Dimapur, July 17 (EMN): The Seyochung Area Students’ Union (Sasu) in Tuensang district has claimed to have “abolished” proxy teachers from every school in its area.
A press release from the union on Tuesday stated that the students had been paying the price for such irresponsibility by teachers for which the quality of education suffered.
The Sasu warned that it would conduct ‘surprise checking’ in all the schools in their area any given time.
It warned further that any teacher found absent from work ‘for more than one month without leave,’ or found employing ‘proxy teachers’ shall invite stern action from the union including termination of service. Detection of such cases will be reported immediately to the authorities, it stated.
Those unable to perform their duties as teachers should take voluntary retirement and let aspiring teachers teach in their place, the union stated. The union also demanded that the state government install a biometric facility to register attendance of teachers; and close-circuit cameras to check ‘irregularities.’
