UP primary teachers to go on mass leave on Jan 21
Lucknow: Teachers of the Uttar Pradesh-government run primary and upper primary schools will go on a mass leave on January 21.
The teachers’ union is demanding better infrastructure, manpower and pension for their members.
A common leave application addressed to the Basic Shiksha Adhikari has been forwarded by the union to around 5 lakh teachers of the state.
Dinesh Chandra Sharma, President, Uttar Pradesh Prathamik Shikshak Sangh, said: “There is a lack of facilities for students and the absence of pay parity and new pension scheme for teachers are making teaching a difficult job.”
He said that a massive demonstration was held in Lucknow on November 21 to draw the state government’s attention towards students and teachers issues but despite assurances, the problem has not been resolved.
“The concerned authorities do not seem to be bothered about our problems,” said Sharma.
He further said that those monitoring the teachers through selfie-based ‘Prerna’ app should know that classrooms lack fans, furniture, power supply and sanitary workers.
“Secondary and higher teachers’ unions have also extended support to our mass leave plan,” he added.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
