Computer teachers to boycott work Sans salaries for past three months, have been assigned extra work

Jalandhar, October 31
The Computer Teachers’ Union today announced the boycott of the DISE data entry work across the state by computer teachers in protest against the instructions on these lines by the DGSE office.

They said they would hold protest demonstrations against the department.

Gurvinder Singh Tarn Taran, state president of the union, in a press note
here today, said the new instructions released from the office of the Director-General School Education (DGSE), Punjab, states that the U-DISE data entry work would be done by computer teachers.

He said assigning another task to the computer teachers, especially when they had not received their salaries for the past three months, was not fair. Alleging that the Education Department had reduced skilled and highly qualified computer teachers to clerks, union members said computer teachers who had been employed to render computer education to students of government schools were given other works.

They said while the department had never released the salaries of computer teachers on time, they were being burdened by other works.

They said even during the festival season, computer teachers languish sans salaries for the past three months. Teachers had to run around government offices for release of salaries again and again and still due to some or the other reason, their salary bills were not passed, they added.

The annual increment of computer teachers had also not been given by the department so far, they said.

They said employees were now being asked to do the work of BPEOs as well. They said the DISE surveys and school monitoring proforma work was being assigned to computer teachers so that it might be completed on time but computer teachers would not tolerate the same.

They announced that they would hold district as well as state-level protests against the government decision.
