Govt to take action against schools

By Gopal Sharma
JAMMU, Mar 29: The Government is going to take action against the teachers and the heads of the Government schools which have shown less than 10 per cent result in the Matriculation examination and an inquiry in this regard is being initiated by the Commissioner Secretary Education shortly.
Disclosing this on the floor of the Upper House of J&K Legislature here today, Minister of State for Tourism and Culture, Nwang Rigzin Jora, while responding on behalf of School Education Minister, today said that Government is certainly going to take action against the schools and its staff who have shown less than 10 percent result in the Matriculation examination recently.
Expressing his displeasure and regret in the House of Elders, on the questions raised by PDP Member Murtaza Ahmed Khan and Syed Rafiq Shah from NPP here today, the minister said despite having highly qualified teachers in the Government schools who are getting good salaries, the result has been very poor. Compared to these schools, the private school teachers whose salary is far less, are giving good result. The private school teachers are afraid of losing their job if they will not perform but the Government teachers perhaps are of the notion that they can be placed under suspension and will get their dues after being reinstated. Lack of monitoring by senior officers and heads of the schools is also one of the reasons behind it. He said the directions have gone to the Commissioner /Secretary Education in this regard. An inquiry is being initiated and action will be taken against the teachers/ officers responsible.
Mr Jora disclosed that forty two (42) Winter Zone schools in Kashmir have shown less than 10 percent result during annual Matriculation Examination in 2011. Out of these total 42 schools, 20 of them have given ‘Zero’ per cent result. The things are not very good in Jammu region. A total 108 winter zone schools in Jammu region have given less than 10% result. Out of these 50 schools are in erstwhile Doda (including Ramban & Kishtwar) and 37 schools in Udhampur district. 15 Schools in Doda and 14 schools in Udhampur districts have produced Zero percent result. Over all , 33 winter zone schools in Jammu region have shown Zero percent result. The data provided by the minister indicated that strength of teachers is very high as compared to number of students in many schools in Srinagar, Baramulla and Anantnag but these institutions have shown dismal picture.
Murataza Khan while reading the figures and names of schools showing zero percent result, opined that names of concerned Directors (SE) be recommended for ‘Bharat Ratna’ award. He strongly demanded that people responsible for such results deserve punishment.
The schools of Jammu region which have shown Zero percent result were Govt High School Maonie, H S Thalala, GHS Pull Doda, H S Thanala, H S Bun Doda, H S Panjsu, H S Manoo, H S Jagota, H S Gurkha, GHS Kilhotran, H S Lohai, H S Banjal, H S Gahan, H S Saranwan, H S Patimahal, H S Keshwan, H S Thumb Ishtiyari,H S Sigdi, GHS Wandmanhasa, H S Gabbar, H S Bagankote,H S Sanglikote, H S Bassan,H S Dhanore, H S Pattian, HSS Balmatkote, H S Charat, H S Joffar, H S Mada, H S Murothi, H S Sewna, HSS Bashat and H S Pattangarh.
