Shillong, Sept 29: Commissioner & Secretary in charge of Education Vijay Kumar Mantri, met the ad hoc teachers who are on strike.
However, they will continue with the protest till the state government assures to upgrade the adhoc schools to the deficit system
The teachers are agitating under the banner of the Federation of Adhoc School Teachers of Meghalaya (FASTOM).
“The official promised us to properly study the demands of the federation,” FASTOM publicity secretary EG War said.
The vice president of FASTOM, S Jungai, said the proposal for the Meghalaya Education Grant (MEG) is still in its initial stage, and ad hoc teachers are uncertain about its implementation.
“As ad hoc teachers, we do not really know whether it will be implemented or not at the end of the day. So, we will stick to our main demand, which is the upgradation of adhoc schools to the deficit system or deficit pattern,” he said.
The agitating teachers are unhappy as the Chief Minister’s office has yet to respond to their letters.
