SHILLONG: The Khasi Jaintia Deficit School Teachers Association (KJDSTA) has suggested that the government should release a one-time salary for the year instead of quarterly to resolve the issue of irregular payment of salary.
In a statement issued, the president of KJDSTA, Babu Kular Khongjirem, said with the one-time release of salary, the yearly/annual utilisation certificate (UC) will be submitted by the different schools to solve the financial problems faced by teachers every month.
“Starvation is awaiting the deficit school teachers if the state government still continues to release the salary quarterly,” he said.
The KJDSTA appealed to all MLAs to take up the long pending issues of deficit school teachers with the state government either inside or outside the Assembly for the best interest of education in the state in general and teachers in particular.
