Protesting teachers plan move to Delhi after failing to meet education minister

Government school teachers, who have been protesting against their loss of jobs, following an order of the Supreme Court last month in the cash-for-job case, will now take their demonstrations beyond Kolkata to the national Capital.

This was announced by the protesting teachers, who have united under the banner of the 'Jogyo Shikshak-Shikshika Adhikar Mancha (Genuine Teachers' Rights Forum)' after a few representatives of the forum had a meeting with the state education secretary, Vinod Kumar on Monday afternoon.

After the meeting, the forum representatives expressed dissatisfaction over the absence of education minister Bratya Basu from the discussion.
