Bathinda, February 6
A delegation of teachers of the Adarsh Schools Teaching and Non-Teaching Association, Punjab, met Education Minister Sikander Singh Maluka at his residence in Maluka village today.
"We showed him a copy of an advertisement through which the teachers for the Adarsh School under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode were
recruited. We told him that the pay scale which was promised through the advertisement was never actually given to the teachers," said Deepak Grover, state president of the union. He said the union pointed out the difference between the salaries of teachers of the PPP Adarsh schools and the Adarsh schools which were running under the state government.
"While we are not even being paid according to the pay scale, the latter, apart from getting full pay are being given all facilities which a government employee enjoys," he added.
"We also told the minister that we will not allow the word government to be dropped from the names of the Adarsh schools opened under the PPP model. These schools are functioning as part of the project under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyaan, a Central government scheme," Grover added.
He further said the minister took a copy of their demands and assured them of taking these up with Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal soon. He, however, expressed his helplessness in promising anything to them immediately since he needed to seek nod from the Finance Department and the CM.
Maluka also assured the teachers that their demands will be considered and that they would soon be called to attend a meeting with the top officials of the Education Department.
Apart from Grover, Gurjeet Singh, Sukhdeep Kaur, Amandeep Singh, Harpreet Singh and Vikram Singh were in the delegation.
