Jiribam (Imphal East), November 09 2015:
Students of Jiribam Government Higher Secondary School and Borobekra Government Higher Secondary School staged a sit-in-protest today demanding appointment of adequate number of teachers in both the schools, our correspondent reports.
The student's protest co-incides with the onset of Jiribam contract lecturers' cease work strike.
Normal classes have largely been impacted by the lack of adequate number of teachers in both the schools, Jiribam Government Higher Secondary School Student's Union general secretary Yaiphaba told the media on the sidelines of the protest.
Moreover, the commencement of cease work strike by Jiribam contract lecturers have added to the woes of the students.
There are over 1000 students registered in the only two higher secondary schools of the sub-division.
The protesting students urged the State Government to address their grievances at the earliest.
