Udupi, Feb 02, 2024: Students, parents, and alumni of Jai Hind Government Aided Higher Primary School at Bellampally, Kaup taluk in Udupi district, on Thursday protested in front of the school demanding permanent teachers for the school where 55 students study.

 

Parents and the alumni said no permanent teacher had been appointed to the school since its inception in 1947. For the last six years, a teacher from a nearby aided school is deputed every week to hold classes. A fortnight ago, a teacher from Havanje Aided Higher Primary School, who was deputed to the school, was changed and a teacher from ABT Aided Higher Primary School was assigned to take classes once a week. This teacher failed to take classes. The 55 students have been denied of teachers, they said.

The protesters said there are none in the school to issue study certificate.

The protesters said they would be forced to intensify the protest and block the movement of vehicles on the road adjoining the school if the government failed to act immediately to appoint regular teachers for the 55 students.
