DESSAM rues shortage of teachers

IMPHAL, Jan 29: In a press release Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESSAM) lamented that in the face of recruitment of a large number of teachers under SSA, RMSA and Directorate of Education (S), the government of Manipur is facing the same problem which the govt faced 8/9 years back regarding the shortage of teachers. Urging the Ministerial team of the state government to take note of the matter seriously, DESSAM appealed to the government to take up special measures to provide teachers to the institutes where there are no teachers or enough teachers before a new academic session starts failing which, DESSAM cautioned that it would take up legal actions as per the Right to Education Act, 2009 in the interest of the students. Drawing the attention of the government of Manipur and the Education Minister, DESSAM further appealed to deal with the post rationalization of the schools under the government of Manipur.
