Agartala, July 27:<\/strong> Tension gripped Kanchannagar West Bagafa Higher Secondary School in Tripura’s Santirbazar subdivision on Monday after students staged a protest against the transfer of a teacher, alleging that the move would further worsen the school’s long-standing teacher shortage.

The protesting students locked the main gate of the school and refused to allow normal academic activities, demanding the immediate cancellation of the transfer of Subrata Sir, whom they described as a dedicated teacher who had served the institution for over two decades.

According to the students, the school is already facing an acute shortage of teachers, and transferring another teacher would severely affect classroom teaching and their academic future. They claimed they were informed about the transfer on Saturday afternoon but were not given any official explanation for the decision.

Several students alleged that despite raising the issue with the School Management Committee (SMC), they did not receive a satisfactory response. Some also accused members of making political remarks during discussions, saying educational matters should not be linked to party politics.

The students further alleged that some teachers discouraged others from joining the protest and even warned that internal assessment marks could be reduced if they participated. These allegations, however, have not been independently verified.

Following the protest, DCM Kakuli Saha reached the school and held discussions with the agitating students. She assured them that their concerns would be conveyed to the appropriate authorities and that the matter would be examined seriously.

After receiving the assurance, the students withdrew their protest and reopened the school gate. However, they maintained that unless the teacher shortage is addressed permanently and transparency is ensured in transfer decisions, similar unrest could arise in the future.

The incident has sparked widespread discussion in the locality, with many questioning the impact of teacher transfers on schools already struggling with inadequate staffing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
