Teachers from Lower Primary Schools in Kerala have continued their protest outside the state government office building, demanding that eligible candidates from the May 2025 list be appointed to available teaching posts.
The protest has now continued for 36 days, with teachers becoming increasingly frustrated over the delay. They say they have been waiting for appointments despite being included in the list of eligible candidates.
Hunger Strike Begins
As the protest continued without a clear solution, some teachers decided to begin a hunger strike. The move was taken to put greater pressure on the government and draw attention to their concerns.
The protesting teachers say the long delay is creating serious difficulties for candidates who have spent years preparing for government teaching jobs. Many of them are worried about their future because they do not know when the appointment process will move forward.
Candidates Demand Appointments
The teachers are mainly demanding appointments based on the May 2025 list of eligible candidates. They want the government to take steps to fill the available vacancies and provide appointment orders to qualified candidates.
The candidates argue that they have completed the required selection process and are waiting for the government to act.
For many candidates, securing a government teaching position is an important career goal. The continuing delay has therefore created financial and personal uncertainty.
Protest Continues Outside Government Office
The protest outside the government office building has attracted attention as the number of days increases.
The teachers have continued raising their demands and asking government officials to intervene. They want a clear decision rather than further delays.
The hunger strike has also increased the seriousness of the protest, as the teachers are using it to show how strongly they feel about the issue.
Growing Concern Among Candidates
The situation has caused growing concern among candidates on the eligible list. They fear that continued delays could affect their chances of receiving appointments.
Many candidates believe that the government should provide a clear explanation about the reason for the delay and announce a timeline for appointments.
They are also seeking assurance that eligible candidates will not lose their opportunity because of administrative delays.
Government Action Awaited
The teachers are now waiting for the government to respond to their demands and find a solution to the issue.
The continued protest shows the level of frustration among the candidates. If the issue is not resolved soon, the protest could become more intense.
For now, the teachers remain determined to continue their campaign until they receive a clear response regarding appointments from the May 2025 list. The coming days are expected to be important as both the protesting teachers and the government look for a way to resolve the dispute.
