In the midst of protest and demand by the students of Saiton Government High School, Kumbi AC to send the required teachers of the school, the sudden transfer of three teachers from the school has aggravated the situation resulting in class boycott and severe protest by the students .
The required teachers for the school had been asured by the then local MLA and ZEO in 2013, the students stated .
The Education Minister visited the school in April and assured to fill the vacancies for teachers and also to improve the infrastructure of the school .
The students asserted that aside from getting a few desks and benches, the over all condtion of the school has not improved a bit, however, the school continued to function with the least available teachers .
Speaking to our correspondent, one of the students stated that the school has eight teachers at present even though the exact number of terachers should be 14 and added that students of class IX who are about to face the most crucial examination are left with insufficient teachers .
The students warned to take up stringent agitations and to take their demand to the residence of Education Minister if their demands are not heard.
