In order to express their disappointment with the government for delay in fulfilling their demands, the teachers under the banner of Khasi Jaintia Deficit School Teachers Association (KJDSTA) and Garo Hills Deficit School Teachers and Employees Association (GHDSTEA) will wear black ribbons on the occasion.

It may be mentioned that one of the immediate demands of the organizations is to release of the 2nd installment of arrears of revised pay before Teachers’  Day. They demanded that the government should release another 25 per cent of the pending arrears (2nd Installment) before the Teachers Day 2019.

 On the other hand, the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) central executive council (CEC) through the Education cell has extended its support to the teachers.

In a statement issued here, they said the state government is not serious with taking up the issues of teachers and has urged the government to pay heed to the demands of the teachers.
