Teachers oppose redesignation move

By Our Staff Reporter

PONDICHERRY, MARCH 20. The Secondary Grade Teachers of government schools today observed a token fast in Bharathi park here to protest against the government's steps to redesignate them as primary school teachers with directive to handle classes from standard I to V.

A spokesman of the Teachers Association, which sponsored the agitation, said the teachers were handling classes up to standard VIII but they were asked to handle classes up to standard V only. This virtually ``demoted'' them, said the spokesman.

The teachers also wanted benefits of the Assured Career Progression sponsored by the Centre to ensure their promotion.
