# Kerala government talks end teacher job aspirants’ strike 2026-08-14T17:10:52+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On Friday, candidates who cleared the Kerala PSC test for upper primary school teacher posts ended their indefinite stir after talks with state General Education Minister N Samsudheen. The minister gave favourable assurances, prompting the withdrawal of the protest. Earlier in the week, lower primary teacher aspirants had ended their 40-day stir on similar terms after the same minister held talks. The Deccan Herald reports that the Congress government in Kerala held these back-to-back negotiations amid criticism from BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar. He had accused the government of neglecting jobless youths even as its leaders supported student protests in Delhi, and warned of a major mass stir if grievances were not addressed. The job aspirants had been protesting delays in appointments after clearing recruitment tests. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: BJP, Congress, Kerala, Kerala PSC, N.
