Kohima, June 6 (MExN): The Advisor School Education & SCERT, Dr Kekhrie Yhome has expressed concern over the low enrollment in government schools despite the provision of free education with highly qualified teachers.
He was addressing a consultative meeting of Meluri Sub-Division held on June 3 at DBs Court ADC Complex, Meluri. It was attended by representative of district administration, education department, and civil society organisations.
At the meeting Dr Yhome also announced that every village would have its primary school, a DIPR report informed.
However, the establishment of middle schools and high schools would be based on enrollment, and teacher allocation would be adjusted accordingly under the rationalisation policy, he said.
