Lecturers boycott evaluation process at Bengaluru

Bengaluru: Lecturers from government colleges under the Bangalore University staged a protest and boycotted evaluation process of undergraduate examinations.

Lecturers protested on the Central College premises and refused to allow any lecturer to start the evaluation of answer papers. 

Some of the lecturers were asked to repay the arrears they were paid though they were not eligible to receive it which led the protest.

The lecturers have also threatened to barge into Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayaraddi’s residence.

Their protest has received the support of several MLCs.

H. Prakash, president of the Karnataka Government College Teachers’ Association, said they will continue their protest as they have not yet received any solution on the matter nor has the educational department heard their grievances.
