Tizit students appeal for new school building

Dimapur, June 13 (EMN): Highlighting on the deplorable condition of the lone Government Higher Secondary School in Tizit town under Mon district, Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) has asked the government to construct the school building before the end of current academic session. The union president, T Noklem Konyak, and the general secretary, Phoanei Konyak, stated that the present GHSS Tizit, which was upgraded in the year 2011, is still functioning in an old and worn out girls hostel building constructed in the year 1981. The union expressed apprehension that the school building has become risky for the students as it is on the verge of collapsing. Besides, it stated that the building also could not accommodate enough students. The union further stated that the department would be held responsible in the event the building collapse. It has further warned to initiate its own course of action to the extent of suspending regular classes if the government fails to address the matter. TASU also reminded the concerned department about the shortage of teachers particularly in the science and maths department. The union has asked the department to immediately appoint the above mentioned teachers. Meanwhile, TASU has appreciated GHSS Tizit for producing good results in the last HSSLC results with 94.82 pass percent and the Eklavya Model Residential School Tizit for producing cent percent result in the HSLC examinations.
