IndiaThe Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) in Kerala has requested government approval to file cases related to the alleged manipulation of student records in multiple schools across Kannur. According to the VACB's report, this manipulation involved inflating student numbers primarily to maintain teaching positions, with false entries in attendance, admissions, and midday meal records. This led to significant financial losses for the government due to the unnecessary distribution of uniforms, textbooks, and meals. The investigation uncovered discrepancies in at least 11 schools across several sub-districts, covering classes from Lower Primary to Class VIII. Some students were allegedly enrolled in schools where they did not attend, and in certain instances, students from different districts were falsely recorded as being enrolled in schools in Kannur. The VACB investigation included multiple teams and identified potential charges against headteachers and class teachers, though some educators claimed they acted under pressure.
