They demanded steps for filling up vacancies in the offices of the Tiruchi urban range District Elementary Education Officer's office and the Tiruchi West DEEO office.
The elementary school teachers affiliated to the Tamil
Nadu Thodakkappalli Aasiriyar Koottani staged a demonstration in front
of Khadi Craft in the junction area on Wednesday to press for their
12-point charter of demands.
They demanded removal
of anomalies, affecting middle school teachers, in the Sixth Pay
Commission report; do away with the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET),
introduction of transparent counselling sessions for the transfer of
teachers, introduction of breakfast scheme in schools, and providing
promotion to all the eligible graduate teachers.
They
demanded steps for filling up vacancies in the offices of the Tiruchi
urban range District Elementary Education Officer's office and the
Tiruchi West DEEO office. The school education department should come
forward to regularise the services of part-time vocational teachers
appointed under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and nominate them as
full-time teachers and sanction them time-bound salary. The department
should also come forward to provide time-bound salary to teachers
appointed on consolidated salary in 2003.
M.James,
president of the urban district unit, led the demonstration and
N.Rengarajan, general secretary of the Koottani explained their demands.
A.Robert Anthonyraj, district vice president, J.Albert doss, district
secretary, and S.Neelakandan, urban district secretary, spoke.
