GUWAHATI: The All Assam TET Qualified Primary Teachers’ Association has demanded immediate regularization of all working contractual TET teachers with pay protection and declared that they would resort to mass agitation if their request is not complied with.
The association stated in a release that they would stage a remonstration on September 13 in front of the office of the Elementary Officer in every district. If that fails to grip the State government’s attention, then the association threatened to lock the office of the Elementary Officer in every district. And if even that fails to trigger a reaction, then they would launch the ‘Delhi Chalo’ agitation to elicit the reaction of the Central government.
The decisions were taken at an extended executive committees meeting. The presedent of the association Traloikya Deka said that the Education Minister has fallen back on his own party’s assurances. “Although we have the State BJP president and several MPs support, the Education Minister, known for making controversial statements and curt remarks, instead of solving the problem is amplifying it. We humbly urge to keep the teachers out of their politics and as per their assurances, solve our issues otherwise we will not fall back from initiating an even bigger remonstration.”
