Jammu: Hundreds of 'Rehbar-e-Khel' teachers from across Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday staged a peaceful protest here, seeking reduction in their probationary period from seven to five years. The teachers, who have been agitating for the last 29 days, gathered outside the Press Club and urged the administration to adhere to their one-point demand.
Under the 'Rehbar-e-Khel' scheme, youngsters were selected to provide physical education teachers to government schools in 2019. "We have completed four years of service and want the government to fulfill its promise of regularising our services after five years as was done with 'Rehbar-e-Taleem' teachers," Rehbar-e-Khel teachers association president Dheeraj Salaria said.
