Bengaluru, Jun 29: The department of education has decided to withhold salary of teachers and lecturers in aided high schools and pre university colleges who have not performed well during the last five years.
“There are 3,795 aided high schools and 797 aided pre university colleges in the state. Thousands of teachers teach in them. As the schools and colleges are aided, the government releases funds for salaries. Teachers and lecturers allegedly do not conduct lessons properly. Therefore, their students secure less marks every year. Teachers are likely to wake up if the salaries are withheld.
The results in the state which have seen a downward trend spoil the standard of education and the future of children. It also causes loss to government treasury. Therefore, we will see the performance before releasing funds,” states a circular by the department of education.
