Tzurangkong Students’ Union (TKM) has served a 15-day ultimatum on the department of school education (DoSE) to deploy adequate teachers in government schools within Tzurangkong range under Mokokchung district.
The ultimatum, which was served on October 10, 2022, stated that on September 17, 2022, the TKM held a joint meeting with Tzurangkong Senso Mungdang, Tzurangkong Watsu Mungdang, SMCs and SMDCs, and parent bodies. At the meeting, it was unanimously agreed that they would resort to “appropriate steps” until an adequate number of teachers were deployed in all schools that were experiencing teacher shortages.
TMK claimed that despite various appeals and protests, the department had turned a deaf ear to their demand.
The student body has, therefore, demanded that adequate teachers be deployed in schools within the Tzurangkong range by October 25, failing which ‘appropriate steps shall be initiated.’
