Summary:
In this situation, government school teachers across the State have demanded the government to halt all training programmes until the public exams get over. They expressed inability to prepare students for the exams as many teachers are being instructed to compulsorily attend training and workshops. For instance, teachers were called for an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training on Monday and Tuesday, while they have to attend training on the National Achievement Survey on Wednesday and Thursday. Thousands of teachers have been called for these training programmes and many of them teach students who will soon appear for the public exams. The government should stop calling teachers for training until the exams are over, demanded PK Ilamaran of the Tamil Nadu Government Teachers Association..
