The teachers of the school have alleged that the Principal is never present in the school office during school hours, rendering them helpless when they want to discuss issues regarding welfare of the school and the students.

Meanwhile, the students demanded that the government among other things should furnish the toilets, fix the laboratory and the equipment should be up to date, update the library, fix the classrooms’ leaking roofs and update computers.

The students also said that there are many facilities that are not available to them which they are entitled to as per educational rights.
