ITANAGAR, Jun 20: The Galo Students' Union (GSU) on Thursday convened a Joint Consultative Co-ordination Meeting with all the BEOs, Principals and Headmasters of West Siang District at Govt Nehru Memorial Higher Secondary School, Aalo. The main objective of the meeting was to find corrective measures after poor performance of students in recently declared AISSCE and CBSE results in all the schools of Galo inhabited area.
In his deliberation, GSU president, Mepe Ete, expressed extreme displeasure over the poor results in all the schools of Galo inhabited area and requested the Principals and Headmasters to identify the factors responsible for the poor results.
If the problems are not found out and tabled for discussions for further remedial measures, how can we expect the students to perform well in next exams, Mepe said adding that teachers’ absenteeism should be checked properly and if any teachers are found to be insincere in their duties, strict action should be taken against them.
Adding that parents should also ensure that their wards are attending the classes properly and adhere to the home work assigned to them by the class teachers, GSU president also requested the DDSE to ensure that the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Product (COTPA) Act 2003 is implemented in all the schools under West Siang district.
“Our duties are to make students sensible and give them awareness about the importance of education, but it is the duty of teachers to impart good knowledge and quality education to them through teaching learning process. And teachers should treat every student equal as their own,” Ete asserted.
Calling upon all the elected legislators of the district not to initiate any kind of political transfer and posting in education department, the GSU president also appealed the legislators to give special care for improvement of education system in the district.
GSU Advisor Reken Ingo also opined that parents and guardians should not interfere much in the administration of schools for smooth functioning of schools. Stating that students should be guided by the teachers the moment they enter the school campus, Ingo said sometimes undue interference from parents encourage the students to disrespect the school administration as well as teachers. Cordial relationship between teachers and students is essential in teaching-learning process, Ingo said, adding that the parents and elders should guide their children to respect their teachers.
Expressing concern over students’ absenteeism during class hours, GSU Advisor stressed on parent-teacher close coordination to check such indiscipline.  “It is wrong to blame the school authority for students’ poor performance in exams when the students bunk their classes or are not attending school,” said Ingo.
Ingo suggested for maintenance of strict attendance by the respective class teachers and submit the daily report to Principals/Headmasters, so that irregular students can be indentified for further remedial actions.
The consultative meeting was attended by Principals of GHSS, Aalo, GNMHSS Aalo, GSS Bagra, GHSS Liromoba and Headmasters of GSS Pakam, GSS Pobdi, GSS Nikte, GSS Kombo, GSS New Market Aalo, GSS Dego, GSS Nomuk, GSS Darak , GSS PI Colony, GSS Darka and BEOs from respective circles under West Siang District.
All the principals and headmasters shared their valuable suggestions for improving the education system of West Siang and ensure for their cooperation towards the initiative of GSU in finding remedial measures to ensure the good performance of students in CBSE exams in days to come.
GSU assured to submit the report to the state govt for early redressal of the confronting issues that affect the academic career of students.
Meanwhile, the Union also urged the government to release the salary of all contractual teachers, as 75% of the schools are being run through contractual teachers and non release of their salaries is causing miseries to the contractual teachers. Newsdesk
