Imphal, April 26 2009:
Claiming that assigning of S Geeta to the post of Chairmanship of Council of Higher Secondary Education Manipur (COHSEM) has violated the existing criteria, DESAM has boycotted the new Chairman of the Council.
Education Secretary of DESAM, A Thoithoi in a press conference conducted at its head office today said that the concerned authority took the decision in a haste without looking into the criteria of appointment of Chairman of the Council.
Such decision of the State Government would only discourage those employees who are committed to their duties, added Thoithoi.
According to the guidelines, he added, a person who has served as Director in Education (U) or Education (S) Department can be appointed as the Chairman of COHSEM.
He also said that those Government Principals, who have 15 years of experience having reader/selection grade qualification can also be appointed for the post.
Maintaining that Additional Director S Geeta does not possess the said requirement, Thoithoi asserted that DESAM would boycott the new Chairman.
The student leader also demanded the Education (S) Secretary to revoke the order issued on April 24 regarding the appointment of S Geeta as Chairman of the Council.
