Three principals in primary schools will be promoted and one will be filled with H-TAT
Gandhinagr The Government of Gujarat has today decided to cancel the letter of Education department dated 25 June 2019. With this, around 65,000 primary teachers in Gujarat will continue to get higher pay scale grade of Rs. 4200. The State government had suspended the controversial letter in question with effect from 16 July 2020.
The letter had suggested Rs. 2800 grade pay instead of Rs. 4200. The decision according to a note released by the State government, was taken at Chief Minister’s level in a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister and concerned ministers. Primary school teachers had launched hashtag agitation for 4200 grade pay on social media platforms recently. The Chief Minister has directed the Education Department to implement immediately the new order in consultation with the Finance Department and General Administration Department.
The protests were against the implementation of June 25, 2019 GR which has been put on hold as it was affecting the pay grade of 65,000 primary teachers who were recruited after 2010 directly as their pay grade was reduced from Rs 4,200 to Rs 2,800.
This week, following a meeting with representatives of teachers associations, finance minister Nitin Patel reassured teachers that the 2019 GR would be cancelled and Rs 4,200 grade pay will be implemented for all.
Hoping the finance department to take a decision in favour of teachers after by-elections, Chudasama said, “As the file is with the finance department, we are positive that a decision in favour of teachers will be taken by the state government. A decision is expected after the code of conduct.”
Digvijaysinh Jadeja, president of Gujarat Primary Teachers Association that was actively voicing teachers’ resentments against state government’s GR of reduction of their pay scale, said, “We have been told to wait till the by-election.”
