Chief Minister Harish Rawat gave a pep talk to the teachers of junior high schools of the State on the occasion of their provincial convention at Mehuwala Inter College here on Monday.
He said that the modern times are result-oriented and the teachers should also mould themselves to become result oriented. Rawat said that the demand of the teachers to give special allowance for those posted in the remote areas is not justified as the State was constituted on the idea of a mountainous State.
The CM however added that the Government is ready to provide the allowance if the quality of education in the mountainous areas is improved. He said that many private institutes are giving better results even though their teachers are very lowly paid.
Asking the government teachers to engage on introspection on the issue Rawat said that teachers should try to make a better education system in the State.
Rawat assured that the state government is committed for the welfare of teachers but they should keep their patience also. Praising the teaching community of State CM said that the State has highly qualified teachers who can impart best education to the students.
On the demands of the teaching organisation Rawat said that the government is positive towards the demands like Assured Career Progression (ACP) and other demands.
The convention was also addressed by education minister Mantri Prasad Naithani. The sports Minister Dinesh Agarwal, parliamentary secretary Manoj Tiwari, the officiating president of Junior High School Shikshak Sangh Subash Chauhan and others were present on the occasion.
