DIMAPUR, APRIL 16 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation has reminded all its federating units to thoroughly check and verify private schools, particularly the lower sections in their respective districts. A press note from the NSF stated that these checks are required to verify whether the schools are running with necessary permission from the school education department. It further directed the units to submit their report within this month, as resolved in the 3rd Federal Assembly.
The NSF, during its 3rd Federal Assembly held at Chandel, had resolved to vigorously check and verify private schools, particularly the primary and upper-primary level schools in all the district headquarters, sub-division, towns and villages. This was initiated after the discovery that Blooming Bud Montessori School, Dimapur had upgraded the school till class X without permission from the concerned authority, thereby affecting many students.
The NSF stated that several primary and upper-primary level schools, particularly in remote areas, are running without proper permission from the school education department. It stated that this situation will ultimately result in students facing problem, once they reach the board level. “No doubt it is the duty and responsibility of the school education department,” it added.
However, NSF said that it felt that the federation was obligated to carry out this exercise so as to safeguard the educational careers of the students, as well as to avoid recurrence of Blooming Bud Montessori school incident in Dimapur.
While reminding all federating units to discharge their assigned duties with sincerity and commitment, the NSF further appealed to all the school authorities, village councils and VECs to cooperate and extend support to the student leaders in their respective areas.
