An organisation of primary teachers on Wednesday demanded that the West Bengal government hike the grade pay of head masters of primary schools.
The West Bengal Primary Trained Teachers Association (WBPTTA) demanded that the grade pay of head masters be hiked to Rs 3,900-4,100 and threatened to hit the street from next week, if the demand is not met.
WBPTTA president Pintu Parui told PTI that the announcement of West Bengal government on July 26 hiking the grade pay of primary teachers from Rs 2,600 to Rs 3,600 did not refer to the "all important issues of pay fixation, pay protection and additional increments of senior teachers having worked for years in schools."
