Dimapur, August 20 (EMN): The Parents’ Association of Sainik School in Punglwa, under Peren district, has written to the chairman of the local board administration of the school highlighting issues arising from lack of teachers for mathematics. The association issued a copy of a representation, addressed to the school, on Sunday requesting redress.
‘There was an unpleasant situation created by the cadets of class XII in the month of July 2017. And accordingly, the matter was reported to the association by the school authority. The issue was that there has been no teacher for the mathematics subject since the beginning of the academic year 2017-18,’ the parents stated.
“It was further agitated by the cadets of class-XIl with the reason that they have lost almost 70 classes of Maths subject by June, 2017.” The parents’ association said to have conducted an emergency meeting with the cadets of class-XII followed by a meeting with the school’s authority. “In the meeting with the authority, the association had requested for immediate action for appointing the Maths teacher,” the press release stated.
“However, due to non compliance by the authority in spite of the cadets and parents’ request, the cadets of class-XIl walked out of the school on 8th July 2017as a mark of resentment for ignoring the demands and grievances of the cadets,” the press release stated.
The parents and cadets of class-XII had an emergency meeting at Dimapur on July 10. Accordingly, the press release stated, the parents and the cadets met with the authority on the same day.
“The authority gave assurances and commitment to appoint the maths teachers immediately and also as a remedial measure, the old maths teacher was recalled to assist the school. However, after a short stay the same teacher left the school for reasons best known to the authority,” the update informed. ‘Now therefore, the cadets of class-XI and XII are left at the mercy without proper maths teacher till date.’ The parents’ association has urged the authority to ‘immediately act before further damage is done.’
“It is also to remind you that the career of the students should not be left at stake with no fault of theirs,” the association added.
