The warning was issued in a joint press conference, addressed by Hari Singh- provincial president USTA, Rajeev Kumar- general secretary and Roop Chand- district president, here today.
They stressed upon the Government to release the pending salary and other DA arrears of Teachers/ Masters working under SSA and RMSA schemes at an earliest besides de-linking their salary from the Central budget.
They also appealed the Government to strengthen the public education system by providing proper infrastructure and staff to under-staff schools, fill vacant posts of Headmasters, ZEOs and Lecturers by way of DPC, regularise all Lecturers, Headmasters and ZEOs who are working in their own pay and grade, transfer Masters and Lecturers suitably who have completed their tenure in far flung areas and teachers from non academic duties.
They further appealed to the Government not to stop the increments of Teachers/ Masters for low pass percentage keeping in view the non- detention policy upto class 9th, insufficient staff and subject teachers, especially in rural area schools.
USTA leaders appealed the authorities to concede the demands at an earliest or face agitation in third week of June.
