JHS Heads thank HRDD for teacher transfers

GANGTOK, 24 May: The Sikkim Junior High School Headmasters Association, especially its members from South and West districts, have welcomed the HRD Department’s decision to transfer excess teachers from East Sikkim to understaffed schools in the remaining three districts. 146 surplus primary regular teachers from schools around East Sikkim have been transferred to West, South and North Sikkim, it may be recalled.
“We, the Heads of Junior High Schools of South and West Sikkim, appreciate the HRD Department and Ministry for their decision to transfer excess teachers to our districts. This decision will truly help to impart the so called ‘quality education’ to our poor children,” the release states.
The release goes on to thank the Government “for being kind enough to consider the need of our children”.
“Now, we believe that we can really achieve the educational goals as our Government itself is so serious about the education of our children,” the release concludes.
