Dimapur, July 1 (MExN): The Rising People’s Party (RPP) has sought clarification from the Kiphire District Education Officer, the School Management and Developments Committee (SMDC) Solumi and the Department of School Education with regard to the poor condition of Government High School (GHS) Solumi.
In a press release on Friday, the RPP responded to a rejoinder that was issued by Kiphire DEO on June 24 and claimed that the “the DPR for the construction of the GHS Solumi the official notification was issued in 2013 and the school completed in November 2019 only, as stated by the DEO Kiphire, after a gap of several years. This is the clue as to why the photo of the old school was furnished since according to RMSA guidelines the school should have been completed within 12 months.”
“The party felt that the one-time rejoinder of the DEO Kiphire, SMDC Solumi, and the Solumi Village Council was enough since these authorities had presented the factual position but for some inexplicable reasons the issue keeps re-surfacing with subtle hints of political hand behind the press releases,” the RPP stated.
It further went on to stated that the output of the school in terms of HSLC results in the past 10 years have remained ‘horrible,’ it said, citing data from the NBSE website. It asked the DEO to explain ‘the consistently poor result of GHS Solumi till date’ now that the infrastructure of GHS Solumi is on par and “running smoothly” since 2019 as stated by the DEO Kiphire.
Meanwhile the DEO should also clarify as to whether the DPR for construction of Government High School (GHS) Solumi was strictly followed, with facilities such as headmaster’s room, staff room, Library, computer room, science laboratory, art/craft/culture room, proper water supply, Dyna roofing, steel roof trussing, furniture, firefighting equipment, green board, laboratory equipments, etc., and implemented.
For the benefit of the Naga public, the DEO Kiphire, SMDC Solumi, and the DoSE may give their befitting reply without delay, it added.
