TURA: The appointment of a non-Garo Headmaster when there is a need for a Garo teacher in a school in Tikrikilla has angered the people of the area. Local Garo Students’ Union (GSU) along with the school’s own managing committee, parents and guardians and citizens have demanded the immediate termination of the newly appointed head.
Jaydul Islam Sarkar, who was recently appointed as headmaster in Tikrikilla Upgraded RMSA Secondary School has also been accused of misconduct and highhandedness by both the staff and the school SMC. The appointment of a non-Garo headmaster has created problems for the students as the school currently does not have a MIL (Garo) teacher.
The GSU which is taking up the matter cited an incident where Sarkar had tried to appoint an unqualified Garo teacher in the school without the consent and knowledge of either the staff or the managing committee.
The complainants have also written several letters to the District Project Coordinator of RMSA in Tura urging the authority to remove Sarkar and to bring in his place, Tharsius A Marak who has been appointed as the headmaster of Selsella RMSA Secondary School at the same time when Sarkar was appointed in Tikrikilla.
