The Seyochung Village Students’ Union (SVSU) visited Government High School, Seyochung Village, as part of their regular school monitoring program. The purpose of the visit was to observe the school’s development, check on the progress, and interact with the school authorities and staff.

During the visit, both the teaching and non-teaching staff shared several concerns with the union. The school currently has no toilet or urinal facilities for the students and staff. There Is also no water supply in the school, which makes daily functioning very difficult. Additionally, the school has no staff quarters, which is a major problem for teachers who come from outside the village.

Longtili C. Sangtam, President of the SVSU, assured the school authority that the union will take up these issues with the concerned departments and try to find a solution at the earliest. He said the union is committed to improving the education environment in the village.

The President also thanked the District Education Officer (DEO) Kiphire and the Department of School Education for recently appointing an Assistant Headmaster (AHM) at the school. He said this has brought some improvement to the administration of the school.

However, the union also appealed to the department to urgently post a Science teacher at the school, as the subject is currently being left out due to the lack of a qualified teacher.

The President further informed that the Students’ Union has been visiting the school every month to work together with the school staff and management for better functioning and to provide support wherever possible.

One positive development the union appreciated is the use of solar power by the school. The school is fully running on solar energy, which is a good example of using renewable energy. The President said this is an encouraging step and hopes more such green initiatives will be taken in the future.
