Dimapur, Sep. 2 (EMN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) and the Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) have served a 30-day ultimatum to the government of Nagaland to fulfil the agreement signed between the School Education department, the Nagaland Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers’ Association (NSSATA), NSF and ENSF on June 12, 2018.

In a joint statement issued by the presidents of NSF and ENSF, the federations stated that the third point of the agreement called for rectification of the nature of appointment of SSA teachers (2010 and 2013 batches) and the Cabinet had subsequently decided in principle to bring the teachers of all 2010 and 2013 batches of SSA and RMSA into the mainstream of School Education cadre, but the same hasn’t been implemented till date despite repeated reminders.
