Nagaland Govt. Urges Teachers to End Protest, Await Court Ruling

Teachers in Nagaland are protesting, wanting the government to make their jobs permanent.

The government official in charge of education says the matter is with the court now and teachers should go back to school.

He pointed out the students are missing out on classes, as many come from families that do not have a lot of money.

The government wants to help but says it needs to be careful because of money.

Teachers are currently paid more than some others but want full government jobs.

The government is setting up a group to look at the issue, but the teachers say they will not stop until the government gives them a permanent solution.
