The problem of shortage of teachers in the school is being managed by the village authority by employing village youth on payment of meagre monthly honorarium to ensure continuity of education, they said and lamented that amid the school in serious need for adequate numbers of government teachers, the assistant headmistress was promoted and transferred to some other school without any replacement.

Expressing concern for future of the students, the village chairman urged the education department for posting the required teachers and other facilities to help the school bring better results in future.

Thonglang Akutpa villagers also sought the attention of department concerned for providing Mathematics and Science teachers.
