Nagaland School Education minister, Neiwang Konyak has revealed that so far 2060 bogus school teachers had been identified by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) of Nagaland Vigilance Commission which was probing the case. Replying to the cut motion on the closing day of budget session of Nagaland Assembly recently, the minister, however, said that the exact number of bogus teachers would be known only after completion of the investigation.
He said that the erring officials would be punished. He also told the members that SIT and other officials involved in the probe would be provided adequate security whenever necessary. Earlier, the members drew attention of the government towards dismal picture of education in the state.
Congress MLA, C. Apok Jamir pointed out that although infrastructure was created at primary and middle level schools under SSA, the government failed to impart quality education and improving skills of the learners. He also pointed out that as far as teachers training were concerned, Nagaland occupied the bottom rung in the central agencies assessment.
Opposition leader Chingwang Konyak said the officials, including teachers, do not stay at their places of posting in rural areas and asked the government to check this problem.
MLA T. Sentichuba asked the government for stringent measures against the bogus teachers and proxy teachers in the State.
