Residents of a village in Tripura have called on authorities to assign teachers to their school without delay, citing disruption to children's education.
Villagers in a remote settlement of Tripura have rallied together to demand that the state education department appoint teachers to their local school without further postponement. The community says the school has been operating without permanent teaching staff for an extended period, leaving children without regular instruction.
According to the residents, the absence of qualified teachers has forced students to rely on irregular volunteer lessons, which they fear is compromising learning outcomes and widening educational gaps. Parents highlighted that many children are now falling behind their peers in neighboring areas that have fully staffed schools.
Local leaders have approached district education officials, urging an immediate deployment of qualified teachers and a review of staffing norms for rural schools. While officials have acknowledged the complaint, a concrete timeline for teacher placement has not yet been announced.
