AGARTALA, Aug 23 (TIWN) The SSA teachers led by Bastab Debbarma asked the state govt to help them to complete their incomplete degrees or state will see a Biggest ever protest after Aug-26, if till then no step is being taken.
Recently the SSA teachers in Tripura have observed an 11 day long hunger strike that led 30 persons to turn sick in demand of regularization as well as training.
The Lok Sabha on July-21 passed a Bill that offers untrained teachers teaching in schools time till March 31, 2019, to acquire B.El. Ed (Bachelor of Elementary Education) or D. El. Ed. (Diploma in Elementary Education) qualifications to hold their jobs as teachers.
This was done through an amendment to the Right to Education Act, 2009, as a last chance to such teachers not to lose their jobs. The Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill, 2017 Bill will now have to pass muster in the Rajya Sabha — and get presidential assent after that — to become an Act.
