Imphal, November 12 2013:
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has urged the Chief Minister and the Education Minister of the State to put into action regarding bifurcation of Directorate of Education (S) into Directorate of Elementary Education and Directorate of Secondary Education to streamline and strengthen the structural and systematic reform of the State education system.
In a statement, DESAM recalled that the State Cabinet in its meeting held on June 25, 2008 had decided to bifurcate the Directorate and subsequently an order was issued by the then Commissioner of Education (S), Shambhu Singh on September 11, 2008 in this regard.
Stating that the DESAM had already submitted a charter of demands to the State Government in the same year regarding the matter, the students' union informed that it will convene a meeting of teachers' association to discuss the matter soon and further appealed to all the concerned teachers to extend co-operation to the cause being taken up by it.
