Teachers of aided schools threaten to resort to agitation

Ludhiana, December 7
The Association of Aided-Schools of Punjab has threatened to hold a stir if a meeting with the Chief Minister of Punjab, Parkash Singh Badal, was not convened till December 14.

A state-level meeting in this regard was held under the leadership of president of the association Gurcharan Singh Chahal, at Ramgarhia Senior Secondary School, here today.


Chahal said the neighbouring states like Haryana had also merged their aided-schools with the government schools for the welfare of students and teachers, but state government is not paying any heed to the long-pending demand.

The secretary of the association, NN Saini, said, “In the last meeting with the Education Minister, SS Maluka, an assurance was given that a meeting with the CM will be convened in near future. If the leaders fail to listen to the grievances of aided-school teachers by December 14, the association will resort to agitation path.”
