Overview
- Thousands of guest teachers rallied in Bhopal under the School Guest Teachers United Front, accusing the Madhya Pradesh government of breaking pre‑election promises on job security and benefits.
- Organisers say about 125,000 educators could lose work after April 30 if the state does not approve 12‑month contracts for guest teachers.
- The charter of demands calls for a special departmental eligibility test with at least 30% of posts set aside for guest teachers, bonus marks in hiring, greater weight for years of service, and year‑round contracts.
- Teachers report that the e‑attendance system often blocks logins and triggers pay cuts, with some honorariums unpaid since September, and they seek an offline fallback and immediate clearance of dues.
- Protesters cite past assurances from Jyotiraditya Scindia and Shivraj Singh Chouhan yet note no decision so far, and they warn of a state‑wide escalation that could disrupt staffing in government schools.
