Thungdi Oungh Chang: We want Education Department to clarify regarding the 30 Government High Schools 0% results. 1) Who is responsible for the shameful and disastrous results? 2) Did the Government appoint teaching staffs as required in the respective High schools? 3) If appointed, are the teaching staff attending the school regularly? 4) Is it counter reactions by the teaching staff for not paying their salaries? 5) If teaching staffs are appointed, attending the school regularly and salaries are paid, are the students themselves responsible for their failures? Let us all pressurize the state government to set up #independent_enquiry_commission to find out the truth. Note: If any students happen to be from the 0% results Government High Schools, I want them to speak up so that the public are enlightened of the facts.
Renponi K Naga: Teachers keeping proxy are to be blamed but the government's inefficiency to pay salaries, build good infrastructures, lack of text books, inadequate teaching staffs, owing to RTE etc are collective reasons. Unless we do that we can never progress and in the end it is Nagaland and the Nagas that are being drained. The performances of the students are known by the teachers from the very first lesson that teachers teach. It is sheer negligence and insincerity of the teachers in failing to diagnose the problem in an important stage as Class 10. Meanwhile, with No Detention Policy many students were just promoted for the sake of promotion in their middle school time and when the foundation is weak...it can never have good result. Some students are very dull and attendance, home study, study materials are less. This creates zero interest and great discouraging factor for them. Meanwhile, Government always gives out textbooks only in March, April every time and that also never reaching all the enrollments in class. Teachers without salaries for months and months can never teach with 100% dedication and interest. Village councils and student bodies should also see that Proxy teachers are kicked out and those teachers who keep proxy should be punished as per service rule. Social media has taken away study hours of children. Nagamese used in Government schools handicap the Government schools’ children from reading and writing. Comprehension skills is zero and they find it suicide task to understand the lessons and memorize, forget about understanding the lessons.
Pithongo Shitio Pits: Comparing to other Northeast states in India, Nagaland has the worst pass percentage and the worst facilities, Infrastructure, management plus the lack of teachers posted in Government Schools. It is the responsibility of the Department of Education as well the as the concerned state government for the full failure of proper establishment of Government Schools. The Village Councils & Village Education Committee are also equally to be blamed for not completely discharging the duties that needs to be maintained lacking failure in funding through various ways and means received through the state government. The concerned locality of Students' Union can play a major role in tackling this issue without any backdoor policy behind for the upliftment and welfare of the Students'. The bitter truth about the Government Schools in Nagaland.
Thaam Chuba Thai: Most of the students in rural areas come from economically weak families, so it would be a blessing if some sincere kindhearted educated people stationed in those areas could give these students free tuitions especially in maths and science subjects. Some students are plain lazy and disobedient to the teachers, in these cases student union leaders could help out by checking and giving stern warnings to them because some students especially in rural areas, are older than their teachers. Parents should also help by ensuring their grown up children are regular in attending classes. Everything is interconnected and all of us have to share responsibility for this.
