Chennai, Dec 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) Deposed AIADMK leader O. Panneerselvam (OPS) on Tuesday demanded regularisation of part-time teachers in government schools of Tamil Nadu.
In a statement, the former Chief Minister said that around 12,000 teachers are working on a part-time basis in government schools and wanted them to be made permanent government staff.
These teachers are working part-time as dance, music, drawing, and physical education teachers. Notably, the DMK had in its 2021 election manifesto, promised to regularise the service of these part-time teachers but even after more than one-and-a-half years into power, the DMK did not meet its promise.
Though these teachers were working on a part-time basis, they were discharging all the duties of regular teachers, OPS said. However, the part-time teachers were paid a meager Rs 10,000 per month as salary which was grossly inadequate.
He said that the DMK government must fulfill its poll promise and regularise the service of the part-time teachers with immediate effect.
