Secondary grade teachers to continue protest despite TN police crackdown
December 28, 2025
|The Morning Standard
THE association representing the nearly 20,000 Secondary Grade Teachers (SGTs) employed across the state on Saturday vowed to continue its agitation to press for its 16-year demand of equal pay for equal work amid increasing police crackdown.
Accusing the DMK government of failing to address their longstanding demand, the protesters said that teachers performing identical duty are paid ₹25,000 to ₹30,000 less every month than their counterparts solely because they were appointed after an arbitrary cutoff date of June 1, 2009. The problem has been continuing from the DMK's earlier rule in 2009, they said.
