Whereas many students had options for school buses, but others faced a lot of problem due to CPI-M motor union strikes. Moreover, due to the strike on Tuesday by CPI-M's motor Union, the school buses also took a long time to ply on the roads. Such conditions not only kill time, but also disturb the students' mind before the examination. During night in various areas, loud music due to functions held by local public, disturbing the students' study. Although instructions are given to turn off the music after 10 pm, but the state Govt. should revise its policy that students prepare themselves for the next day examination not after 10 pm but during the daytime, evening hours.

| Tripura's educational scenario in doldru | AGARTALA, March 2 (TIWN): Despite tall claims made by the Left Front Government of Tripura pertaining to the educational scenario of the state, the ground reality tells a different tale. The educated youth hates to join teaching service as because eligibility requirements for a teacher’s job is not adhered by the State Government. This has resulted in huge amount of teacher’s crisis. Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) areas are the worst sufferers in this point. Teachers in the state were scared to go to school when the law and order situation was appalling in the remotest corners. The recalcitrant State Government never acted upon it and thus, the situation still remains the same. Meanwhile, huge number of teachers have been superannuated. However, the State Government never contemplated filling up the vacuum created by those superannuated lot. The terms and conditions of teacher’s recruitment have been amended throughout India by mandating appearance for Teacher’s Eligibility Test (TET). As the State Government recruited 10,323 teacher’s without conducting TET, the Tripura High Court declared the appointments null and void. Challenging this verdict, the State Government moved the Supreme Court. The case is still pending before the apex Court. If the apex Court stands by the High Court, 10, 323 teachers would surely lose their jobs. | 01-Mar-2016 |
