The A’chik Conscious Holistically Integrated Krima (ACHIK) has written to the Education Minister to complain about a head teacher of a school in Garo Hills who, it alleges, has been absent from duty for the past 15 years while still drawing a salary.
ACHIK said that the head teacher, Poresh Sangma, is appointed to Bolchu Katonggre Lower Primary School but has not worked there for a decade and a half. All the teaching duties thus fall on the assistant teacher, who ACHIK commended for doing the job of both.
However, there is extra strain due to the prolonged absence of the head teacher, which has negatively affected the students. The pressure group called for disciplinary measures to be instigated against the head teacher.
