Ratnagiri teachers’ march to the collector’s office in heavy rain! Ratnagiri: Teachers across the state have taken collective leave and gone on strike on various issues such as contractual appointment of teachers in under-enrolled schools, non-availability of uniforms to students, administrative work that has to be done without teaching. At this time in Ratnagiri, the teachers of the district took out a march on Ratnagiri Collectorate on Wednesday.

In the entire state, marches were planned to be held by the teachers’ unions at the district collector’s offices across the state. The position of teachers unions is that due to various decisions taken by the school education department, school education in the state will be adversely affected. Therefore, a meeting of primary teachers was held in Pune a few days ago against the decisions of the education department. In this meeting, opposition was shown in the form of leaving the WhatsApp group in which education department officials participated, wearing a black belt. After that, a mass leave was taken on Wednesday and a march was held at the collector’s office. The appointment of temporary teachers in low-income schools, if that teacher is also removed, the education of the students will stop. Three months after the school started, many students are still without uniform. The uniforms received are not of the size of the students. In many schools there are no seats for the students, in some places even the books have not reached, the school buildings are in bad condition. School nutrition is being asked to provide different foods every day and the necessary subsidy is not given for it. When teachers want to teach, they spend time preparing documents, online meetings, sending constant information, doing activities. Therefore, not enough time can be given for teaching. By solving all such problems, teachers’ unions protested to demand adequate facilities for students and time for teachers.
