The Minister along with officials of the Education department and Law secretary discussed complexities of present condition of terminated teachers. The Minister also exchanged views with the delegates of the terminated teachers. Considering the gravity of the situation, the Minister remained positive and sensitive to the plight of the terminated teachers.
In its pre-poll vision document during last year’s Assembly Polls, BJP assured all possible help to the ‘victimized’ teachers – and according after assuming power, the Government successfully appealed for extension. However, since then, permanent solution remains elusive.
Speaking to media after submitting the memorandum and holding detailed discussion with the Minister, leaders of the terminated teachers said, the Minister assured them that the government had been working on exploring ways to rehabilitate the terminated teachers.
