Amritsar (22 October)

Reacting to the statement that no letter has yet been issued by Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains regarding the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission and the Civil Service Rules on computer teachers, Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF), Punjab, state president Vikram Dev Singh and other members said the Education Minister should consider this demand to provide some relief to computer teachers.

The DTF said as per Bains’ announcement to distribute Diwali gifts to computer teachers, no orders had been received until now. As Diwali approaches, the department should immediately issue a notification. They stated that the computer faculty teachers taught children in Punjabi government schools wholeheartedly over the past 18 years.

“Instead of fulfilling the demands of these teachers, various governments have ignored their major demand of being inducted into the Education Department as regular employees. Computer teachers have been denied access to many facilities despite being regular under Punjab ICT Education Society. The current government must take immediate action to provide relief for these teachers.
