Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh government has constituted two committees headed by director of elementary education and director of school education to study genuine problems faced by teachers in the recent mass transfer, Parliamentary Secretary for Education Bamang Felix informed here today.
The mass transfer of 567 teachers last month from East Siang district, where teacher were posted in excess to the prescribed strength had evoked wide-spread reactions among the teaching communities across the state.
“It has been the endeavour of the state government to ensure that quantity and quality education is provided to each and every child of the state and for ensuring so, rationalization of teachers’ posting was urgently necessitated as many schools in the interior villages have been running with shortage of teachers while many others had excessive teachers,” Felix told a press conference here.
Felix said, taking into consideration of a few genuine problems affected to teachers in the recent mass transfer, the government decided to constitute the committees to study the individual representations received from teachers from elementary as well as secondary education. (PTI)
