IMPHAL, Jul 25: The Socialist Students’ Union Manipur (SSUM) has urged
the authority concerned to introduce biometric attendance registration
system for Government school teachers.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, SSUM publicity secretary Naorem Tanoranjan said that the student community of the State would be compelled to launch to different kinds of agitation if the Government fails to introduce biometric attendance registration for Government school teachers by August 10.
To identify the main factors responsible for the degeneration of Government schools in the State, SSUM carried out an inspection drive.
Most of the Government schools were found lacking in different aspects such as shortage of teachers, absence of well-equipped library, shortage of computer sets, absence of science laboratories etc.
Moreover, many Principals/Headmasters were not supervising their subordinate teachers properly while a larger number of teachers were found quite derelict and irregular, Tanoranjan said.
In terms of physical infrastructure, most Government schools lack proper toilet facilities and they do not have compound fences.
In the HSLC Exam 2016 conducted by the Board of Secondary Education Manipur, out of 323 Government schools, 110 schools drew blank.
There is also a need to rationalize the number of teachers between schools which have students and schools which have very few or no students, Tanoranjan said.
The Government should also enact a legislation which would make it mandatory for all Government school teachers to send their children to Government schools which is not the case at the moment, he added.
