HYDERABAD: After a meeting with chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Progressive Recognised Teachers’ Union Telangana State (PRTUTS) members have claimed the CM assured not to start physical classes from July 1.
However, there was no official announcement from the government or the school education department.
PRTU leaders, who submitted a memorandum to CM at Pragathi Bhavan on Saturday requesting him to solve the teachers’ problems, said the CM, however, gave a green signal to start online classes.
“CM directed education minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy to not start physical classes in haste.
He also asked the minister to continue with the online teaching and ask only 50% of teachers to report to duty,” PRTU president P Sripal Reddy told TOI.
In a meeting, where education minister, MLCs K Janardhan Reddy, K Raghotham Reddy, PRTU state president P Sripal Reddy, general secretary B Kamalakar Rao, and others participated, teachers requested the CM to issue instructions to defer temporarily the re-opening of schools due to the prevailing Covid situation, continuing with the online teaching and 50% teachers’ attendance.
Their other demands include taking up transfers and promotions.
“CM directed officials to prepare cadre based on new districts for promotions within 10 days and complete the process.
He also assured that soon after DSC will be issued,” Sripal Reddy said.
