Bihar Contract Teachers

Around 4.5 lakh contractual teachers of the government schools are on indefinite strike since February 17 in support of their eight-point demands that included the one seeking "equal pay for equal work".

Nearly 3.5 lakh school teachers working on contract in Bihar on Sunday threatened to go on strike from February 1, 2018, in case the state government failed to decide on equal pay for equal work for them.

The Bihar Congress today asked the Nitish Kumar government in the state to implement the recent Patna High Court order on niyojit (contractual) teachers.

Nearly 3,000 primary school teachers on contract failed to clear competency tests twice in Bihar and will be sacked following the Patna High Court order, officials said in Patna on Friday.

Thousands of teachers on contract with the Bihar government took to Patna streets on Friday, demanding the "right to equal pay for equal work", just two days ahead of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's "Adhikar Yatra", police said.

Slippers were thrown at the stage during Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's rally in Madhepura today, allegedly by contract teachers demanding better pay and working terms.
