Bathinda, December 12
Members of the various teachers’ unions assembled at the Teachers’ Home today and held a protest against the state government for being oblivious to their long-pending demands.
Leaders and members of the Democratic Teachers Front (DTF), BEd Teachers Front, SSA-RMSA union, ETT Teachers’ Union, 7,654 Teachers’ Union and several other teachers’ organisation participated in the dharna and raised slogans against the Punjab government.
The gathering was addressed by the DTF leaders Paramjit Singh, Resham Singh, SSA/RMSA/CSS leader Harjit Jidda and district secretary Gurpreet Singh Khemuana, 7654 Teachers’ Union district president, Parwinder Singh, and BEd Front Punjab district president, Karamjit Singh Jalal, and Rajvir Singh Mann.
The members accused the state government of delaying the release 10 per cent dearness allowance starting July 2013. They added that the delay was the problem of not only the teachers employed in the state education department but also of the employees working in other state departments as well.
They also alleged that the government was devising ways of bringing private sector into the field of school education and that is why as many as 5,752 schools were shifted from under the Education Department to Zila Parishad. They demanded that these schools be brought back under the state education department.
They added that the state government will have to heed their demands and regularise the jobs of the teachers employed under the SSA-RMSA. They stated that while the state government had money to fund the fourth World Cup Kabaddi, it didn’t have money to pay the teachers employed under the CSS scheme who have not been paid salaries for the past 19 months.
The leaders argued that the state government had done everything to stunt their professional and financial progress. They added that apart from withholding salaries of the teachers, the government had also put a stop on promotion of the ETT-qualified teachers.
They asked the state government to consider the case of promotions in the master, lecturer, head master and other cadres and approve the cases of worthy candidates.
