Taking serious note of the shortage of teachers at Government High School (GHS) Zuheshe, Niuland Area Citizens Forum (NACF) has appealed to the Department of School Education (DoSE) to deploy teachers at the earliest.
In a press release, NACF president Kakishe Shikh and press secretary Saul Sema stated that the school has been running with insufficient teaching staff.
NACF stated that till date, there has been no math teacher and the limited subject teachers have been appointed/deputed by DoSE since the upgradation of school to GHS in 2011.
While appreciating initiatives being undertaken by the department to streamline teachers’ deployment for better performance, NACF stated that the “ground reality” was different, since there was shortage of important subject teachers.
NACF also stated that the school infrastructure was dilapidated which it said, contravened the principles and objectives of RTE Act 2009. NACF disclosed that recently, DC Niuland Sara S Jamir and SDEO Bohovi Yeptho had to intervene by teaching the students which it stated, was at the expense of their responsibilities.
Expressing concern and commitment towards the welfare of the people, NACF has asked the responsible department to intervene and do the needful since class X students would sit for their final exams by first quarter of 2023.
