All Manipur Muslim Girl Students Union (AMMGSU) and All Manipur Muslim Women Development Organisation (AMMWDO) has conveyed that Jiribam district is far backward in almost all the fields, especially the educational atmosphere, as compared to other districts.
Conveying the above statement at Manipur Press Club today evening, AMMGSU president Rukhsan Choudhury informed that members of both the organisation conducted a thorough inspection at all the schools located in Jiribam from March 7 till 15.She remarked that no sufficient teachers were available at the schools apart from the absence of non teaching staff adding that almost all the schools have lack of proper infrastructure including desks and benches, toilets, fencing etc while some schools were found with no structures at all.
Despite immense shortage of infrastructure and staff/teachers, the people in Jiribam district are still rooting for Government schools, she maintained.
Citing the names of the teachers, schools and the number of students enrolled, Rukhsan stated that the students continue to go to the school as they belong to the deprived section of the society.
Appealing the State Government and the authorities concerned to look into the insufficiencies of the schools in the district at the earliest, she warned to launch stringent forms of agitation with the people of Jiribam if the matter is neglected.
