With SSA teachers waiting now for more than five months since they were last paid a salary, the All Garo Hills SSA School Teachers’ Association (AGHSSASTA) has asked the West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner to instruct schools to exempt the children of SSA teachers from paying fees while their salary dues are still pending.
“It’s nearly six months that we have not been paid and this is leading to the fees of our children remaining unpaid for the past few months,” AGHSSASTA said in a memo. “Given the current situation we are going through, we should be exempted from paying the fees of our children until our dues are cleared.”
