Patiala, November 6
Pursuing higher education during their service has proved “futile” for language teachers working with the Punjab Education Department. Instead of getting higher responsibility benefit after their promotion as language masters on the basis of their improved qualification, they have been denied the benefits of the Assured Career Progression (ACP) scheme after every 8, 16, 24 and 32 years of service.
This benefit has already been given to their counterparts who are less qualified than them.
These employees were appointed language teachers after doing their matriculation followed by Giani (Punjabi)/ Prabhakar (Hindi) and Oriental Training (OT).
