SUSA blames HRDD and Govt for ad-hoc teachers’ fiasco

GANGTOK, 28 Oct: Sikkim United Students’ Association [SUSA] has alleged that the government and the HRDD are fully responsible for the disruption of studies in schools due to the ongoing pen-down strike by ad-hoc teachers.
Addressing a press conference today, SUSA president, Meghraj Chettri stated that the pen-down strike has been affecting studies at government schools and the government and the concerned department are responsible for this.
“The government and department should take this matter seriously. If the future of teachers is not secure then how will the future of students be secure?” he questioned. In this regard, he accused the state government of not taking education in the state seriously and added that the recently held SPSC examination is proof of the carelessness of the state government.
Publicity secretary, Pankaj Giri alleged that the government has completely failed to solve the unemployment problem in the state. “The state has around 2,300 ad-hoc teachers which show the need for teachers in schools. So, why hasn’t the department appointed permanent teachers to fill up these vacancies?” he questioned.
He also stated that the SUSA is also against the Teacher Eligibility Test as the government should first constitute an Education Board before conducting the TET.
