Margao, Sept 6: Former Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Amit Patkar on Sunday called for political parties to rise above differences and collectively address the long-pending issues faced by teaching and non-teaching employees across Goa.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at a Teachers\u2019 Town Hall organised at Gomant Vidya Niketan, Margao, Patkar said teachers continue to face low remuneration, contractual uncertainty, delayed salaries, pending service benefits and lack of job security.<\/p>\n

The Town Hall was attended by Goa Forward Party president and Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai and AAP MLA Capt. Venzy Viegas. Patkar said their participation demonstrated that teachers\u2019 rights should transcend political boundaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood politics is not about asking who gets the credit. Good politics is about asking whether the problem of the people has been solved,\u201d Patkar said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted concerns of pre-primary teachers reportedly earning \u20b95,000 to \u20b910,000 per month, besides issues faced by contractual, lecture-basis, vocational and other teachers as well as non-teaching employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot demand permanent commitment from teachers while giving them temporary security,\u201d he said, adding that symbolic Teachers\u2019 Day celebrations were meaningless unless backed by concrete policy decisions.<\/p>\n

Patkar demanded a comprehensive, time-bound review covering remuneration, regularisation, pending salaries, vacancies, promotions, service conditions, benefits and social security across Goa\u2019s education sector.<\/p>\n

He assured that issues raised during the Town Hall would be documented and pursued with the Education Department, Government and in the Assembly through opposition representatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers do not need sympathy. They need justice. Those who give our children a future deserve certainty about their own future,\u201d Patkar said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
