The demand appointment of headmasters in four government schools

Dozens of members of the Tamil Nadu Primary School Teachers Federation (TNPTF) staged a brief demonstration in Coimbatore on Tuesday demanding appointment of headmasters in four government primary schools in the district.

According to Coimbatore district secretary of TNPTF A. Thangabasu, two government primary schools in Karamadai block and one each in Thondamuthur and Perur blocks have been functioning without a headmaster for over four years.

“Without a headmaster, teaching work get affected in these schools. The teachers, who carry out the duties of headmasters, are overburdened,” he claimed.
