SARGODHA, May 16: The chief minister’s monitoring and evaluation cell has found irregularities in the execution of development schemes in most of the government schools in the district.

The cell either found no work carried out in 110 schools it visited or the quality of work done substandard.

It also found a ‘considerable’ number of teachers and other staff missing from the schools.

The monitoring team also interviewed about 192 male and female students of various schools who claimed that their teachers were in the habit of collecting money from them on different grounds.

Irregularities were also detected in the distribution of free books under a chief minister’s project.
