Assam Teacher Defies Retirement, Continues Teaching Two Years Post-Retirement

The teacher, who retired in 2022, remains in the classroom of a government school in Assam, where he has been teaching for the past two years. School officials say his dedication and experience have made him a valuable asset, and they have granted him a special exemption to continue teaching. Local students and parents praise his commitment, noting that his presence has helped maintain continuity in the curriculum. The Assam government’s retirement policy typically requires teachers to retire at 60, but the school has requested a waiver citing the teacher’s exceptional performance. The case has drawn attention to the flexibility of retirement regulations for educators who continue to contribute meaningfully.
