New Delhi, Feb 26 (UNI) The All India Primary Teachers' Federation (ALPTF) today launched its two-day agitation to protest against the ''unjust'' provisions of the Model Right to Education Bill and press for their other demands.

The demonstrators held a rally, which commenced at the Ram Lila Maidan, in which teachers from all across the country participated.

The teachers said School Based Management Committee and School Based Cadre are the two provisions of the Bill which need to be amended.

ALPTF President Ram Pal Singh said the agitation was being organised to draw the attention of the Government towards certain ''unjust'' provisions of the Model Right to Education Bill and their other demands.

''These unjust provisions in the Bill need to be amended... The bill if passed will lead to total collapse of the administration of education throughout the country,'' he added.

He claimed that the Government had forced the teachers to take to streets as it had completely ignored their demands.
