DIMAPUR, MARCH 1 (MExN): The Naga Student’s Federation (NSF) has expressed concern at the recently declared results for the School Education Departmental Examination for selection of Graduate Teachers (Science and Mathematics).
In a letter to the Nagaland State Chief Secretary, the NSF President, Kesosul Christopher Ltu and General Secretary, Imtiyapang Imsong informed that the federation had through a representation dated September 22, 2017 and a reminder letter, dated November 7, 2017 appealed for “selection of indigenous inhabitant applicants of the State on priority, considering the huge number of educated unemployed youths.”
It said that the Minister of School Education had “replied for consideration of only eligible applicants of the indigenous inhabitants of the State” through a letter.
The NSF however observed that “as per the results declared for Graduate Teachers (Mathematics) on the 22-2-2018 published in the local media, it appeared that candidates selected were against the aspiration and voice of the student community.”
Therefore, reiterating its earlier representation, the NSF demanded that the “declaration of selection of non-indigenous inhabitant applicants of the State should be nullified and the subsequent waiting list merit indigenous inhabitant applicants be considered for selection to the vacant posts.”
It meanwhile cautioned that the NSF “will resort to any form of actions as deemed fit, if the government fails to fulfill the genuine demand of the student community.”
