TURA: The indifferent attitude of teachers towards students from rural areas is not something unheard of in Garo Hills.
In another such case of negligence by those entrusted to shape the future of the children, teachers of two West Garo Hills schools–Rongsep Kamagre LP School and the SSA LP School-have allegedly failed to turn up since the resumption of the current academic year.
According to villagers, 30 students studying in Rongsep Kamagre LP School and 40 in SSA LP School have been deprived of their education due to the negligence of the teachers.
The current state of affairs in the two schools was twice brought to the notice of the DI of Schools by the villagers. However, neither an enquiry nor any action has been taken against the erring school teachers or their authorities, villagers claimed
As a last resort the villagers recently approached the interim body of the Garo Students’ Union (GSU), CEC who after conducting a spot inquiry have now demanded action against the guilty officials and headmasters of the respective schools.
