Around 50,000 BEd teachers under the aegis of the BEd Siksha Sahayak Sangha would stage an agitation in front of the State Assembly here from January 28 to press for availing TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) status and Basic Pay of Rs 9,300 plus Grade Pay of Rs 4,600.
This was informed by Sangha president Ajay Kumar Dhal at a Press meet here on Wednesday.
Dhal rued that even as the Class-VIII was combined with the upper primary schools, yet no teacher posts have been created. He demanded to create posts and appoint trained graduate teachers.
The Sangha threatened to boycott poll duties during the 2019 general elections if their demands are not met by January 26.
Among others, general secretary Debendra Nayak, VP Saroj Kumar Panda, secretary general Umesh Chandra Nayak and working president Duryodhan Das were present.
