Guest teachers association plans protest outside Delhi Assembly today

All India Guest Teachers Association plans to protest outside the Delhi Legislative Assembly building voicing their problems and demands Monday.

The move comes after the controversy surrounding the guest teachers in which Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena ordered an ‘inquiry’ into the alleged irregularities in the engagement of guest teachers in Delhi government schools. The association Sunday demanded salaries for guest teachers equal to that of regular teachers and job security for about 60 years.

A statement released by the association said, “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised to confirm guest teachers eight years ago but not even a single guest teacher has been made permanent to date. He also promised to give equal pay for equal work but failed to do so.”
