Madras high court
CHENNAI: Censuring government teachers who are boycotting classes as part of their protest along with other state government employees demanding implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, Justice N Kirubakaran of the Madras high court on Wednesday said such boycotts and strikes by teachers were also a primary reason for government school students' low marks in NEET.
"Only five government school students from the state have managed to secure medical seats. Protesting teachers should feel ashamed of this fact. They should know their responsibility. Such persons cannot involve in strikes," Justice Kirubakaran said.
The judge then directed the government to file a report by September 18 explaining the steps taken to bring the protests to an end.
