Teachers Protest School Complex System in Himachal Pradesh
Teachers in Himachal Pradesh are very upset about a new system called the School Complex System.
This system puts many schools under one principal, which the teachers say is bad for education.
They marched for 15 days and are now on a hunger strike in Shimla.
They want the government to stop this system and listen to their concerns.
Many teachers, even those who have retired, are supporting this protest.
They hope the Chief Minister will come and talk to them to solve the problem.
Thousands of primary teachers in Himachal Pradesh launched an indefinite hunger strike in Shimla against the School Complex System.
The protest was organized by the Himachal Pradesh Primary Teachers Federation and saw participation from serving and retired teachers, mid-day meal workers, and other education sector employees.
Teachers demand the rollback of the School Complex System, which they allege weakens primary education by reducing administrative autonomy.
The hunger strike will continue until the government accepts their demands and withdraws the new system.
The protest coincides with Kargil Vijay Diwas, and teachers have warned of further agitation if their concerns are ignored.
