Panaji: The Goa Congress has asked whether the Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant explained if ₹7000 per month Salary for Pre-Primary Teachers under Samagra Shiksha is a Pagaar (Salary) or Punishment (Shiksha) for Teachers. “BJP Government has multiple crores to spend on Events but no money to pay decent Salaries to hardworking Teachers,” charged Congress Media Cell Chairman Amarnath Panjikar.
Just two days back, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant had raised questions about Goa University’s ranking going down as well as fewer aspirants for GPSC examinations. If the teachers at a pre-primary level which are foundation level of education are treated like this, how can we expect them to shape future citizens? questioned Amarnath Panjikar.
The educational sector has witnessed a downfall at all levels since BJP Government came to power in 2012. There are various issues of Teachers, Parents, Students and Management which have remained unresolved for many years, pointed out Amarnath Panjikar.
The safety and Security of Students are in danger due to the failure of the Government to conduct Safety Audits of Schools. Bad conditions of Bal Rath buses are risking the lives of Students. Despite incidents of the collapse of School Roofs and accidents of Bal Rath buses, the Government is not taking any steps, said Amarnath Panjikar.
Implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) has become a burden on Teachers and School Management due to the lack of proper facilities in place. The government is just busy making announcements, said Amarnath Panjikar.
We hope that some better sense will prevail and the Government will increase the Salary and also take steps to resolve issues faced by Teachers recruited under Samagra Shiksha, Amarnath Panjikar stated.
