The State government has issued orders sanctioning the salary scale for teachers who got temporary promotion as head teachers in government lower and upper primary schools in the State.
The salary scale has been allowed on the basis of an interim order of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal (KAT) in a case before the tribunal.
The government had allowed temporary promotion as head teachers since cases related to the promotion had been filed in various courts. However, the salary of headmasters had not been fixed. Some teachers had retired without their pay scale being upgraded.
