Kohima, Sept 08: Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has voiced its concerns regarding the persistent issue of “proxy teachers” in the Nagaland education system. This long-standing problem has had adverse effects on the quality of education and the learning process within the state.
The NSF is now urging the Nagaland education department to adopt a robust stance and implement stringent measures to counteract this issue effectively. One of the primary solutions proposed by the NSF is the introduction of a comprehensive biometric attendance system across all government schools. This technology would help authorities identify and eliminate proxy teachers who have been plaguing the education system for an extended period.

Proxy teachers, often individuals who fill in for actual educators, not only compromise the quality of education but also hinder the overall growth of students. The NSF recognizes the urgency of addressing this matter promptly to safeguard the future of Nagaland’s youth.
Moreover, the NSF has also expressed grave concerns about the practice of political transfers, a widespread issue that extends beyond just the education sector. These transfers, based on political affiliations rather than merit or qualifications, have infiltrated numerous government departments, further exacerbating the problem.
The federation emphasizes its commitment to closely monitor and scrutinize such transfers in an attempt to ensure a just and equitable learning environment within educational institutions. By doing so, the NSF aims to promote a more transparent and fair approach in staffing and personnel changes.
Furthermore, the NSF has extended its support to the government’s efforts in introducing comprehensive education reforms and initiatives. It stands ready to collaborate with authorities to facilitate the necessary changes that will enhance the quality of education and the overall educational experience for Nagaland’s students.
The persistent issue of proxy teachers in Nagaland’s education system is one that requires immediate attention and action. By advocating for the implementation of a biometric attendance system and challenging political transfers, the NSF is taking proactive steps to address these concerns and work towards a brighter and more equitable future for the state’s education sector.
