CBSE Teachers’ Body To Sit On ‘Dharna’; Know Why

Nagpur: CBSE Schools’ Staff Welfare Association (CSSWA) is set to hold a dharna to press for their demand for a state-level tribunal to address teachers’ problems here on Monday, November 1.

CSSWA president, Deepali Dably said the ‘jan andolan’ will be staged at Samvidhan Square. “At present there is no school tribunal for CBSE Employees from all over Maharashtra constituted either by the central government or by the state. We need this for redressal of grievances of teaching as well as non-teaching staff working in these independent CBSE schools. This has resulted, shockingly, into professional exploitation of the entire staff working in such CBSE schools,” Dably was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

According to Dably, out of about 24,000 independent CBSE schools from across India, Maharashtra has around 1,070 private CBSE schools. “They are affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), follow their syllabus, curriculum and have textbooks prescribed in accordance with CBSE and employ more than one lakh teaching and non-teaching staff. 95% of them are women,” the teachers body president said.

“Constitution of school tribunal for the entire teaching and non-teaching staff of CBSE Schools throughout Maharashtra has become the need of the hour as there is no such school tribunal anywhere in any corner of state for redressal of grievances of teaching as well as non-teaching staff,” Dably was quoted by the national daily.

The CSSWA president said that going for a mass agitation movement was now the only solution when he addressed the media on Saturday. “Looking towards the seriousness of the subject mentioned above as well as for quick and effective fulfilment and implementation of professional demands of the entire CBSE employees from all over Maharashtra, we decided to conduct the Jan Andolan, as it is the need of the hour,” Dably added.
