Kohima: Heeding to the demands of several local organisations regarding appointment of local youths for government services, the Nagaland Government is now facing severe crisis of teachers.
Over 100 students of a Government High School in Dimapur are appearing for HSLC examinations without a Mathematics teacher, who was transferred last November. It was also surprising that the Nagaland School Education Department is frequently transferring the Government teachers in the middle of the course, without making arrangement for a substitute teacher. This has compelled the students to come out to streets demanding appointment of teachers.
The students of Government High School (GHS) Diphupar in Dimapur town on Tuesday took out a protest rally from the school premises to NH-29 demanding that mathematics subject teacher for the school be appointed. Organised by Diphuphar Naga Students Union (DNSU), the protest rally began at 0900 hrs.
According to DNSU president Sakulemba Jamir, the protest was jointly called by Diphuphar Women Organisation (DWO), Diphupar Youth Organisation (DYO), Diphuphar Village council (DVC) and tribal units as the authority failed to fulfil demands even after several appeals. Besides, DNSU and GHS students, the representatives from DWO, DYO, DVC and tribal units also took part in the rally. Later, the Deputy District Education Officer (DDEO) Dimapur R Amongla Jamir also arrived and said that she has already forwarded the matter to the Department, adding that the higher authorities needed to look after the matter at the earliest as assured.
She also handed over a notice from the education department to DNSU which stated that a graduate teacher (Mathematics) from Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Dimapur would be deputed to Diphupar on temporary measures.
