Temporary teachers stage sit-in before PM's residence

Kathmandu, Oct 18: Temporary school teachers today launched a brief sit-in in front of Prime Minister's official residence at Baluwatar, putting forth various demands.

They have alleged that the Education Act (eighth amendment) failed to address their demands.

Their demands include that internal competition should be held and those failing to register for permanent status be provided with medical treatment facility.

Likewise, other demand is that those temporary teachers who have retired on age-limit should be provided with gratuity and medical treatment facility.

Talking to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), Chairman of the Temporary Teachers Struggle Committee Nirendra Kunwar demanded that the Education Act should be amended.
