Primary teachers to go on indefinite strike again from today

 Online Desk

Assistant teachers of government primary schools are going on a full-day strike again from Thursday on three-point demands.

This time they have announced an indefinite strike. As a result, classes in 65,500 government primary schools in the country are practically closed. The annual exams scheduled to start next month have also become uncertain.

A press release from the Primary Teachers' Demand Implementation Council on Wednesday said that although the continuous strike was supposed to start from next Sunday, it has been brought forward. The full-day strike is starting from Thursday. The movement will continue until the assistant teachers' three-point demands, including the 11th grade, are realized.

The release also said that on November 9, teacher leaders met with the secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education and senior officials and officials of the Ministry of Finance on November 10. As per the decision of the meeting, it has been decided to bring forward the program as there has been no desired progress in issuing the 11th grade notification and implementing other demands.

The demands of the assistant teachers are to raise the salary scale of assistant teachers to the 11th grade, eliminate the complications of obtaining higher grades on completion of 10 and 16 years, and ensure 100% departmental promotion from assistant teachers to the post of head teacher.

According to the information of the Department of Primary Education, there are 65,569 government primary schools in the country. There are more than 384,000 teachers working in these schools, and the number of students is about one crore.
