Imphal, April 12 2015 : Quality or meaningful education still remains a mirage, something inaccessible in many interior areas of Ukhrul district such as Nongman, Sorde, Kumram and Patbung.
Shortage of teaching staff and teachers’ absenteeism are the two biggest and most common problems afflicting school education in these areas as observed by a joint team of ICHAM volunteers and reporters.
Though Nongman Primary School was upgraded to the level of Junior High School having classes up to VI in 2014, the school is suffering from acute shortage of teaching staff.
Moreover, some teachers posted anew at the school have not yet joined the school thereby rendering its upgradation a futile and meaningless exercise.
In the absence of its own building, Patbung Primary School is run at the newly constructed PHSC building which is yet to be inaugurated.

The situation is nothing better at Sorde High School.
Even as seven class rooms were constructed anew under DRDA, all the floors broke apart soon after and students are now attending classes amidst loose stones and sand.
Whereas the prescribed strength of teaching staff for Sorde High School is 32, only 10 teachers have been doing all the works.
The practice of substitute teachers is also very prevalent at Sorde High School too, said some villagers.
Since the day they joined the school, two teachers who were transferred to Sorde H/S have not been seen at the village.
