In response to a call given by the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Teachers’ Organisations (FAPTO), teachers across the State staged demonstrations at the offices of the Education Department demanding repeal of the GO 117.
In a statement on Thursday, United Teachers’ Federation State president N. Venkateswarlu and general secretary K.S.S. Prasad said the large-scale protest by teachers in Vijayawada at Dharna Chowk was a grand success. The UTF leaders said the measures proposed for re-apportionment of the teaching staff in government schools would debilitate the education system.
