Phek, February 29 (MExN): Phek Town Chakhesang Students' Union (PTCSU) today highlighted that the government schools in Phek Town are unable to conduct classes or run normal classes as they are yet to receive the free textbooks distributed by EBRC for class A-8.
“As such, the careers of the students are at stake, unlike other private institutions which are running classes in full swing,” stated a press release from PTCSU President, Thuputo Venuh and Editor, Se-o Hoshi.
The release said that various authorities under the department concerned expressed helplessness when the PTCSU apprised them of the issue. The schools further informed that old stocks of textbook were distributed, but were insufficient for every student without the arrival of new stock of textbooks, the union said.
Considering the welfare of the students and to promote quality education as envisaged by the government, PTCSU said it is perplexed by the present delay of textbook distribution in government schools, where schools are left with no other option but to wait for the arrival/ release of new stock.
Hence, the students’ union has requested the Education Department to look into the matter with utmost urgency, so that government schools can start their normal classes at the earliest time possible.
