Gandaki, Kaski, Pokhara Lekhnath

Temporary teachers held one hour sit-in in front of District Education Office, Kaski on Tuesday protesting the new amendments of Education Act. Kaski Coordinator of Temporary Teacher's Movement 2055 Mr. Bisnumani Laamichaane said that temporary teachers are conducting sit-in all around Nepal as a form of symbolic movement.He also stated that the movement is going to be Kathmandu oriented from August 28 onwards. He further opined that the amendment in Education Act is against the Supreme Court's decision of 2010 February 7.Supreme Court had then stated that the untimely examination of Education Service Commission has excluded many temporary teachers from the facilities and services.Therefore,the court gave directive to soon open the permanency process for the temporary teachers. The new amendment requires either the temporary teachers should fight in Education Service Commission or leave by accepting the provided wholesome amount. According to temporary teachers, not all teachers should be brought into accepting the wholesome amount instead a fair selection should be made by conducting the examination of temporary teachers. अस्थायी शिक्षकहरुले शिक्षा ऐनको आठौ संशोधनले आफुहरुलाई विस्थापन गर्न लागेको भन्दै आन्दोलन घोषणा गरेका छन् । उनिहरुले मङ्लबार जिल्ला शिक्षा कार्यालय कास्कीमा १ घण्टा धर्ना दिएर आन्दोलन सुरुवात गरे । आस्थायी शिक्षक आन्दोलन २०५५ कास्कीका संयोजक बिष्णुमणी लामिछनेले अस्थायी शिक्षकरुले देशशभरी धर्ना दिएर सांकेतिक आन्दोलन गरेको बताए । उनले भदौ १२ गते देखी काठमांडौ केन्द्रित आन्दोलन गर्ने जानकारी दिए । उनले शिक्षा ऐन सर्वच्च अदालतको २०६६ साल माघ २४ गतेको फैसला विपरित भन्दै खारेजिको माग समेट गरे । सर्वच्च्ले शिक्षा सेवा आयोग समय समयमा नखुल्दा लामो समय देखी पढाउंदै आएका लामो समय देखी पढाउदै आएका आस्थायि शिक्षक उमेर हदका कारणले सेवा सुविधाबाट वन्चित हुन परेकाले स्थायी प्रकृयामा लैजानु पर्ने निर्देशात्मक फैसला गरेको थियो । शिक्षा ऐनले आस्थायी शिक्षकको हकमा कि त शिक्षा सेवा आयोग लड्नुपर्ने कि त एकुमुस्ट रकम लिएर विदाइ रोज्नु पर्ने ब्यवस्था गरेको छ । प्रतिस्पर्धा गराएर असफल हुने शिक्षकलाई मात्र सेवा सुविधा दिनुपर्ने आस्थायी शिक्षहरुले तर्क छ । आयोग नदिएसम्म शिक्षकलाई योग्य अयोग्य भन्न नमिल्ने अस्थायी शिक्षक आन्दोलनरत नारायणप्रशाद आचार्यले बताए ।
