Farmers' Union Protests Teacher Vacancies in Karnataka Schools
Farmers' union in Karnataka protested because there are not enough teachers in government schools.
They say this is making education bad for kids, especially those from poor families.
They want the government to fill the empty teacher jobs and make sure all schools have good teachers.
They also want schools to be in every village and for all kids to get the same good education.
They say private schools are taking over, and that's not fair.
They want the government to do something about it soon.
Karnataka Pranta Raitha Sangha (KPRS) protested in Kalaburagi demanding the filling of vacant teaching posts in government schools.
Official data shows 14,139 vacant teacher posts in Primary Schools and 3,495 in High Schools across Karnataka.
Protesters claim the education system in Kalyana Karnataka is collapsing, disadvantageing children from poor families.
They allege that over 25,000 government schools have been shut down or merged, strengthening private sector dominance.
The union demands a uniform education policy, dual-medium CBSE education, and residential CBSE schools in every Gram Panchayat.
