Phek’s education woes: headmasters, edu. officials ‘bunking offices’

It appears that Phek has yet to recover fully from the education crisis that swept the district early this year: now students have complained that the headmaster of the government higher secondary school and officials under the establishment of the sub-divisional education office are shirking from work.

The Phek Town Chakhesang Students’ Union (PTCSU) issued press release on Tuesday, September 15, demanding action against the erring officials. The PTCSU warned that if the authorities do not take disciplinary action against the officials, the union would take its own.

“The Phek Town Chakhesang Students’ Union (PTCSU) while conducting a surprise checking had detected habitual irregularities and negligence of head master in performing his official duties,” the union stated. ‘While interacting with the school’s authorities, the union has learnt that he had attended the school once since February 7 till date i.e., 14th Sept 1015.’

The union expressed anguish at the irregularity of the “head master (GHSS) Phek.” His irregularity and negligence, the students’ organization stated, “Clearly manifests that he don’t spare a thought for students quality education as well as career while at present the students are facing lots of hardships due to shortage of teachers at GHSS.”

Likewise, the PTCSU has alleged that the sub-divisional education officer continues to stay away from stay and neglecting duties.

The organization stated in the press release: “The union too had detected SDEO education office for several irregularities, negligence and out of station in most of the occasion and failing in performing his official duties which creates hardships and inconveniences to the people of Phek town and especially people coming from far flung villages just to seek, avail necessary signature, forwarding and other official works.”

Stating the details as “facts and circumstances,” the students have demanded from the higher authorities disciplinary actions against the “defaulters” as per the Government Service Rules Act.


“The union will never hesitate to pursue its course of action and shall not be held responsible for any untoward incidents, if the concern department fails to redress the grievances of students and public at large,” the PTCSU stated.
