PASIGHAT, Sep 19: In an emergency meeting of elected leaders of East Siang district, including Councillors of Pasighat Municipal Council (PMC) and PRI members on Sunday, the house opposed the rationalization process of teachers during mid-session.

They opined that the indiscriminate transfer of teachers near the half-yearly examinations would definitely hamper the students.

According to reports, the state’s Education Department by an order transferred as many as 151 teachers serving in various schools in East Siang district to other districts, which is causing dissatisfaction among the students as well as parents. The authority earlier this year ordered transfer of 218 teachers within East Siang district, which resulted in a massive reaction.

According to the elected leaders, transfer of teachers in mid-academic session is worrying the students, who are preparing for half yearly examinations.

“We are not opposing the rationalization of teachers, but it should not be done in the mid-academic session by hampering the teaching-learning process”, said PMC Chief Councillor, Kaling Doruk.
The elected leaders have appealed to the Pasighat DDSE, local MLA Kaling Moyong and Education Minister to take steps for temporary suspension of the transfer order for the sake of students.

The list of transferred teacher includes name of Kangkep Perme, Head Teacher at UPS Jarkong who received the National Teachers’ Award-2016 this year. Moreover, many senior teachers, who are nearing superannuation, are also being transferred to remote districts.
