On Teacher’s Day on Wednesday PU lecturers will come out with their demands again and stage a symbolic protest at Freedom Park.

This time around, the Karnataka State PU College Lecturers’ Association (KSPCLA) is ready to let go of most of their contentious demand on wage discrepancies.

“Don’t give us hikes. At least, give us promotions that are due,” said association president Thimmaiah Purle.

According to him, nearly 1,000 lecturers who have M Phil and PhD are due for promotions to degree colleges.

“We have lost the hope of removal of wage discrepancies. We know nothing will happen as long as this government is in power. We can understand that the government is not in a position to give us hikes. We are only expecting administrative decisions such as changes in the Cadre and Recruitment Rules,” Purle added.

Last April, scores of PU lecturers boycotted four days of II PUC evaluations, causing worry to parents and students alike.

At the end of the ordeal, however, the state government had the last laugh as the lecturers withdrew their campaign. KSPCLA is also wary on the implementation of R Govinda committee report that suggests merger of High School and PU Education.

“The report speaks of systemic changes. However, no parent, teacher or student was consulted. This is not done,” said Manjunath S, organising secretary, KSPCLA.

Veteran freedom fighter H S Doreswamy, who had asked the agitating lecturers to call off their strike last time, will lead the lecturers again this Wednesday.

“Though we will not boycott work any more, we will continue to make ourselves heard. Let us see how long the government will treat us like this,” said Manjunath.

No official from the Education Department was available for comment.

Primary and Secondary Education Secretary G Kumar Naik told Express that pending promotions would also be looked into at the earliest.

“For wage discrepancies, however, the lecturers will have to hold on,” he said.
