The Forum demanded removal of pay anomalies of teachers who are still in 5200-20200 scale with grade pay 2800 whereas their counterpart ASI (JKP) and JE etc are in revised scale of 9300-34200 with grade pay 4200. Immediate adjustment of newly promoted teachers as Masters was also demanded.
The Forum president alleged that much damage has been done to the Department by the outgoing Minister in connivance with corrupt officials at the helm and now it is time to take up the measures to retrieve the lost image of teaching community and Education Department.
