The Senior Principal of Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Wokha, Y Vungthungo Lotha was selected to represent Nagaland at the National School Leadership Conference held in New Delhi from January 8 to 10.
The conference, organised by the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIPA) under the initiative of the National Centre for School Leadership (NCSL), focused on the theme “Successful School Leadership 2025: Exemplars of Change and Innovation.”
The three-day conference brought together educators, scholars, and leaders from across the country to share insights and discuss innovative approaches to school leadership.
Y Vungthungo Lotha was one of the 57 selected participants who presented a case study showcasing the impact of innovative leadership practices in schools. His case study focused on a unique initiative at his school aimed at fostering motivation and discipline among both students and teachers.
It may be mentioned that he introduced a monthly “Student of the Month” award to recognise the most regular and attentive student, and an annual award ceremony for teachers to acknowledge outstanding performance.
These initiatives have led to increased student attendance and improved teacher discipline, creating a more competitive and motivated school environment. The awards are presented during the school’s morning assembly and in an annual ceremony that invites local dignitaries, intellectuals, and community leaders to celebrate the achievements of both students and teachers.
Talking to a section of media in Wokha he said, “These initiatives have had a tremendous impact. The regularity of students has greatly improved, and teachers have become more disciplined and competitive, which has positively affected both their participation in academic activities and their commitment to vocational education.”
He emphasised the importance of NIPA, which serves as a key think tank for educational policy in India, advising both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance on important decisions regarding the future of the country’s education system.
“Participating in this conference has been dream come true for me,” he said. “The experience has enriched my understanding of school leadership and has motivated me to continue improving the education system in Wokha.”
He stating that the knowledge and inspiration gained from the conference will be instrumental in shaping his future initiatives and contributing to the ongoing development of education in Nagaland.
Lotha expressed gratitude for being chosen to speak at the national platform, acknowledging the support of the Government of Nagaland in making his participation possible. He thanked Dr Kekhrie, Advisor for School Education, for his leadership and also Kevileno Angami, Commissioner and Secretary of School Education and Temsunaro Aier, State Mission Director for Samagra Shiksh, for their efforts in transforming the education system in the state.
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to represent Nagaland. Without the support of the government, I would not have been able to attend such a prestigious event,” Lotha acknowledged.
