Recalling the recent ban on Catholic schools, Angamba further said that it is unfortunate to consider schools as some form of money making scheme. He also appealed not to consider students as a form of political weapons.
On the other hand, blaming the government, Angamba further said that the government has not made any legal work regarding centrally sponsored schemes and transfer policies of teachers.
The current government has not made any real steps to develop education sector. Angamba brought to mind that without education progress is impossible. He also pointed out that everyone should face forward so that strict monitoring can be made on knowledge industry to bring development and peace.
