IMPHAL, April 9: The Moreh Higher Secondary School was found in a severe state of unsatisfactory academic atmosphere with the school running without the principal even as higher classes did not have a single lecturer.
This came to light after a team of AMSU members led by its secretary general visited the higher secondary school on an inspection tour as part of the campaign launched by the union, a release said on Tuesday.
During the inspection visit, the AMSU team found Moreh Higher Secondary School in a bad academic atmosphere where the school was running without the principal and instead a senior lecturer was in-charge of the institute.
Moreover, it was also discovered that there was not a single regular lecturer for higher classes and that four graduate teachers were found taking their salaries for five-six years without attending classes by sending their substitutes to discharge their duties.
An unauthorized substitute teacher was teaching English subject for the last 20 years as the government has failed to send English teacher, the AMSU release said.
AMSU said Moreh Higher Secondary School (class I-XII) has a total of 734 students and further raised question as to why the Manipur government is not sending a principal and other regular lecturers to the school till today.
The lecturers of Moreh Higher secondary School who have been skipping their duty are Brahmacharimayum Kulachandra, Science graduate; Helet Haokip, Arts graduate; Md Shahid Khan, XII passed cobit Hindi and Md Oil.
Urging the government to fill up the vacant seat of the Principal and other regular lectures for the school at the earliest, AMSU further appealed the government to also provide necessary infrastructure of the school.
