He added that apart from illegal collection of fees from pupils, the suspended teachers were also found culpable of insubordination and refusal to comply with posting instructions.
The SUBEB chairman, who stated that the suspended teachers would face a disciplinary committee, said the committee had been mandated to ensure a thorough probe of the allegations and give all concerned fair hearing.
