Calls for salary increment and service regularization

SHILLONG: The Meghalaya SSA Schools Association– Central Body (MSSASA) has thanked the State education department for taking due initiative in the teachers’ struggle for pay enhancement and other issues.
“We  are on the way of winning the battle as to the different issues fought by us all along the years which include salary enhancement in 2007 from Rs 1500 to Rs 3000, salary enhancement in 2010 from Rs 3000 to Rs 6000 for Assistant Teachers and Rs 7000 for Head teacher of Upper Primary SSA School including 4th Teachers, opposing the State Government termination order of 4th Teacher in Upper Primary in 2010, the demand to enhance the salary of SSA teacher from Rs 6000 to Rs 12,000 for Lower Primary School (LPS) and Rs 6000 to Rs 14,000 for Upper Primary School (UPS) and to Regularize the Service of SSA teacher in the State in 2012”, MSSASA president Aristotle C Rymbai said in a statement. The MSSASA stated one of its achievements is that  it pressurized the State Government to enhance the salary to Rs 9200 for LPS and 9900 for UPS in 2013.
Presently, the MSSASA urged  the State Government to give chance to some of the SSA teachers who did not secure 45 per cent in HSSLC to sit for the improvement exam necessitated to acquire 45 per cent as per National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE) norms to which the State Government agreed.
The Association further added that they have submitted a memorandum to the State Government on February 2 demanding the implementation of SSA-RTE Act 2009 and to implement mandatory SSA norms in true spirit.
They have called for enhancement of salary from Rs 9200 to Rs 30,000 for LPS and Rs 9900 to Rs 35,000 for UPS and regularization of the service of SSA teachers.
