Dimapur, October 24 (MExN): The Tesophenyu Group Students' Union (TGSU) has supported the boycott of classes by Nagaland SSA Teachers’ Association as resentment against nonpayment of salary for six months. Out of six schools within its jurisdiction, five schools have been “grievously affected and paralyzed” with the teachers abstaining from duty, TGSU stated in a press note.
“The aggrieved teachers are on the verge of starvation which is an insult to the noble profession of nation building and shame for the authorities concerned who often boast and preach quality education without practicing it in reality.”
In view of the pertinent factors afflicting the welfare of underprivileged students, the union also appealed to the government to pay salaries of dedicated teachers (SSA, RMSA, and CSS) regularly, clear their pending salaries and fulfill the charter of demands of NSSATA for the interest of students' community.
