Associations representing teachers met the Higher Education Secretary D. Karthikeyan on Monday to put forth their demands.
The teachers have been demanding implementation of Career Advancement Scheme that has been pending for over a decade for government and aided college teachers.
Representatives of Association of University Teachers said they discussed their predicament with the official. “Some teachers appointed in 2006 have either retired or on the verge of retirement but have not received even one promotion,” said N. Pasupathi, former president.
