Irked by the “non-implementation” of the five demands of the Eastern Nagaland Students’ Federation (ENSF) last August, the organization is all set to boycott the teachers’ recruitment drive to be held on January 21.
Speaking to this correspondent, vice president of ENSF Likhumse Sangtam said the organization had no intention to boycott the recruitment drive. However, he said the government compelled the ENSF to boycott the scheduled recruitment. The agitation of August 14, 2011 was called off after the ENSF received written assurances that the demands would be fulfilled, he lamented. But “only a partial demand was done and rest are yet to implement,” he said. Asserting that the ENSF will not compromise with ‘partial fulfillment,’ the student leader said the organization will boycott the teachers’ interview on January 21 in all the four districts in the districts Mon, Tuensang, Kiphire and Longleng.
Also the president of the Konyak Students’ Union (KSU), Methna said the state government failed to implement the demands ‘even after 4 months of its written assurance.’ He said that the ‘government should not involve politics in educational system.’
Regretting the “inconveniences” caused to aspiring candidates, he also appealed all the examinees of the Eastern Nagas to understand the position of the ENSF behind boycotting the said interview. President, Phom Students’ Conference, (PSC) Longleng, Malang Phom also said that since the government is not been responsive according to its assurance, the PSC is all prepared to boycott the teachers’ interview extending its support to the ENSF. The ENSF units United Sangtam Students’ Conference, Kiphire and Confederation of Chang Students’ Union of Tuensang also said it would boycott the recruitment drive.
Mention may be made here that the ENSF launched indefinite agitations in the month of August last year making demands that teachers of both primary and graduates under SSA be given to “eastern” Nagaland; all vacancies arising within the so-asserted “eastern Nagaland” areas be filled by inhabitants of six tribes and that no post be transferred out of the district along with the post. The transfer of more than 1500 teachers, both primary and graduate along with the post from four district of eastern Nagaland has led to acute shortage of teachers, the student organization claimed in its demands.
