Tura, Sep 4: SSA school teachers under the banner of the All Garo Hills SSA School Teachers’ Association (AGHSSASTA) have once again sought the regularization of their services along with the enhancement of their salaries.

In their memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday, the association maintained that teachers under the category who have been serving for the last 21 years, have been deprived and neglected of their rights and provisions as compared to other regular teachers of the state.

Pointing out that SSA is not separate but aligned with RTE, the teachers said that they too should be taken into consideration under the State Education Department and RTE norms of the current State Education Society.

It may be noted that the salaries of the teachers were enhanced from Rs 1500 to Rs 3000 in 2008, to Rs 6,000 in 2010, to Rs 9,900 and Rs 9,200 for UP and LP teachers respectively in 2013 and Rs 19,044 and Rs 20,493 for LP and UP teachers in 2017.
