GANGTOK, April 24: The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee on 23 April voiced its bitterness before the Chief Secretary to government of Sikkim pointing deficiency in textbook procurement and posting of teachers in several schools.
In a communication to the Chief Secretary, Chairman to Public Grievance Cell, SC & Minorities of the SPCC, SK Bardewa on behalf of the party appealed for monitoring of the students in several schools, who do not have classes merely to grace the occasion of various departmental activities and semi-political activities of the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) party.
Considering the imprudence likely to destroy the future of Sikkimese children, Bardewa in his communication also highlighted the degrading academic results in some schools against the government invitations of foreign educations at United Kingdom and United States of America. He also pointed the SPCC’s concern over the shortage of teachers in several schools around the state.
The Chief Secretary was also identified that initially text books printings were assigned to one person without resorting to any tender practice, paving way for monopolistic extension to the publisher. But, “the reasons for deficiency has further been aggravated by the lethargic approach of the Education and Human Resource Department to tackle these yearly problems in organised and planned manner”, reads the party communiqué.
The monopolistic supremacy in these business provided by the SDF government itself made him omnipotent and unchallengeable in the interest of the SDF government, but damaging the true welfare and benefit of the students in Sikkim, it adds calling for an immediate redressal of the plight
