School principal dismissed for forcing teachers to work day and night shifts

Reports circulated on social media claiming that teachers at a school in Buvayda district of Fergana region were being forced to remain on duty around the clock. The regional Department of Preschool and School Education commented on the situation.

According to the findings, the acting principal of Secondary School No. 37, identified as H.N., assigned duties to the teaching staff that fell outside their official responsibilities. Specifically, teachers were required to carry out round-the-clock duty shifts in violation of established regulations.

Based on an order issued today, January 6, by the regional Department of Preschool and School Education, the acting principal of Secondary School No. 37, H.N., has been relieved of his duties.

“System leaders have been warned to prevent such situations in the future. We kindly ask social media observers and users not to assess the situation at a single school as representative of the entire system,” the statement said.

It is worth noting that earlier, a teacher at Secondary School No. 11 in the O‘rta Chirchiq district of Tashkent region was dismissed after committing грубые physical actions against a student.
