Govt not to revisit contractual teachers issue: Rymbui

Services of over 800 teachers were terminated after they failed the Meghalaya Teacher's Eligibility Test.

SHILLONG:

Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui on September 22 said the government will not invite the agitating contractual teachers for talks.

“There is no question of inviting them for talks because the process has already been completed. As I said time and again it is the policy of the government and the government will not turn back on its policy,” Rymbui told reporters.

The contractual teachers under the banner of the Meghalaya Government Lower Primary Contractual Teachers’ Association (MGLPCTA) have been staging an indefinite hunger strike for the past 14 days to demand the government to reinstate their services.

Services of over 800 teachers were terminated after they failed the Meghalaya Teacher’s Eligibility Test (MTET).
