Rousing welcome for NSF in Ukhrul
Morung Express | Ukhrul | June 24 :
A rousing reception was accorded to the touring 12-member NSF team by the Raphei Katamnao Long (Northern Tangkhul Students’ Union) at Awangkasom junction around 51km short of Ukhrul on Thursday night, a day ahead of the consultative meeting with Tangkhul frontal organisations and intellectuals. A short reception programme was held at the junction where the NSF team was felicitated by the waiting RKL office bearers.
Opening the deliberation on education reforms, Yhome said the NSF is pursuing the affiliation of schools in Naga inhabited areas of Manipur with NBSE. He said the Government of Nagaland has already agreed to affiliate any school from any state with the NBSE. The only stumbling block in getting the schools affiliated is that the Manipur Government is reluctant to issue No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the schools of Naga areas in Manipur. He said there was no reason why the Government of Manipur should refuse to issue the NOC. Yhome urged the ANSAM to pressurize the Government to issue the NOC without delay.
A lecturer, Vareiyo Shatsang asserted that the education system in Manipur was a “fraud” since it was infested with corruption. He alleged that employment in government schools was given to the highest bidder which was compounded with the teachers being substituted by unqualified persons. On the Naga political issue, he opined that there needed to be “civil uprising” which could be one way of achieving the aspirations of the Nagas. “I don’t believe in submitting memoranda and petitions, but there should be a civil uprising, we must shed blood to bring solution,” he said.
