Ludhiana, February 6
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, various teacher associations have started holding protests on roads in order to get their long-pending demands accepted.
And computer teachers of government schools have decided to take a novel way to protest against the SAD-BJP government in the state. The Computer Teachers Union, Punjab, has announced to ‘expose’ the Akali-BJP government on social networking websites.
Around 7,000 computer teachers working under the Punjab Information Communication Technical Education Society, a government body, were appointed on regular basis but after completion of the two-year probation, the state government changed the terms and conditions for jobs.
Teachers claimed that with the new terms and conditions, they would be deprived of several benefits available under a regular job, including medical reimbursements and Pay Commission recommendations. The teachers wanted that the government should bring them under the Education Department so that they become entitled to the benefits available to a regular teacher.
Harpreet Singh, the president of Computer Teachers Union, Punjab, said, "We met Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on January 8. Education Minister Sikander Singh Maluka and senior officials of the Education Department were also present in the meeting. The CM had promised to constitute a committee to redress our grievances and the committee was supposed to file its report within three weeks. Sadly, the department did not even constitute the committee till date.” He added that now they were going to intensify their protest.
"Besides holding protests outside the head office of the Education Department, we will expose the SAD-BJP alliance on social media," he added.
"The reach of social media is very wide and we know how to use it to our advantage. Initially, we will share how the government cheated computer teachers. Later, we will bare all the loopholes in the state’s education system,” said Harpreet.
