The Kerala Pradesh School Teachersâ Association (KPSTA) has criticised the government for conducting this yearâs State and district school festivals even as arrears due to teachersâ organisations for the festivals last year are allegedly pending.
Those who had taken up the operation of various committees for the festivals have financial liability running into lakhs, the KPSTA said in a statement.
Conducting school Olympics without taking steps to promote student talents, including through appointment of physical education teachers, would damage the general education sector. The government should take teachersâ organisations into confidence and hold talks with them to strengthen the general education sector, the KPSTA said in a statement on Wednesday.
