what is wrong in teaching without a proper degree cert. as long as he/she can deliver the good. there are teachers with degrees with no use to students.

Right! The authorities should go into the results he produced. How his students fared at the exams in the subjects he taught, did any of his students complain about the lack of knowledge on his part etc.

Agreed. Was the performance, I mean not preparing false documents to get the job, was good?
