Only 18.9pc teachers in eastern Nagaland: ENSF
ENSF General Secretary Changsang Soted in a statement said there are approximately 3,789 teachers, including both PT and GT, posted in the region.
He said the actual requirement is be more than 5000 teachers, adding there is just one teacher each in 11 government primary schools (GPS).
As per the norms, a GPS should have a minimum of 6-7 teachers.
Giving out this glimpse of the data, the Federation reiterated that they will make the full account known only after the School Education publishes the detailed list on the number of vacancies and post transfers in the region in their archives.
"Only after that we are going to compare with our data and see how it holds up," it said.
Adamantly continuing with their shutdown agitation in the four districts of Eastern Nagaland despite appeals from different quarters including the Eastern Nagaland Legislatures Union, the ENSF is gearing up for the 3rd phase of agitation from tomorrow.
The ENSF also informed that its volunteers have seized a number of government vehicles moving in the four districts despite the restrictions imposed. The vehicles will be released later, the student leader stated.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Nagaland Peoples Organisation (ENPO), in support of its apex student body ENSF on their five-point charter of demands on teachers' recruitment, has appealed the State Government to immediately implement the written assurances given by the Chief Secretary on August 14, 2011.
A press statement issued by ENPO General Secretary N T Thamlong Phom and Press Secretary Mosa Konyak maintained, this was not the first time that the state government has back-tracked on its own promises and assurances which, it said, 'clearly demonstrated the apathetic attitude and sheer lack of commitment towards the grievances of eastern Nagaland.' "Where justice and equality is genuine and legitimate demands cannot be considered on priority basis. The government makes lame excuses and tries to portray the demands as unreasonable and unrealistic," the ENPO questioned. (UNI -Posted on / )
