Thousands of teachers would gather opposite the Fort railway Station and march to the Presidential Secretariat on July 26 if the government remained intransigent, teachers unions, protesting against what they call political promotions, said yesterday. “On July 04, we conducted a one-day strike and we gave the government two weeks to reverse its decision that will destroy the education system. However, almost three weeks have passed and they have done nothing and we have been compelled to take this action,” Joseph Stalin said.
Stalin said they had already written to zonal and regional education directors, asking them to postpone term tests. “We know that this will inconvenience students but we are doing this to ensure that the education sector is not politicized. We can’t allow people who are not at all qualified to hold positions in the education administrative service.”.
