The Federation has denounced the apprentice system in teachers recruitment, which was introduced in 1994, with the aim of reducing the pay scales of teachers and super exploiting the new teachers on contract. The government has appointed as many as two lakh teachers in the past 15 years under the contract scheme and profited by Rs 3,000 crore by paying a paltry stipend to the teachers.
