The Kerala Aided L.P. &U.P.

School vs State Of Kerala on 3 May, 2013

WP(C).No. 19008 of 2013 (A)
Case Summary
Facts
The highest literacy rate achieved by the State of Kerala, as against the comparably low
literacy rate of the other States, has been achieved only by reason of the inroads made in
education through the KE Act and KER and the aided schools. But, despite the working of
the KER, for 5 decades and half a dozen connected cases years; and the numerous orders,
circulars and clarifications issued by the Government, as also the decisions of this Court and
the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the grievances of teachers have not been redressed fully. The
vagaries of the Managers as also the statutory mode of fixation of staff strength; often
encased with the threat of retrenchment, has led to considerable uncertainty in the aided
sector, leading to widespread disgruntlement among the teachers.
