The protesting teachers and staffs of Block Grant schools and colleges on Tuesday announced to continue their stir and boycott the Plus Two answer sheet evaluation, which is scheduled to begin from Wednesday.
They also announced that they would hold peaceful picketing before the evaluation centres. The teachers took the decision after the inter-ministerial committee failed to come out with any new announcement regarding their demands.
The committee, constituted by the State Government had sought time till Monday evening to take decision on the matter. However, no official notification has been issued yet forcing us to continue their stir,” said a member of the Odisha School and College Teachers’ and Employees’ United Forum (OSCTUF).
Earlier on March 31, the agitating teachers had made their stand clear at a meeting with the inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Finance Minister.
The teachers’ body is demanding that the Government should issue a notification regarding the withdrawal of the affidavit clause prescribed in the Grant-in-Aid (GIA) Policy.
