Thousands of primary and secondary teachers of government-aided schools across the Uttar Pradesh are up in arms against the Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s move to enforce the National Pension System (NPS) and monitoring of teachers through Prerna App, which entails clicking three selfies a day and upload these. On Thursday afternoon, a massive rally named ‘Shikshak Samman Bachao Maha Rally’ was organised at Eco Garden in Lucknow on a call given by UP Secondary Teachers’ Union. Teachers from primary schools, junior high schools and degree colleges also and participated in the rally. Among other things, the teachers are demanding the old pension scheme that has guaranteed returns.
