Shillong, Sep 23: Teachers under the banner of the Federation of All School Teachers of Meghalaya (FASTOM) on Tuesday decided to continue with their indefinite sit-in demonstration after the government could not promise if its demand for the upgrade of all ad hoc schools to the deficit system will be met.

Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui held a meeting with a delegation of the teachers, who had been protesting since September 22.

FASTOM vice-president Sanborn Jungai told reporters that the Education Minister informed the delegation that in the coming weeks the department will discuss how to rationalize the different categories of schools in the state.

“The Education Minister told us that he cannot give us an assurance to upgrade the ad-hoc category of teachers,” Jungai said.
