“The Deputy CM and Bikram Majithia, Revenue Minister, have assured that a meeting of the TET representatives will be organised on Monday. We hope that our issues will be redressed soon,” said Raja.
He said it was the result of the efforts of the union that the Education department had put up the schedule for 5,178 posts of Rural Associate Teachers on its Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan website.
“From September 23, the department will start with the counselling process. The department also must fill the vacancy of as many as 690 teachers at the earliest,” said the president.
The TET teachers from across the state had gathered here in Ludhiana on September 8 to protest against the alleged apathetic attitude of the government. Scores of teachers had blocked the roads for four hours.
