Dimapur, July 26 (MExN): Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) issues another charter of demands, this time to the School Education department, claiming what the organization said are ‘assurances’ and notification from the government setting aside teachers posts, including “a maximum number of teachers” for the eastern districts. The ENSF issued a copy of a letter addressed to the director of School Education today.
The representation outlines five demands. According to the organization, “the concerned minister” and departmental officers assured “a maximum number of teachers’ posts” under the SSA during a meeting on February 18, 2011 in Kohima. The assured “maximum number of teacher posts” both ‘GTs and PTs’ was to be given to “eastern Nagaland” to “maintain equilibrium of the shortage of teachers” in the existing and newly created schools under SSA, the ENSF stated.
The ENSF also demanded strict implementation of a government notification dated January 9, 2009 that “all the vacancies arising within the eastern Nagaland jurisdiction shall be filled by the six inhabitant tribes of the same. No post shall be transferred out of the districts along with the incumbent.”
Further, the organization said that in the past few years, around 1,500-1,600 of both ‘PTs’ and ‘GTs’ were transferred out along with posts from the four districts of the region to other districts. This led to acute shortage of teachers, the ENSF stated. “Therefore this shortage of teachers in the four districts of eastern Nagaland must be filled-up from the newly-created posts under SSA,” the ENSF stated.
The forth point the ENSF stated was what it designated as “non-members of the eastern Naga tribes” teachers retained and regularized against the “vacancies of eastern Nagas and posted in the four districts of eastern Nagaland.” The move must be revoked, the organization stated.
All the newly created posts, vacancies under the SSA must be “authentically advertised for fresh recruitment,” the ENSF stated its fifth demand.
The organization has demanded that the department fulfill and implement the stated points within 15-days from receiving this letter.
