Maharashtra Teachers’ Association Boycotts Paper Evaluation Until Government Decision is Enforced
MLA Jayant Asgaonkar and Khanderao Jagdale, the vice president of the state action committee of the teachers’ association, have announced a statewide boycott of the evaluation of 10th and 12th-grade papers. The boycott will persist until the state government enforces the decision made on October 14, 2024.
The Maharashtra government approved a proposal on October 10, 2024, regarding the restructuring of stages for primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools and class sections during the cabinet meetings. A government resolution was issued on October 14. However, in the past four months, no action has been taken. The association said that the necessary funding should have been approved during the winter session, but the government has not made a decision yet.
As a result of the protest, 12th-grade exam papers that were submitted for checking have been returned to the Kolhapur Board. Teachers have declared that no papers will be evaluated until their demands are met.
The statement in this regard was given to divisional president Rajesh Kshirsagar and secretary Subhash Chougule. Several leaders and teachers participated in the protest, including MLA Jayant Asgaonkar, Shivaji Kurane, Kedar Magdoom, and Shivaji Ghatge
.
With the boycott still in effect, the evaluation process for board exams remains uncertain.
