Imphal, August 03 2019: For Ching Tam High School situated at Yaingangpokpi under Lamlai AC (Imphal East), the teachers have come together to provide private coaching classes to the students by pooling their own resources.

The school has been facing a shortage of teachers for the last 6/7 years forcing the few present teachers to come together and make necessary arrangements to provide coaching classes to the students appearing HSLC examination from last year.

For the coaching, classes the teachers of the school are hiring teachers from outside using their own money.

Speaking to media persons, Ching Tam High School Headmaster RK Sanamacha said that during 2009-10, the school had around 21 teachers and by 2013, the number decrease to 16 .

After many were eventually transferred, the number now stands at 7 teachers, he lamented, adding that out of the said teachers, 4 are regular while 3 (including one Mathematics teacher) are utilised teachers.

Out of the 115 students studying in the school, 25 are going to appear HSLC examination, the Headmaster added.

He continued that the condition in the school is such that the lack of teachers has led to failure to cover the syllabus in time as well as many blank periods.

If the Government sends two science teachers, 3 Arts teachers and one teachers each for Hindi and Computer Sciences, the problem will be mitigated somewhat, he said adding that the school has no LDC nor chowkidar cum peon as well.

BOSEM has nominated the school as an examination centre for HSLC exam which often force the available teachers to rent benches and desks to meet the standards of an exam centre, the Headmaster said.

On the other hand, a youth activist from Yaingangpokpi called L Nilo expressed desire for the State Government to implement a proper transfer and posting and rationalisation process.

In 2013, the school Headmaster had written to the Education (S) Director regarding the lack of teacher and many memo were also submitted, but to no avail, he said, narrating that the students of the school had even staged sit in protests in the past condemning the lack of teachers in their school.
