Hundreds of guest teacher in Delhi staged a protest in front of Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's residence on Wednesday demanding regularisation of their jobs.
The guest teachers submitted a memorandum to the L-G seeking implementation of the bill passed by the Delhi Assembly recently to regularise guest teachers.
"Since the Delhi Assembly has passed the bill for regularisation of our jobs, now the L-G should also sign the bill and end the dilemma. It has been over three years since we have been fighting for our rights," said Prabhanjan Kumar - a guest teacher.
On Wednesday morning about 600 guest teachers gathered outside L-G's residence with placards demanding permanent jobs. They shouted slogans in support of their cause and sought L-G's time to meet him. Later a delegation of guest teachers went inside L-G's residence to submit a memorandum.
"We have been teaching since the last four years like any other permanent teacher. We have been working constnatly to teach students and make their future bright. We have contributed in the results of government schools in Delhi which have performed better than the private schools," said Shefali, a guest teacher.
The city government had last week passed the bill for regularisation of jobs of all guest teachers claiming that the education department is under its ambit. The bill has been sent to L-G's office for implementation.
