Wokha, May 23 (EMN): Expressing concern over regular agitations and boycotting classes in the Nagaland, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) president, Christopher Kesosul Ltu told the teachers that their decision should not hamper the future prospect of the students.
Observing total shut down of most of the primary schools in Wokha district in view of the ongoing SSA teachers’ agitation, Ltu pointed out that all the govt. teachers are not SSA appointees. Therefore, he said those unaffected teachers should be in station and carry out the normal school routine.
The NSF officials paid a visit to govt. schools and college in Wokha district as a part of its 1st phase education tour on May 23.
The team accompanied by the Lotha Students’ Union had an interaction with students and teachers of Govt. High School Wokha Village, Govt. Middle School Wokha - A, Govt. Higher Secondary School, and Mt. College.
During an interaction, it was learned from the students and teachers that the government schemes and funds meant for students are not met as projected. It was also informed that students are yet to receive uniforms and text books for the year 2018.
Ltu while interacting with the teachers advised them to be dedicated in their duty and play a major role in nurturing the students.
“Education is not confined with textbook learning but it is the teachers who motivates and makes the system of learning easier and healthy,” he told the teachers.
Pointing out the syllabus difference between the Nagaland Board of School Education and the SCERT, the teacher expressed concern over regular changes in syllabus and textbooks, which they said is adversely affecting the smooth education system.
The GHSS and Mt. College shared their grievances to the NSF team. The authorities lamented over the class being affected due to teachers’ engagement in election duties.
They also put forward the need of local and regional authors to be included in textbooks and novels on history of the Nagas.
The Mt. College principal and teachers also apprised the team about the need of setting up a Human Resource Development centre for teachers and lectures to improve teaching skill.
