Will you agree with me if I say that all our actions and interest are pleasing to Satan who is the king of liars. Perhaps we believe that God will not punish us for our sins because He is merciful and gracious, but the Bible clearly tells us in Exodus 34:7 that God will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents.
There was a 24 hours bundh to protest against the order of the Government of Manipur cancelling a number of grant-in-aid schools. The bandh was supported by the Churachandpur Students Union and the Zomi Students Federation. We blame the government for this drastic action because we do not know the reason for it. Do you know how many grant-in-aid school are functioning efficiently in Manipur? I am afraid the number of good grant-in-aid schools are functioning efficiently in Manipur? I am afraid the number of good grant-in-aid schools may not be even 10 (ten). I remember the some years ago a Minister held up the salaries of some teachers of a grant-in-aid school who remained absent for months. The said teachers led by their Pastor brought a domestic animal in the hope of getting mercy of the Minister. The embarrassed Minister said, “I excuse you this time because your Pastor is pleading for you. if I do not excuse you, you will think that I do not obey God. Now you must swear before you Pastor that you should not repeat to absent from duty and that God shall punish you if you neglect your duty in future”. That incident was mentioned by the Minister himself in his speech on the occasion of the Republic Day Celebration.
Is there any good government school in Churachandpur district except the schools located within the town? We have observed with sorrow that the school located in Singngat Assembly Constituency, such as, Singngat high school, Tuaitengphai high School, Saiboh Jr High school, Lungchin Jr High school, Suangdoh Jr High School and Behiang grant-in-aid high school remain defunct. All primary schools are not in better position. Thanks to the generosity of the authority concerned the teachers of the above mentioned schools got their salaries regularly. It is said that the village chiefs used to give attendance certificate in favour of the teachers for which they got 10% of the salaries of the teachers.
Who is responsible for this sorry state of affairs. Shall be blame the local MLA or the Minister or the Students organisations? How long shall the people endure such tragedy which has been created by our own men? Have you ever pondered on the future of youths of today who have been deprived of education? What action has been taken by the NGOs for improvement of the society? Will you hate me if I say that organisations shall share the salaries of teachers who do not perform their duties?
It is said that every year each grant-in-aid school has to submit attendance report of teachers to the authority concerned. Once I wrote an article titled “Sanctity of Students Union” Sad to say, the self-styled leaders utilise the students as their tool and they exploit the people for their benefit. Is it wrong to say that our leaders are not willing to lead the people in a right way? It is mot desirable that the electorate should compel their Ministers and MLAs to perform their duties honestly for the welfare of the people of their respective constituencies.
While the government schools located outside Churachandpur town remain defunct in Churachandpur district the ATSUM has been pressurising the government to appoint teachers for the schools where there is shortage of teachers. We are grateful to the ATSUM for its sincere efforts to improve government schools. In this connection I want to request the members of the ATSUM to prepare a list of all schools of Churachandpur district mentioning staff position of each and every school. Recently the government appointed a number of teachers for schools of hill districts, but God alone knows whether those teachers are presently at their places of posting. ATSUM is the appropriate organisation to ensure that teachers serve in the schools for which they are appointed. Appointment of more teachers will be useless and it will be a way of inviting God’s curse if the teachers do not teach in the schools for which they are appointed. A government school teacher who does not teach in his school is a true enemy of the society. We look forward to the day when we Christians become exemplary loyal citizens to lead others to follow the right path.
