Karimnagar, Aug 13 :-
Protesting against shortage of teachers in the 15 Government High Schools in Karimnagar district on Thursday, the villagers and parents locked up the schools. They did not allow even the teachers who attended the school.
According to the sources, while there are about 1,000 students in the school, only three teachers were available. Repeated appeals by the villagers did not yield any result. Irate over this, the villagers took this extreme step.
After submitting a memorandum to the District Collector urging him to appoint teachers on priority basis to the schools, the students took out padayatra.
They also urged the District Education Officer (DEO) to give posting orders to teachers on priority basis to the village schools.
The parents also demanded the DEO to provide basic amenities for all schools.
