TURA: Parents of Tura Public School students, on Friday, met Tura MP, Agatha Sangma, and submitted a memorandum urging her to look into the various needs of the school as well as the upgradation of its infrastructure. The parents, while demanding the appointment of a full-fledged principal in the school, also sought the introduction of 10+2 (Science stream) for the benefit of the local students.

The parents pointed out that despite 38 years of the school’s establishment, it continues to function without the higher secondary level. With regard to building infrastructure, the parents, while pointing out that there was very limited space, called for its upgradation so that classes can be divided into two sections, thereby enhancing the intake capacity of students.

They also sought the appointment of more qualified teachers to make way for its upgradation to a 10+2 level in the near future. The parents, in the memorandum, also demanded the construction of a playground, boundary wall and water storage tank, and to divert the PWD main road from NH-51 to Tura Polytechnic which bypasses the school, so as to ease the inconvenience faced by students. In addition, reminding that the current COVID-19 situation has greatly impacted the students’ physical and mental health, the parents reiterated the need for introducing 10+2 in the school and urged that urgent steps are taken for the same so that the school’s outgoing class 10 students do not have to seek elsewhere to pursue higher studies.
