College teachers' will refrain from participating in the upcoming college students' union election which is scheduled for March 6 if their demands are not met.
FEGOCTA said this in a statement issued today and added that college teachers have been protesting for the last 21 days, but the Government is yet to implement the 7th UGC Pay for college teachers.
FEGOCTA appreciates the initiative of the Education Minister for a dialogue on February 21, however, the association has decided not to call off its protest as no consensus was reached, added the statement.
The statement also clarified that the decision to refrain from participating in the college students' union election is simply an act in concurrence with FEGOCTA's protest and does not mean that the association is against the election.
