To press their demand: Members of the Pudukottai district unit of the Tamil Nadu High and Higher Secondary Graduate Teachers’ Association staging a gate meeting in front of an SSLC valuation centre on Tuesday.
PUDUKOTTAI: Members of the Pudukottai district unit of the Tamil Nadu High and Higher Secondary Graduate Teachers’ Association participated in a gate-meeting in front of the SSLC paper valuation centre here on Tuesday urging the Education Department to allot seven periods a week for History teachers against the present five, to complete the portion well ahead of the public examination.
The district president of the Association, T. Ramamoorthy, who led the agitation, said that the stir was timed and the venue chosen after a careful consideration, to draw the attention of the State Government.
He said that ‘discrimination’ was being meted out to History teachers, although teachers handling other subjects were allotted seven periods a week.
Mr. Ramamoorthy also demanded fixation of daily allowance at Rs.80 for valuation teachers residing within a radius of 8 km around the valuation centre.
Known as ‘local teachers’ in official parlance, these teachers were not eligible for travelling and dearness allowance, but a meagre allowance, he said.
Transparency in counselling
The State president of the Association, S. Ezhumalai, wanted transparency in the counselling for transfer of teachers to commence during the vacation.
The Education Department should bifurcate the high and higher secondary sections, appointing separate Headmasters for each unit to bring out efficiency in both administrative and academic work.
Their other demands included immediate introduction of equitable education; appointment of separate teachers for handling Physics, Chemistry and Biology for SSLC classes; withdrawal of Contribution pension scheme and fixation of teacher-pupil ratio at 1:30.
They raised slogans in support of their demands.
