Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that different cadres of teachers will be merged in the education department and there will be only one cadre which will be Teacher Cadre. He further said that the the facilities which are being provided to the teachers will be given to all cadres merged with the Teacher Cadre.
Chouhan was addressing the office bearers of teacher’s associations and teachers at the CM House on Sunday. He mentioned that the benefit of today's decision will be given to about 3 lakh persons of teacher and other cadres.
Chouhan further mentioned that the historical injustice to the teachers is being removed from today. Facilities like transfer policy, seniority order of gurujis and maternal leave for women teachers will be included in the facilities being provided to the teachers.
He further said that the State has seen a period in which the teachers were made karmis. The current Government, by eradicating the karmi culture, has taken several important decisions from 2004 till today to establish a new academic culture in the education sector.
Besides, Chouhan said that all the cadres included in the teacher cadre, beside teachers, have responsibility to pay their attention to the education of children now.
Educate children with full effort and loyalty to make their bright future. The future of the teachers will be ensured by the State Government.
Conventions on quality education will be organised at division level to ensure good examination results of the Government schools' students.
