Shillong, April 3: Irked over the failure of the government to fulfil the demands of the higher secondary adhoc teachers in the state that is to release their pending salaries, the teachers under the banner of the Khasi Jaintia Higher Secondary Adhoc Teachers’ Association (KJHSATA) threaten to go for an agitation if their demands are not met.
The KJHSATA stepped up with their demand after the government has decided to release the pending salaries of the primary school teachers since January 2013 within April 10 failing of which, they will be compelled to call off the evaluation of the HSSLC answer scripts and to go for an indefinite strike..
“Over the year, the state government had put the prerequisite norms that without agitation programmes, teachers’ rights could not be realized”, KJHSATA general secretary Sainbor J Lyngdoh said in a statement issued here on Wednesday.
The KJHSATA has called upon the other teachers’ associations, the NGOs and the general public to support the cause of the teachers’ plight in the state.(SP News)
