KOHIMA, DECEMBER 5
Parliamentary Secretary for Municipal Affairs and Economics & Statistics R. Tohanba on Saturday lamented the poor performance of government schools despite the high investment and better payments for government teachers.
“Private schools are much better while government schools are lacking far behind the high investment made by the government for government teachers,” Tohanba said while addressing the parents day celebration of Mezhür Higher Secondary School Kohima here.
This shows the lack of sincerity amongst many government teachers, which has to be streamlined, he suggested.
Lauding the efforts made by the teachers of private schools in moulding the students with hard-work and dedication, he encouraged them to do much better.
The Parliamentary Secretary also appealed to the parents to devote time and guide their children back home while stating that class-room education is not enough for the students in this competitive world.
Expressing that education is mandatory to be a productive person in the society, he said that spending time and money for children’s education is an investment for the future wellbeing. “We should give them the best education to attain proper knowledge,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tohanba also lauded Management and teaching faculty of MHSS for being one of the best schools in the state in providing quality education to thousands of students. He also congratulated the school for producing cent per cent pass percentage in HSLC and HSSLC Exam 2015.
Tohanba also gave awards to teachers and students for the best academic performance.
