In Pursuit of Better Remuneration

The demand for enhancement of remuneration by evaluators of Intermediate and SSC examination papers is gaining strength for quite some time now. After the recent protest by Intermediate examination evaluators at a spot evaluation center in city, teachers too have also put forth their demands for enhancement of perks. In case of Intermediate paper, the authorities were able to quell the demand tentatively, but school teachers have already given their list of demands and asked the government to enhance their remuneration.

Evaluation for the intermediate examination papers has been going on whereas the spot evaluation for SSC examination papers would commence on April 11 at two major centers in the city. Private Lecturers Organization of Telangana (PLOT) president G Narasimha Reddy who is on a fast demanding enhancement of remuneration said that out of the total number of evaluators, about 80 per cent of them were private junior lecturers. He said that private lecturers have been working on meager allowances and perks for the evaluation.

“We had called for a strike from April 2 to 6 but in vain and called off the strike in the larger interest of the students. However, we will continue to put forward our demands,” he informed. Reddy is on a hunger strike at Pragathi Mahavidyalaya campus where the spot evaluation is going on. The evaluation for Intermediate examination papers is being conducted at five different centers in the city. On the other hand teachers and teacher unions are also demanding that the perks must be enhanced. 

Teacher organizations argue that after the implementation of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), teachers would have to take more strain while correcting answer sheets. Telangana Teachers’ Federation president A Ramchandram said that since the examination pattern was new, evaluators must also be provided with increased remunerations accordingly. Evaluation for the SSC examination papers would commence from April 11 at two centers in city. One is at Secunderabad and one at Dilsukhnagar. 

At the same time, teachers have also demanded for early payment of evaluation remuneration unlike the usual practice. State Teachers’ Union state secretary Abdul Samad said that generally teachers don’t get their remuneration on time. He said, “authorities take our bank account numbers, but do not credit the remuneration on time. It takes some five to six months for remuneration to be credited into our account.” He said that TA should also be increased for teachers who come from long distances to the spot evaluation centers.
