RUKSIN, Jan 25: Member of Parliament Tapir Gao urged the school teachers to discharge their duties with utmost sincerity and dedication to create human resources.
Attending the day-long golden jubilee celebration of Government Secondary School, Ngorlung in East Siang district on Saturday, Gao lamented that the “quality and quantity of human resources is found disproportionate to the number of educational institutions in the area.” He urged the former students to play a pro-active role for improving the educational scenario of their alma mater.

He also appealed to the community based organizations, village heads and women groups to organize awareness campaign against social evils.

Pasighat West MLA Ninong Ering also advised parents and guardians to guide their wards in “proper way.”
“Young students should be allowed to choose a way for building their career without any interference. Apart from formal education, the students should take part in co-curricular activities for overall development,” Ering said while urging the educated youths to undergo skill training for self sustenance.
The MLA informed that he has taken responsibility to bear the expenses for advanced coaching for meritorious students of his constituency.
Elementary Education Director Tapi Gao said the state government has formulated clear transfer and posting policy for the teachers, which is available in the government websites.
