Kolkata schools are struggling after 25,752 teachers and staff lost jobs due to the Supreme Court’s ruling in the bribe-for-job scam. Institutions like Bansberia Ganges High School in Hooghly lost 15 of 41 staff members, severely impacting education. The verdict followed a three-year CBI probe into recruitment corruption under former education minister Partha Chatterjee. CM Mamata Banerjee promised fresh recruitment, but WBSSC says hiring in three months is impossible. BJP accused TMC of corruption, while affected teachers plan legal action. The education crisis has sparked protests, with students and parents worried about their future. (PC: AP)
