Teachers affiliated to various unions have threatened to boycott the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations spot valuation from April 2 onwards, demanding that the State government solve the long-pending issues pertaining to the teachers and the education sector.

Accordingly, all the 54 teachers unions have formed the Joint Council of Teachers Union (JCTU) and organised a steering committee meeting under the leadership of the State JCTU steering committee member M. Raghushankar Reddy and district steering committee member M. Prathap Reddy in Karimnagar town on Wednesday and passed a resolution to boycott the SSC spot valuation and launch agitations demanding the fulfilment of their demands.

Pay revision commission

They demanded that the government abolish the Contributory pension scheme (CPS), bring in unified service rules and provide promotions to all the teachers, constitute pay revision commission (PRC) without any delay, take up transfers and promotions during the summer vacation, and other demands.

They said that they would intensify their agitation and warned that the State government would be held responsible for delay the announcement of SSC results therewith.
