North welcomes teacher transfers


MANGAN, 28 May: Pipons of Lachen and Lachung, all Panchayats and School Management Committee (SMC) members have welcomed the government’s decision to transfer excess teachers to their district.
In the Lachen-Mangan constituency of North Sikkim, several schools are facing problems due to shortage of teachers and it was a long pending demand of the constituency’s public. Under the Right to Education (RTE), all students have a right to education and literacy. To achieve the target under the literacy mission programme this decision of the State government will be very fruitful for the whole State, expressed the public.
The North District has a shortage of 19 primary regular teachers. The Department has transferred 16 excess teachers from East Sikkim to the North district. The teachers and their associations are however protesting the transfers and have not reported to their new posts yet.
