An assistant professor of Arabic at Karamatia Kamil (M.A.) Madrasa in Charfasson has allegedly left the institution to attend to a family matter without taking his scheduled class or informing the principal.

The teacher, Md Moin Uddin, reportedly arrived at the madrasa at around 9:30am on Thursday (September 10) after taking leave for the previous two days. He allegedly signed the attendance register and then left the workplace without informing the principal.

Madrasa Principal Mawlana Nurul Amin said Assistant Professor Md Moin Uddin had been on leave on Tuesday (September 8) and Wednesday (September 9). After returning to the madrasa on Thursday morning, he signed the attendance register but allegedly left without taking his scheduled class or notifying the principal.

The principal said, “It is the responsibility of a teacher to take scheduled classes after signing the attendance register. If there is a personal or family matter that requires leaving the workplace, the authority should be informed. But he did not inform me.”

The principal further alleged that Moin Uddin had previously left the madrasa without informing him on several occasions instead of taking his scheduled classes. Such incidents disrupt regular academic activities and raise questions about discipline at the institution, he said.

When contacted, Assistant Professor Md Moin Uddin acknowledged leaving the madrasa and said, “I went home for a family matter.”

However, when asked about leaving the workplace without informing the principal after signing the attendance register and failing to take his scheduled class, he did not provide any response.

Meanwhile, Secondary Education Officer Mir A.K.M. Abul Khair said, “The matter will be investigated. The allegations will be verified through an investigation to determine the actual facts. If the allegations are found to be true, necessary action will be taken according to the rules.”

Education stakeholders say regular attendance by teachers and taking classes on schedule are essential to ensuring uninterrupted learning for students. If a teacher needs to leave the workplace for personal or family reasons, the relevant authority should be informed and leave or permission should be obtained according to the rules.

They stressed that the allegations should be properly investigated to establish the facts and that appropriate action should be taken if any wrongdoing is found.
