Special school teachers seek government job

TIRUNELVELI Teachers working with special schools for child labourers have appealed to the Tamil Nadu government to accommodate them in a government department as they were not given salary since March 2020 ‘in an apparent move to abandon the child labourers rehabilitation programme.’ In a petition submitted at the Collectorate, they said 35 teachers were working in the special schools being run by the National Child Labour Project for the child labourers rescued from their workplaces after they dropped out of schools for different reasons. However, they were neither given the salary since March 2020 nor the rent for the child labour school buildings.
