Teachers’ union seeks immediate solutions to issues
The Hindu
Plans rallies, dharna on April 26
Vexed with “government apathy”, leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Teachers' Federation (APTF) have decided to launch a sustained agitation in a phased manner to build pressure on the authorities concerned to solve their long-standing issues. The leaders called upon teachers to identify their pressing local issues and submit representations on them at the Mandal Education Offices on April 19, while on April 26, they should take out rallies and stage dharnas at the Collectors’ offices. In a statement on Wednesday, the federation leaders alleged “gross indifference” on the part of the government towards the community. Citing some of their key issues, they said while Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised to repeal the controversial Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) immediately after coming to power, he had not done so even after completing two years in power. Teachers being deprived of DA and non-implementation of the Pay Revision Commission recommendations were other perennial issues, they said.
