United Sangtam Students Conference (USSC) has appealed to the responsible department to direct teachers who are posted in Kiphire to join their respective places of posting and start the classes within 10 days as per government notification dated July 21, 2022.
In a press release, USSC vice president Sethrongba Y Sangtam said the classes for science stream were yet to start and the academic year 2022-23 was coming to an end.
USSC said “as per the source”, out of five science teachers have been deployed at Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Kiphire and that two teachers were yet to join their places of posting.
The conference also found that GHSS Kiphire was functioning with shortage of two English (PGT) and one Sociology (PGT) since the upgradation of higher secondary school “despite repeated representation and ultimatums” made by USSC and school authority.
In this regard, USSC asked the responsible authority to expedite the genuine demand as top priority for the welfare of the student community.
Further, it expressed gratitude to the department of School Education (DoSE) and state government for introducing science stream at GHSS Kiphire which, it said was a long-awaited dream for people of Kiphire district.
Earlier, USSC also visited GHSS Kiphire and saw that the school was functioning with shortage of school benches and desks due to limited resources.
In this regard, USSC donated school benches and desks for classes XI and XII.
