Ludhiana, December 25
Teachers working in aided schools are hopeful that in the forthcoming meeting with the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal at Chandigarh on January 8, the demand of merger of aided schools with government schools will be considered by the Punjab Government.
The teachers, who have been struggling for this for past few years say this is the only solution to all the ongoing problems of aided schools in the state.
The press secretary of the Aided School Teachers' Union Devinder Rehan said during a massive rally in Chandigarh recently, message was conveyed to us by the Director, Elementary Education, Darshan Kaur that a meeting of the aided-teachers had been mixed with the Chief Minister.
"The next course of action will be decided after the meeting. In case, the state government listens to our genuine demands, it will be a respite for about 4,200 teachers. If the government refuses to it, we will intensify our agitation," said Rehan.
The serving teachers in aided schools are in no mood to take the Teachers Elementary Test (TET) in case the state government decides to absorb them. The teachers said they had been serving in schools for the past several decades and 50 per cent of them were on the verge of retirement. It would be wrong to ask the serving teachers to take the test, they said. The teachers said since 95 per cent of the grants were already being given by the state government, the aided schools should be merged with government schools.
