The ambitious programme of the Education Department "School Fagathansi mission" has become another thing of concern in remote villages of Ukhrul district, claimed Chairman of Jessami Village Council (JVC) Anizote Mekrisuh.
Speaking to this correspondent, Mekrisuh claimed that three lecturers were transferred from Jessami Hr Sec School in the name of School Fagathansi mission without any replacement.
The chairman further claimed that Jessami High School was upgraded to Higher Secondary in 2012 with 20 lecturers, however, 5 were transferred shortly.
Later in 2019, the State Government transferred three more lecturers including one Sociology lecturer in the name of School Fagathansi mission, he claimed.
Questioning the authenticity of the mission, Mekrisuh asked why the teachers are allegedly given the liberty to choose their place posting.
He then suggested that the programme has to be corrected to ensure adequate teaching staff are available at every school.
It might be mentioned that three schools from Ukhrul were selected in the School Fagathansi mission, namely Ukhrul Hr Sec.
School, Somdal Hr Sec.
School and Frontier Hr Sec School.
