The Tamil Nadu Postgraduate Teachers Association staged a protest here on Thursday condemning the recent order of the School Education Department punishing the hall invigilators for malpractices by students. The valuation process was delayed for an hour.

In a circular dated March 20 to all District Educational Officers, the Directorate of Government Examinations ordered immediate suspension of hall invigilators at centres where malpractices were found by flying squads and standing squads.

Terming it ‘contrary to natural justice’, the association called for scrapping of the order. School Education Department officials said that most of those staging protests were valuators for the Plus-Two public examinations.
