Re: [MTC Global] Mumbai schoolteacher forced to sell idlis on streets for a living

I believe in economic principle of 
"DEMAND AND SUPPLY" 
Is there a demand for Marathi Education in Maharashtra? Even a Maid servant in the house sends her children to English Medium. WHY SO? 
Every one thinks by learning English their children can go to Foreign Nations and 'make more money' or will get top jobs even in India. This kind of thinking is shrinking the demand for vernacular language school. 
If Government makes Sanskrit Language compulsory for top jobs like IAS,IPS,IFS and other UPSC posts people will start learning Sanskrit for the sake of Competitive jobs. I believe.

After working as teacher at a school in Kalyan near Mumbai for 14 years, Dilip Raje, 52, is now forced to sell idlis on the streets for a living. Reason: the school education department's decision to do away with surplus teachers in Marathi medium schools.

Raje, who was sacked in September 2016, used to teach social science and Marathi at Shishu Vikas Madhyamik School, Beturkarpada. "I always wanted to be a full-time teacher. I was promised a full-time post, but they never fulfilled it," said Raje

He was paid Rs6,000 as part-time teacher. His post was approved in 2009, after which his salary increased to Rs15,000 a month.

Raje is the only earning member of his family. His son is 17 years old, while his daughter is 2.

"I approached the education department to consider our demands and find a way to protect our jobs. At least 52 teachers from Thane and Palghar lost their jobs," said Raje.

Raje puts up his makeshift stall at Vasant Valley in Kalyan (West). " I don't hesitate, but I am not satisfied with what I am doing. I enjoy teaching and I wish to work as a teacher all my life," said Raje, who plans to move court.

According to the new rules, a batch of 30 students from Class 1 to 5 and a batch of 35 students from Class 6 to 8 can have only one teacher.
