Tengnoupal, July 28 2019: Autonomous District Council (ADC) Chandel Member -2 Machi DCC Kh Morung on Saturday appealed the Education Department and Government to send adequate teachers and renovate the Machi Govt High School under Machi sub-division, Tengnoupal district at the earliest in the interest of the students and locals.

Speaking on the sideline of a medical camp sponsored by ADC Chandel and organised by Rural Women and Child Development Organization at Machi High School, Morung said that the school has only 8 teachers for Classes I to X .

The school has no Science graduate teachers according to school authority, he said and added the school currently has only one Arts Graduate Teacher, 6 Primary Teachers, one LDC, 2 Grade IV .

The school has 131 students from Machi and adjoining villages.

As the villagers are poor and mainly cultivators by profession, they can't afford to send their wards to other places for studies, he said.

The school building also need renovation, he said.

"It is sad to learn that the school authority had appealed the related authorities without any results till today," he said urging Education Department, ZEO concerned and Government to look into the school and many other schools in far flung areas to bring about quality education.

It may be mentioned that many schools in far flung areas like Jiribam and other districts have frequently urged the Government and Education Department to send adequate teachers and improve their school infrastructures.

Many organisations including student bodies have been conducting inspections at Govt schools and had put forward serious concerns regarding functioning of the schools.
