Dimapur | May 4: As appeared in the local dailies, the Dimapur unit of the All Nagaland School Teachers’ Association (ANSTA) went ahead their with their first-phase agitation, over the non-release of salaries by the state government for the last three months, by boycotting classes in government-run schools of the district on Monday.
Heeding the call given by the Dimapur unit of the ANSTA, teachers of almost all government-run schools in the district boycotted classes today. Teachers of Government Middle and Primary Schools located in Lengrijan (Dimapur) attended school but abstained from taking classes. The Headmaster informed that they would continue with the boycott “till further notifications” are received. Same was the case at Government High School, Singrijan, with the teachers attending school but not entering the classrooms. Yet it was also learned that some government primary schools were not aware of the boycott call.
However, the Government Higher Secondary School, Dimapur, held normal classes. The Principal informed that keeping the interest of students in mind (terminal exams will begin from May 18), GHSS Dimapur will continue with normal classes. It was also disclosed that “as directed by the higher authority not to boycott classes”, teachers of GHSS Dimapur have been informed to continue with normal classes in view of the deadline given by the ANSTA to the state government in solving the issue till May 11. It was also learned from sources that GHSS Chumukedima continued with routine classes.
President of the ANSTA unit of Dimapur, when contacted, informed that the boycott call was a success. He said that almost all government-run schools in the district participated in the “first-phase” of their agitation. Students of government schools, with terminal exams in the offing, will be greatly affected if the current crisis is not brought to an amicable conclusion immediately.
