Talks between Minister of State for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Ratnakar and lecturers over evaluation of II PUC answer sheets failed again on Wednesday.
The minister tried hard till late in the evening to make the lecturers come to an agreement, but they didn’t relent. The Karnataka State PU Lecturers’ Association said the government wanted the lecturers to report for evaluation duty without any precondition.
“The government implored us citing the paper leaks and the plight of parents and students,” Ningegowda A H, general secretary of the association, said.
“All it said was that it will try to implement the G Kumar Naik report by September. It refused to make an immediate commitment without consulting the Finance Department.”
Ningegowda said the association would take a decision after consulting its office bearers. “As of now, the protest will go on. We want nothing but implementation of the Kumar Naik report. We want better pay and other benefits.”
