To get their four-point demands including seventh pay-scale for them, Madhya Pradesh Shikshak Sangh would protest on Wednesday at TT Nagar Dusshera ground.

Sangh would also submit the memorandum to the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday.

While talking to the media persons here on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Shikshak Sangh’s State President Pradeep Kumar Singh told that the state government is ignoring the education and the teachers.

There are not even fundamental facilities in the government schools of the state and the no subject teachers are posted in the school. The entire education department is working due to the guest teachers.

Teachers of English and mathematics are very difficult to find in the rural areas therefore the students of the villages are being deprived of basic education. Guest teachers are being assigned to complete the works of voter list, Aadhar card, caste certificate and scholarship apart for the academic work. These works obstruct the academic progress of the students. This is also the main reason behind the poor results in board examinations, he added. 

Singh demanded that that the 27,000 assistant teachers, who are eligible for the promotion, should be promoted as the teachers.

Alike all the other employees, time scale pay should be provided to the teachers and assistant teachers. He further demanded that the seventh pay scale should be provided alike the employees of the central Government to the teachers.

Singh stated that all the teachers of the state would initiate the ‘Shikshak Bachao Andolan’ (Save Teacher Agitation) in block, district and state level, if these four- points demand remained unfulfilled. Parents of the students would also be included in the ‘save teacher agitation’.
