Members of the United Teachers Federation (UTF) will launch a series of protests to highlight the problems of teachers working in municipal schools in the State. The protests will culminate in a State-wide dharna on December 30.
Raising issues of teacher transfers and promotions, upgrade of posts in high schools and implementation of Provident Fund for teachers, the federation will stage a State-level dharna in Vijayawada on December 30, said the federation’s State president N. Venkateswarlu and general secretary K. S. S. Prasad.
Speaking after releasing a wall poster of the proposed protest, they said services of the municipal teachers were brought under the School Education Department in June, 2022. “Though issues related to service records and cadre strength were resolved there were certain basic problems that were yet to be addressed,” they said.
