-Teachers started protesting

Now tell me whose loss is this?
Was it a bad decision?

Akhilesh Yadav, a prominent political leader, lent his support to the protesting teachers, stating that this decision would only lead to poor quality education in government schools. The controversy eventually led to the UP government rethinking its decision and backing down from implementing the system.
While some argue that asking teachers to arrive on time is not a crime, others believe it is an attempt to micromanage their daily routines. The debate surrounding this issue highlights the complexity of balancing individual freedoms with administrative requirements.
