The Kerala School Teachers Association staged a one day hunger strike at the Martyr’s Square in Trivandrum protesting against the education policies drafted by the United Democratic Front government. The association demanded the government to bring down the teacher-student ratio so as to ensure the job security of thousand of teachers working in government and aided schools in the state.
The association also demanded the government to appoint specialist teachers in every school and change the number of schooling days for vocational higher secondary schools as well.
