<h1>School advisor urges contract teachers to return, citing harm to students; government open to due process and a committee review</h1> The state's school education advisor urged a group of agitating contract teachers to return to classrooms and await the court's decision in their case seeking regularisation of services, saying the dispute is sub judice and children's education is being harmed. The government reiterated it is open to implementing any eventual court order but stressed due process and financial implications, noting the teachers were appointed under central schemes on contractual terms with termination clauses and bonds. A government committee will study the issue with or without teacher participation; the protesting teachers rejected interim proposals and said they will intensify their agitation.
