Education
in Govt schools
Sir,
Govt.
schools are suffering a lot of problems
due to which the standard of Education is
deteriorating day by day. No doubt Govt.
has appointed 25000 teachers under
Rehbar-e-Taleem scheme & introduced
English from first class & started
some PG classes at college levels but it
totally failed in raising the standard of
Education in these institutions. Some of
the facts are described below:
It is a
fact that most of the teachers are not
interested to teach the students &
are not performing their duties properly.
Teachers generally teach some selected
questions & prepare award rolls
generally by guess work & not by
giving tests properly. In this way the
students even do not know the basic
alphabet of any language. If a student at
level Ist. Primary is not able to
understand alphabet of English or any
other language, counting or tables. How
he will be able to write and read words
and sentences or able to solve
automatical problems? The worst position
is in case of Science and social science
because these subjects are never taught
in schools at primary level. All the
students are totally dependent on the
notes (Khalasa) or on guides. The whole
sale shopkeepers of such guides give a
high amount to the head of the department
in the form of corruption for forcing the
students to purchase the guides. The
result is that these students never able
to make up their deficiency and carry
this weakness with them in higher classes
and unable to get rid of it.
Teachers
do not reach schools in time. Even after
reaching the schools they never enter
their classrooms in time. Some teachers
remain engaged in elections and other
survey duties & thus causing great
loss to the study of the students. Some
schools are suffering for want of subject
need teachers especially mathematics
teachers who are not sufficient in
numbers to cater the need of schools. The
result is that the syllabus of the
subjects remains incomplete.
Headmasters/Headmistresses
of High Schools and in some middle
schools who have to teach at least one
subject do not bother to do so. They
allot one subject in their time table but
in reality this subject is taught by any
other teacher. Some Heads stick to their
chairs, never visit class rooms. Even
some who are appointed at far off places
attend their offices off and on. They are
keen for the drawl of salary and not to
the academic side.
CEO's
& ZEOs never inspect schools under
them. If by chance some times they
inspect, they just complete it as
formality. CEOs never transfer teachers
as per need of the schools but only to
please their kiths and kins. Many schools
are suffering due to lack of subject
teachers especially in Urdu and
Mathematics. Subject need during
transfers was not kept in mind by CEO's.
In some schools there are more then
required number of teachers were as
others are short of such teachers. If
department is not having subject teachers
in sufficient number, why teachers are
not appointed during appointment of
Rehbar-Taleem teachers.
So,
keeping above all facts and figures, it
is requested to the Minister of Education
to frame some rules and regulations to
check the accountability of teachers in
order to raise the standard of education.
Some suggestions regarding in raising the
standard of education in Govt. schools
are as under:
(i) By
removing the pay anomalies as agreed by
various Governments.
(ii) By
giving incentives to the hardworking
teachers and punishing who are not
performing their duties properly.
(iii)
Remove CCE scheme and conduct Exams half
yearly.
(iv)
Conduct the exam of 5th class through
BOSE
(v)
Separate male and female wing.
(vi)
Appointment of permanent teachers as per
subject need.
(vii)
Giving state awards on the actual
performance of teachers and not as
earlier announced.
(viii)
Surprise visits by concerned authorities.
(ix)
Remove such teachers who are not
physically fit for performing their duty
properly.
(x) Close
such schools having very poor strength of
students.
(xi)
Introduce Computer and other audio visual
aids and many more.
(xii)
Introduction of Khalasas or guides is
strictly prohibited in the schools.
(Xiii)
Some old teachers who are not able to
teach in a changed environment (English
medium) are given premature retirement
and give a chance to energetic talented
youths.
