IMPHAL | Nov 6

Chiang (Liangmei) Students’ Union today complained about the irregularities of mid-day meals in Langmei High School and for exempting two lecturers from attending school since July 28.

President of Langmei Students Union, Poujengdinbou Newmai told IFP that mid-day meal was served at the school only for two days for 2017 session.

He said it is to their surprise that such governmental scheme which is supposed to be delivered every working day was served only two days for a whole academic year of 2017. The students are deprived of the fundamental right as per Right to Education Act, 2009, he alleged.

Poujengdinbou also said that classes XI and XII Arts are handled by only two teachers in the school and the terminal examination for 2017 was conducted without History and Political Science subjects.

A memorandum was also submitted to the education minister on November 3 by the student body urging the authority concerned to look into the matter and take up necessary actions against the default teacher according to RTE norms 2009.
