Pvt lecturers sent back from valuation centres

Lecturers from private unaided colleges staged a protest outside a few pre-university answer script evaluation centres on Friday condemning the Department of Pre-University Education’s decision to decline their services after issuing orders asking them to report for evaluation duty a few days ago.

On Friday, a few lecturers staged a protest outside centres like KLE College where Kannada paper evaluation is going on and BES College where the Hindi paper evaluation is being done.

The PU department had issued orders to the private college lecturers with five years’ experience to report for evaluation duty. However, it told them to not report for duty anymore after the government PU lecturers stopped their protest and joined the evaluation process. An evaluation official said there was bound to be some resentment, especially after unaided lecturers chipped in when the government needed them the most during the PU lecturers’ stir at Freedom Park.
