Aalo, Jan 15: Kerang Upper Primary School celebrated its Golden Jubilee today amid cheers and applauses at its school ground with Education Minister Taba Tedir attending as Chief Guest.
Lauding the teachers, public and students of yesteryears who were instrumental in shaping the school, Tedir said that teachers in government schools are more trained than private schools and brought good results in the past. Close scrutiny reveals that poor performances by students in CBSE are largely due to the fault of students themselves, parents, teachers and SMC and fate of the schools hang around public, SMC and GBs, he said. Many schools in state are defunct and government is contemplating decisions on such schools and funding 3500 plus schools too is difficult, he added. While lauding the efforts of adopting schools by the alumni in East Siang, Education Minister also disclosed that meritorious persons will only be recruited as teachers now and the new online transfer and posting policy for teachers has been brought. He inaugurated the school gate donated by alumni Dr. Taking Gammi, Sr. VO and school extension building on the occasion. Earlier the Minister also inaugurated the Yipe school building at Kaying village and MDM Shed at H.S.S Kaying.
Replying to the three-point memorandum submitted by KUPGJC President Karmur Jerang pertaining to upgradation of UPS Kerang to Secondary School, fencing around the school and construction of teachers’ quarters at Primary School of Kerang, the Minister assured to incorporate them in education budget. Guest of Honour and MLA 32 Rumgong, Talem Taboh and Special Guest, Director Elementary Education Tapi Gao exhorted the students to strive hard in life and cooperate with the school authority to grow further.
Siang DC Rajeev Takuk, SP and other HoDs were present on the occasion. DIPRO
