Minister for School Education & SCERT, Yitachu today said 2016 is very crucial for the Naga people, postulating that important political developments may take place this year. “To let solution come, we should analyze and examine the Naga issue, on the Nagas as whole perspective, not in line with factionalism, tribalism and favoritism, but it should be viewed Naga as a whole whether any solution that comes about is workable, practicable and acceptable to the Nagas,” he said while speaking at Phoyisha cultural festival at Hutsii under Meluri sub division of Phek district.
“If we can view the issue on that line, solution can take place, but as long as we continue to look from the angle of our own favoritism, affiliation, tribalism and factionalism then solution will remain elusive,” he said.
Touching on education, he said there is huge increase in literacy in the state. He however said that problems in the education sector are compounded mainly because “we don’t practice the truth, speak the truth and function the truth.”
He urged for better coordination between the village authority and the teachers and staff in order to provide quality education to the children. The Minister asked teachers, village leaders and leaders to work for the interest of the poor and weaker sections of the society. Unless the weaker sections are taken care of, society cannot progress, he said. “Extra service should be provided so that God blesses our children in return,” the Minister added.
