Yimchungrü Akherü Arihako (YAA) on Thursday informed that as part of phase-I agitation it has resolved to shut down the government high school (GHS), Chessore, under district education officer (DEO) Tuensang starting from September 2, 2016 as the school education department has failed to deploy the math and science teachers at GHS Chessore.
In a press release, YAA acting president Mosa KVZ and Joint Secretary Z. Kumcho Yimchunger stated that decision was taken at an emergency meeting held on September 1, 2016 at Shamator H.Q.
YAA pointed out that it has earlier submitted representation dated May 6, 2016 to the school education director for immediate posting of science and math teachers at GHS Chessore. Subsequently, the government had forwarded the matter to the department through Ref. Vide No. DSE/ESTT/TSG/1-88/2016 dated June 13, 2016 to submit a proposal for posting of the said teachers to GHS Chessore before July, 2016.
However, YAA said even after a month the demanded subject teachers were not posted at the school.
Further, it stated that another reminder dated August 22 2016 addressed to the commissioner & secretary, school education, was submitted demanding posting of the teachers before September 2016.
However, the required teachers were not posted in the school till date.
With the expiry of deadline and with no positive response to its demand, the YAA said it endorsed Chessore Town Students Union and Chessore Village Students Union to shut down the school till further notice from its office. YAA cautioned that the department would be held solely responsible for any consequences. YAA said it would even go to the extent of boycotting Teachers’ Day Celebration at Chessore.
