Maharashtra Teacher Protest: The schools of Maharashtra were earlier expected to stay closed on July 8 and 9, as a result of planned protest by teachers on these dates. However, the Director of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Mahesh Palekar has clarified the schools will remain open on July 8 and 9 as stated by My Pune Pulse. The protest, however, will continue until the teachers' demands are addressed.
The protest will be led by major teacher unions such as the Maharashtra State Headmasters' Association and the Joint Headmasters' Association.
Background On the Protest
This ongoing agitation traces back to August 2024 when the teachers had protested for 75 days continuously and asked to increase the financial aid for aided and partially aided schools.
Even though the state cabinet had agreed to fulfill the demands in October 2024, the final Government Resolution (GR) failed to provide the requested funds, causing frustration among teachers and plans for a fresh round of protests.
