Ghathashi GHS plagued by shortage of teachers

Zunheboto, July 19 (MExN): Some teachers in Ghathashi Government High School (GGHS) have expressed their dissatisfaction on shortage of teachers in the school and reportedly maintained that some posts still remain vacant even after promotion or retirement of concerned teachers for years. 

This was revealed during high school visitations and meeting with the High School Management board and teachers visited GGHS by MLA Y Vikheho Swu of 13 AC Pughoboto on July 19, informed a press release received here. 

“They alleged that 7 years after the promotion of 1 science teacher, 4 years after the retirement of 1 language teacher and 5 years after the retirement of 2 graduate teachers the post of these teachers are still vacant,” the release stated. 

“They appealed the MLA to look into the matter as early as possible.” 

Pughoboto Sub Division has 8 Government High schools and GGHS was the first school Vikheho visited, the release said. 

During the visit, he also urged the High School Management board to identify the needs of the schools, students and teachers, and bring issues to the appropriate authority.

The MLA also requested the teachers to instill respect, responsibility, accountability, commitment, punctuality and honesty upon the student, apart from lesson from books and prescribed syllabus, it added. 

The release further stated that since GGHS is lacking a Math teacher, the MLA has engaged a private teacher by personally paying the salary, until the Government appoints a Math teacher for the school.

During the meeting EAC Ghathashi, Nuhuta Tungi who chaired the programme also said that education is the most important aspect in the society and asked the management board and teachers to give more commitment, dedication and discuss with whatever resources available to improve the High School's in Pughoboto sub division, it added.
