For the sake of their students, the Mizoram synod, the highest body of the Presbyterian Church, requested the two Presbyterian schools- Synod HSS and PC Girls School to conduct regular classes.
However, the two schools remained closed today along with 14 other church-run schools across Mizoram as teachers of Mizoram deficit mission schools started their indefinite strike from today. About 10,000 students in the 16 deficit mission schools would suffer their teachers strike.
The schools included those of the Roman Catholics, which are considered the best schools in Mizoram.
The teachers had been demanding hike in the salaries in line with Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, introduction of pension scheme and application of modified ACP.
They had taken mass casual leave for a week and decided to go on an indefinite strike after the state Education Minister Lalsawta failed to give them any concrete promise, they said.
