely HS Results
The evaluation of answer scripts is an important step in the West Bengal Higher Secondary examination process. Delays in the evaluation stage can affect the announcement of results and subsequent admission procedures for higher education. By directing schools to involve all teachers in the evaluation work, the council aims to ensure that the HS 2026 result preparation process continues smoothly. The council has asked school heads to follow the instructions carefully and cooperate in completing the evaluation work within the stipulated schedule.
