UNB, Khagrchhari :

Academic activities at Khagrachhari Ramgarh Government Boys High School are being hampered seriously due to manifold problems, including crisis of teachers.

The posts of headmaster and assistant headmaster have been lying vacant for long, disrupting academic activities.

Only 15 teachers are available at the school while there is a need for 27 teachers to ensure lessons of 700 students. As a result, providing lessons to the students in the many subjects in most cases become quite difficult.

Six posts of assistant teachers in English and Bengali are lying vacant and only two teachers are struggling a lot to provide proper lessons to the students.

Besides, there is no teacher in mathematics, threatening a risk in the future of the students.

Talking to the acting headmaster of the school, Abdul Quader, said “We have informed the matter of teacher shortage to the Director General of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) but no steps has been taken yet to recruit a teacher.”

 If the situation persists for long then it will be difficult to provide good lessons to the students, he said.

Meanwhile, the local administration did not take any steps to ensure security as some drug addicts often entered the premises, creating panic among the students.

Harunur Rashid, an assistant teacher of Bangla, said it is so difficult to run the classes with one teacher as there are no other teachers in this subject.

Expressing concern over the overall educational activities, Belal Hossain, a guardian said “Most of the guardians of the region are so much concerned over the future of their children as they are not able to sent to their children outside the district for education purpose due to financial crisis.

Biswa Pradeep Kumar, Chairman of Ramgarh Upazila, said “Necessary steps will be taken to recruit more teachers at the school as well as resolve other problems.”
