Schoolteachers to stage demonstration

Special Correspondent

MADURAI: More than 1,000 primary schoolteachers from the State will take part in a demonstration at New Delhi on November 22 to highlight the inadequacies in the Right to Education Bill proposed by the Centre.

The Executive Committee meeting of the Tamil Nadu Primary School Teachers' Federation was convened here on Sunday.

Talking to reporters, N. Parvatharajan, federation general secretary, said the School Teachers Federation of India was holding an agitation in Delhi to draw the Centre's attention on the subject.

T. Kannan, State treasurer, said there was a threat of `free seats and non-free seats' coming up from the elementary school level itself if the Bill was accepted by States in the present form.
