Tribute

It is with profound sorrow the untimely demise of an esteemed teachers’ leader, Mr. Ram Pal Singh Ji, President of the All India Primary Teachers’ Federation on 22nd September 2023.

Mr. Ram Pal Singh born and raised in the Uttar Pradesh, India, he entered the profession at the age of 21. He joined the teachers’ union in Uttar Pradesh and rose through the ranks to become General Secretary in 1985. He was arrested 10 times for leading agitations in pursuit of better salaries for teachers and quality education for children. In 1993, Mr. Ram Pal Singh ascended to the position of General Secretary of the All India Primary Teachers’ Federation and in 1997 took on the role of President, a position he held unwaveringly until his passing.

Mr. Ram Pal Singh Ji, served in the Regional Committees and Executive Boards of Education International. He served tirelessly to bring teachers in all countries together in solidarity. At the time of his death, he was Vice Chairperson of the Education International Asia Pacific Regional Committee and a member of the Education International Executive Board.

He also served in many governments appointed councils shaping education policies. He played a vital role in improving salaries of teachers through Pay Commissions’ recommendations and helped enactment of the ‘Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act” in India. He was a staunch crusader for trade union and human rights and was always concerned on the impact of any policy on the poor and the vulnerable.

His commitment and dedication to the causes were such that the day he was stricken by the fatal blood clotting in his brain he was working in the union office to organize a teachers’ march. As we mourn the loss, let us remember and honor his relentless dedication, unwavering spirit, and selfless service to the cause of education and the rights of teachers. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of educators and unionists to stand up for what is right and just.

In this time of grief, our thoughts are with Mr. Singh’s family and loved ones. We will forever cherish the memories of our dear friend and leader, and his legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all those he touched with his remarkable work.
