•-Much thanks to Nagaland state government and Department of School Education for finally deciding to reinstate the suspected BOGUS teachers, and then suddenly deciding to keep in abeyance the re-appointment of the same due to strong opposition from student bodies of various tribes. But unfortunately, anomaly and manipulation, these two words which is ever present words in the state mechanism have been detected even in the recent list of reinstated teachers published by the Department of School Education.
It is found that names of teachers which were never published in the earlier lists of suspected bogus and doubtful teachers published by the department are included in the list of re-appointed teachers that has been recently published by the department. It is apparent that new appointments are being made in the name of re-appointing suspect bogus and doubtful teachers.
SIT of education department had earlier published a name list of eighty odd suspected bogus teachers who were disqualified following the interview conducted by SIT. Some were found academically not qualified to be teachers or had entered service with fake documents. Many names from the list of those disqualified teachers are also seen in the latest list of the department.
Is the department and its officials are taking advantage of the situation to serve their personal interest?
The concerned department is requested to rectify and clarify on this matter.
