Nagpur: Multiple teachers’ and non-teaching staff unions across Maharashtra have announced a statewide school shutdown on Friday, December 5, 2025, in protest against what they describe as the state government’s “unfair and negligent decisions.”
The Maharashtra State Education Institutions Federation has officially extended its support to the agitation and instructed all member schools to remain closed on the protest day.

The primary demands include the immediate cancellation of the ongoing recruitment through the Pavitra Portal, urgent commencement of recruitment for non-teaching staff, release of long-pending non-salary grants, waiver of property tax for schools and educational institutions, and installation of solar power systems in government-aided schools. Unions have also demanded complete reimbursement of pending funds under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
Federation President Ravindra Fadnavis has urged the government to call an emergency meeting to address these long-standing issues. He emphasized that the government must act promptly in the interest of teachers and to ensure quality education in the state.
Teacher unions believe that this statewide shutdown will help draw the government’s attention to their long-pending demands and bring much-needed relief to teaching and non-teaching staff across Maharashtra.
