Imphal, January 04 2013 :
Council of Teachers' Association (COTA) has appealed to the state government to issue textbooks to all government school in the state before the commencement of the academic session in February 2013 .
In a statement by it General Secretary S Gunamani, COTA pointed out that every year the state government failed to provide textbooks which are to be given free of cost under SSA Scheme before commencement of the academic sessions.
As a result, school authorities are facing problem in starting the academic session on time.
Moreover, the free textbooks provided under SSA scheme for class I-VIII are not listed among the textbooks prescribed by Board and it caused another problem and confusion among the students.
Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to impart quality education to students, Gunamani asserted.
