Issues code of conduct for students
The Angami Students’ Union (ASU) has announced that its resolution on tuition fee would be implemented in all Angami jurisdictions till further notification.
Accordingly, the tuition fee for class 10 and below would be Rs 700 per month with at least five classes a week and a minimum of one hour for every class. The rate for home tuition would be Rs 2,000 per month with minimum of one hour for every class, while the teacher-student ratio in a single tuition batch should be 1:6.
Noting that some private colleges, schools, coaching institutes and hostels were managed by individuals for profit and business, leading to astronomical rates of fees with little or no facilities, ASU secretary (education) Vimetsino Yakhro and grievances cell convener Zhovito Rikha in a press release said the regulation of these institutes would be sincerely monitored along with the authorities concerned.
They also discouraged imposition of fines against failed subjects and absentees. They said the above fee structure was strictly for urban areas only, directing all ASU units to formulate their own fee structure in their respective village and jurisdiction.
Cautioning that any person who failed to comply with the norms would be severely dealt with, they requested all institutions within the ASU jurisdiction to take note of the regulations.
They said queries and information regarding the matter could be intimated through SMS or grievances cell convener on 9863344317 and 8794983064. Meanwhile, issuing a students’ code of conduct, the ASU leaders declared that any student found in alcohol joints, cyber cafes or any other places in uniform during school hours was unacceptable.
And in such cases, they warned that the proprietors would be equally penalised, stating that students in uniform roaming about during school hours would be monitored.
They said students in uniform found indulging in any immoral activities too would be penalised.
Mentioning that threat or any form of disrespecting the teachers and staffs would not be tolerated, they cautioned that if any such incident occurred, stern action would be initiated against such insubordinate students.
They warned students against forming gangs and involving in gang fights, disclosing that such behaviour would be seriously dealt with. They stressed that such practices must be discouraged by parents, teachers and the public by reporting such activities.
