West Bengal Teachers Push for National Protest After Mass Job Annulments

Over 25,000 school staff lost jobs following a Supreme Court ruling on recruitment fraud, with affected teachers now planning to expand their movement to Delhi.

The Supreme Court annulled over 25,000 teaching and non-teaching appointments due to irregularities in West Bengal's 2016 recruitment process.
Eligible teachers argue they are being unfairly penalized and demand reinstatement for those not involved in fraudulent practices.
Protests have intensified in Kolkata, with organizers seeking to take the movement beyond West Bengal, particularly to Delhi, for broader support.
The School Service Commission (SSC) is under fire for failing to distinguish between fraudulent and legitimate hires, exacerbating the crisis.
The All Bengal Teachers Association has called for a rally at the SSC headquarters on April 17, demanding transparency in recruitment and protection for deserving educators.
