- CHANGTONGYA — The Ao Students' Conference (AKM)
highlighted shortages of teachers and inadequate educational facilities in
government schools across the Langpangkong range following their fourth phase
of inspections conducted under the Sub-Divisional Education Officer (SDEO),
Changtongya.
- The inspections, conducted from May 19 to the 23rd, covered
21 schools and revealed systemic issues threatening the quality of education in
rural areas.
- In a press release issued on Wednesday, appended by AKM president
Lanutoshi Aier and education secretary Lanulemba Longchar, grave concern was
expressed over the findings.
- “All inspected schools are critically short of teachers,
with some facing transfers without replacements and others lacking sufficient
classrooms, resulting in ineffective teaching and learning,” the statement
noted.
- The lack of staff has led to frequent class cancellations,
particularly when teachers attend training, forcing some students to abandon
their education, AKM claimed.
