ITANAGAR, Jun 20: In its continuous effort to find remedial measures to improve the deteriorating education system in Galo inhabited districts, the Galo Students' Union (GSU) on Friday reached newly created Leparada District and held a Joint Consultative Co-ordination Meeting with all the BEOs, Principals and Headmasters at Panchayat Hall, Basar.

During the meeting, GSU president Mepe Ete, while expressing serious concern over the poor performance of students in recently declared CBSE results, fervently urged upon the Principals and Headmasters to identify the causes of poor results. He said that the Union would submit its report to the state government for corrective measures and other issues confronting the schools.

Ete also requested the DDSE concerned to properly check teachers’ absenteeism and irregular and insincere teachers be dealt with strict action. Further, he also appealed the elected legislators not to encourage political transfer and posting in the education department which is not in the interest of the students community. Calling for blanket ban on mid-term transfer and posting of teachers from all Galo inhibited areas, the Union president stated that GSU will not tolerate it.
