Meghalaya SSA Teachers' Association writes to Education Minister over delay in salary
The association, in a letter, addressed to the Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui, highlighted the plight of the SSA teachers who haven’t received their salaries for the last four months, pushing them into unprecedented crisis.
Expressing disappointment over the delay in getting salaries, the All Meghalaya Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) School Teachers' Association (AMSSASTA) has requested the Meghalaya government to release the pending salary of four months from June to September 2021 before October 25.
The association, in a letter, addressed to the Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui, highlighted the plight of the SSA teachers who haven’t received their salaries for the last four months, pushing them into unprecedented crisis.
General secretary of the association, Defender S. Lamare, in the letter, pointed that the teachers received their last salary in August 2021. The salary for four months June, July, August, and September are still pending, and that the government should release them given the critical situation that the teachers are in.
"Seeing the plight of teachers, and their families, with the normal school duty that has resumed, it has put us into a very critical situation (sic)," the letter read.
The Association further said that the salary will help them in a big way to perform normal duty at school.
