The school service commission (SSC) has published a detailed list specifying the reasons for the termination of teaching and non-teaching employees identified as “tainted” in government-aided schools. Of the 1,806 tainted teachers, 997 were appointed at the secondary level, with the remaining at the higher secondary level. An SSC official said this was the third time the commission had published a list of tainted candidates. The first list was released on August 30, 2025, following Supreme Court directives aimed at preventing tainted candidates from participating in the September recruitment tests. The list was published again on November 27 after allegations surfaced that the SSC’s interview list for higher secondary teachers included candidates barred by the Supreme Court.
