AGARTALA, July 27 (TIWN): With a surprise in SFI ruled Tipura school students have come in massive protest with the demand of 'quality education' and asked for providing teachers in senior classes or shut down the senior classes. The students of Ananda Vidya Niketan H S School led by senior students held a protest by blocking road and showing banners with their various demands. Among all the demands, diminishing the teacher crisis problem was the topmost demand of the students as a huge number of students are now leaving the school due to lack of teachers. Whereas at Netaji, Tulshibati schools teachers are more than the need, but at the same time another school in the Capital City, is hitting with teacher crisis.

When schools are suffering from teacher-crisis, Tripura Govt has become busy to appoint non-teaching staffs in school education dept. The most crucial truth is that TET qualified many candidates were deprived of job even though they could give a huge contribution the crisis.

When schools are running teacherless, to prove CPI-M State Secretary Bijan Dhar’s comment that good marks can not make good teachers’, Tripura Govt against 821 vacant posts advertized in daily, selected only 529 candidates, whereas 1200 candidates already qualified TET.

 Thus 292 posts are left vacant amidst plenty of qualified teachers who have B.Ed as well as passed TET in last year.

However, question also raised, how the school students can plan for such a massive protest with demands of giving teachers in senior classes, mid-day-meal issues and maintenance.

But had the state govt opened B.Ed Colleges in state the situation would be different today. Earlier without Govt jobs, students had no chance to get B.Ed degree due to lack of college and seats for fresher. Many B.Ed qualified are unemployed in Tripura till day but vacant seats are left vacant, thus the classes remain empty.
