The AIDSO Mysuru District Committee on Thursday submitted a memorandum to the Manager of the Nanjangud Block Education Officer’s office, seeking the immediate appointment of a Headmaster and an Assistant Teacher at Alatturu Government Higher Primary School in Nanjangud taluk.

AIDSO District Committee member Disha, in a press release, said 78 children were studying at the school and the post of Headmaster had remained vacant for the past two months following the death of the incumbent.

She alleged that despite the government claiming to give priority to education, it had failed to fill the vacant post, affecting the functioning of the school.
