Contractual teachers: Bihar Rajya Navniyukta Prathamik Shikshak Sangh general secretary Premchandra Neeraj said the contractual teachers will not settle for “lollipops” but stick to their demand of hike in salaries. His statement came as a reply to state education minister’s comment that the teachers, at the time of contract, were made aware of details of the terms and conditions of the service and there was no eligibility test for them at that time. Neeraj said that state government had recruited contractual teachers without test to gain “cheap publicity” and it was in no way the fault of teachers for which they should be penalized.
