Ousted part-time teachers launch indefinite protest

Chittoor: In order to improve the educational  standards in the Government schools, 220 part-time teachers were appointed in the district under Sarva Siksha  Abhiyan scheme.

After they worked for 10 years, all  of them were removed recently without substantial reason, stated STU State General Secretary Ghanta Mohan. All  the  terminated part-time teachers are qualified and were appointed by the District Collector.  

The ousted part time teachers launched  indefinite relay fast near DEO office on Tuesday in which the leaders of various Teachers’ Unions and political leaders extended their support.  

Speaking on the occasion G Mohan  said that there was no justice  in removing the services of part-time teachers without valid grounds and their services were utilised to improve  the skills of the students.
