When contacted, Education Minister Taba Tedir expressed grave concern over the poor performance by the students of the government schools.
The minister blamed “poor quality education at the elementary level, shortage of subject teachers, and lack of professionalism by teachers” for it.
“Many Class 9 and Class 10 students can’t even read and write English properly,” he said, and informed that his department had placed before the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission 500 vacant teachers’ posts for recruitment two years ago, “but the recruitment process has been hampered due to the current imbroglio in the commission.”
Tedir said that around 600-700 teachers’ posts are currently lying vacant in the state.
School Education Director Marken Kadu echoed the minister’s opinion.
Kadu said that “many students were promoted during the Covid-19 pandemic without conducting examinations, which resulted in poor academic performance by the students.”
