Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Finance Ministry says it will reduce the salaries of teachers who refuse to teach for nine days in July to make up for lost class time during the weeks-long nationwide pandemic lockdown.
The warning by finance officials comes amid a brewing fight between the Education Ministry and teachers’ unions over the added days during summer break.
