NGO takes up teachers’ cause
Ludhiana, August 19 They discussed the burning problems of the builders of nation i.e. teachers. They said teachers were feeling demoralised and harassed for the past four-and-a-half years due to non-cooperative attitude of the Punjab Government. The members passed a resolution unanimously that teachers would be forced not to celebrate the Teachers Day that falls on September 5 if no decision was taken to meet the demands of teachers . The members added that the Minister of Higher Education and Primary Education should give priority to fulfilling the demands of the teachers. Few of the most important demands are that government should issue appointment letters to lecturers in English and other subjects against selections made by the State Public Service Commission first in 2000-01 and then reconducted in 2004 as a majority of candidates had not completed their procedure of character verification/ medical examination etc. The government ought to release pension benefits to retired grant-in-aid recognised private school teachers who retired after May 31 2003. The government should also fill up vacant posts of grant-in-aid colleges/schools on priority basis. Another demand was to withdraw illegal orders of extending by one-hour timings in all government schools.
