New set up junior high schools are provided with only three regular teachers at first.. and therefore these schools are very much dependent on the service of the Guest teachers (teachers appointed after retirement) for smooth running.. the salary structure of these teachers has always been a matter of confusion.. at first they were offered salaries as per ROPA 98.. suddenly a new G.O. was published and ROPA 2009 was installed.. this was a much appreciated move from the govt… but just after one month another G.O. was published and announced that Guest teachers salary will be Rs. 5000 (pass graduate) and Rs. 7000 (hons graduate) respectively.. As a result our honble Guest teachers are not at all interested to continue their service… this move is not only detrimental to the smooth teaching-learning process of these schools, it is also disrespectful towards our veteran teachers…. I sincerely hope that our united protest will be heard and taken care of.. thanks all.
