Imphal, August 17 2017:
Education Minister Thokchom Radhesyhyam Singh today made a surprise visit at Upper Primary School, Kha Potshangbam in Bishnupur district while returning from Churachandpur after attending a function .
The school has 32 students from Class I to V with a single teacher .
The Minister was in dismay to see the school at a very dilapidated condition one could imagine.
Out of the seven classrooms available in the school, only one classroom was found in a good condition .
The single room was built under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and has been serving as a classroom for the 32 students .
The teacher informed the Minister that the students include differently abled children and the classes available are only up to the fourth standard .
The school has no headmaster and the lone teacher has been carrying out the class combining all the students in the single room .
The Education Minister instructed the Assistant Inspector to notify all the Zonal Education Officials and members of the School Management Committee to attend the proposed meeting .
He asked the Assistant Inspector to prepare a report regarding the infrastructure condition and requirements of the school.
