Claiming the confirmation received from DEO and DIS Wokha that the listed teachers do not serve in Wokha district, KSU expressed that the joining report of 81 primary teachers (non-Lothas) who were regularized could not be entertained as it was a “direct violation” of education guidelines for appointment of primary teachers in government schools to conform to linguistic jurisdiction on criteria.
While appealing the DEO and DIS Wokha not to allow the newly appointed primary teachers to join their respective schools of posting, KSU president, Subenthung Kithan and general secretary, Amos Odyuo stated that subsequent appointment should be made against the mentioned post in the existing schools and expressed concern over the posting of primary teachers in non-existing schools/villages.
