DIMAPUR, MAY 26 (MExN): The Aboi Area Students’ Union (AASU) today drew attention to the accommodation problem being faced by students at the Government Higher Secondary School, Aboi after they pass their 10th standard.
“Along with those who pass from the government high school in Aboi as well as surrounding areas, we have a member of students coming from private schools vying for admission to class 11,” the AASU stated in a press note.
It pointed out that Aboi having the only higher secondary school in the vicinity, the question of accommodating hundreds of students comes into play. “The statistics this year can speak for itself- so far the figure stands at 190 (one hundred ninety) admitted in class 11. However, there are a considerable number of students who are still seeking admission,” it added.
The AASU informed that the problem being faced by the school authorities is the lack of space to accommodate these students. The current building that houses the higher secondary section is actually the high school building which was constructed a few years back, while the high school was shifted to the boy’s hostel a few hundred meters away. The current building houses five class rooms, two staff rooms and a store room. The class rooms can hardly accommodate above fifty students maximum at the time but currently sits seventy students in a class. Moreover, the AASU said that the class rooms in use face a lot of leakage during rainy season. There is also a huge shortage of benches and desks. It asked the concerned authority to look into the grievances of the school and do the needful necessary improvements at the earliest.
The AASU meanwhile lauded the teachers and staff of the school for their service ever since the high school was upgraded. It may be noted that despite hardship, they have been providing the best possible service which has produced exceptional and commendable result in the last few years.
Even this year the school produced 85% pass percentage with 6 students in 1st Div, 17 Students in 2nd Div and 6 in 3rd Div. Two students even passed with distinction in Education and Pol. Science subjects.
