News 18  

Schools in Kerala reopened on June 1 after being shut for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. These teachers taught in Multi Grade Learning Centres in the tribal areas and were among the 344 teachers who lost their jobs after these centres were shut down by the government on March 31. National award-winning teacher K R Usha Kumari is among the group of teachers forced to work as sweepers in schools. Usha Kumari has more than a dozen state and national awards for her impeccable service as a teacher, providing education to tribal students at an MGLC in Kerala. Despite putting in 23 years in service as an MGLC single teacher, they will consider only my current role as sweeper grade for six years,” Usha Kumari further added.
