In a bold move, ten unemployed teachers have initiated an indefinite hunger strike opposite the Bikash Bhavan, demanding the release of a list of eligible candidates for teaching positions. Thier protest follows an unproductive meeting with the SSC Chairman,where they expressed their frustration over the ongoing job crisis. The teachers are adamant that they will not allow their rightful opportunities to be snatched away and are calling for immediate transparency in the recruitment process.
The teachers argue that it is unjust for them to retake the same examination after seven years of service, especially when corruption has marred the hiring process. On friday, they escalated their efforts by meeting with Speaker Biman Banerjee at the state assembly, seeking his intervention in their plight.This gathering of voices highlights the urgent need for accountability and fairness in the education sector, as these educators fight not just for their jobs, but for the integrity of the system itself. The emotional weight of their struggle resonates deeply, as they stand firm in their belief that every deserving teacher should have a fair chance at employment.
