The temporary teachers had been protesting putting forth various demands including a ninth amendment to the Education Act. Other demands include ensuring that teachers’ vacancy will not be opened until 45 days of the day the act is amendment and the examination will be held only after the amendment. The Federation has suggested that the teachers’ examinations set by the Teacher Service Commission earlier for August 19 should not be halted under any pretext. त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालयका आंगिक प्राध्यापकले करारको माग गदै आजदेखि रिले अनशन शुरु गरेका छन् । कम्तीमा एक शैक्षिक सत्र पढाएका आंगिक प्राध्यापकलाई करारमा नियुक्ति दिनुपर्ने माग गदै रिले अनशन शुरु गरिएको आंगिक प्राध्यापक संघका सदस्य घमराज लुइँटेलले बताए । आंगिक प्राध्यापकले उपकुलपतिको कार्यालय अगाडि आज बिहान ८ बजेदेखि अनशन शुरु गरेका हुन् । लुइँटेलका अनुसार साउन २२ गतेसम्म अनशन सञ्चालन हुनेछ । उनीहरुले नियमित रुपमा त्रिवि सेवा आयोगबाट उप–प्राध्यापकको विज्ञापन खुलाउनुपर्ने र शिक्षाको गुणस्तर सुधार गर्नुपर्ने समेत माग राखेका छन् । अनशनबाट हाम्रा माग सम्बोधन नभए कडा आन्दोलन गर्ने उनले जानकारी दिए । विसं २०६१ देखि त्रिविको केन्द्रीय क्याम्पस कीर्तिपुरसहित देशभरिका त्रिविका आंगिक क्याम्पसमा करिब एक हजार २०० आंगिक प्राध्यापक छन् । आंगिक प्राध्यापकले प्रति शिक्षणबापत रु ३६० पाउने गर्दछन् ।
