Dimapur, Jan. 14: Youngshong Students’ Union (YSU), the apex students body under 49 Tamlu Assembly Constituency, has appealed to the Education minister and the School Education Department to setting up SDEO’s office in Tamlu town.
The union president M Baushen and the general secretary Chingken said Tamlu town is the only ADC Headquarter under Longleng district covering more than 25 villages and 3 towns. Under the Education department, Tamlu areas has 3 blocks namely Tamlu ADC Block, Yongnyah EAC Block and Bura Namsang EAC Block with more than 45 government and private schools enrolling around 3800 (approx) students but without SDEO’s office.
YSU has appealed to the minister of school education to translate words into action which he had promised during his visit as the chief guest on August 15, 2014, at Tamlu ADC Headquarters. It reminded that the minister had assured to establish SDEO’s office immediately and also construct a new Government High School at Tamlu town which was in a pathetic condition and beyond repair.
The union also appealed to the Director of School Education to look into the genuine demand of the Tamlu Area Teachers’ Association (TATA), a constituent unit of ANSTA, Longleng, for the early establishment of SDEO’s office at Tamlu ADC Headquarters. It said the genuine demands of the Teachers’ Association should be taken into consideration immediately on priority as both the teachers and students are facing immense hardship physically and economically. It said teachers have to travel 74 Kms every now and then from Tamlu to the only SDEO Office at Longleng district headquarters for any paper work or other official correspondence which otherwise could have been done without much difficulties with SDEO’s office at Tamlu.
In the light of the above stated circumstances, the union appealed to both the education minister and director of School Education to look into the needs and aspiration of teachers and students under Tamlu area on priority.
