"The teachers will be required to fill the certificate in the format available on Directorate of Education's website and get the same signed by principal of the particular school," an official statement said.
The decision has been taken after Delhi Guest Teachers Association had raised the issued with Deputy chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
"To address various demands of guest teachers, Delhi government has formed a high level committee headed by the Principal Secretary (Finance). The panel will deliberate on demands including fix salary for guest teachers, provisions of maternity leave and casual leave," the statement added.
