| 30% JK schools have no electricity | | Why some Govt schools have no students? | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 22: At a time when the state authorities are claiming that he government run schools in the state offer quality education, figures narrate a different story as more than 30 percent schools run by the government are without electricity.
Figures available with Early Times reveal that the survey in the past conducted by the MHRD mention that 30 percent of the secondary schools during the year 2012-13 that had no power connections. During the year 2013-14, there were 27 percent of secondary schools that face the brunt with no fans during summers and no heaters during the chilling cold. The students have to remain dismayed and perturbed around the year.
Similarly, there are 21 percent of the higher secondary schools in the state that had no electricity during the year 2012-13. In the year 2013-14, there were still 12 percent of the higher secondary schools facing these crises. How the laboratory work and the related activities would have been carried remains to be a million dollar question.
The report maintained further that in aggregate, there are still around 30 percent of the schools including secondary and the higher secondary ones that are under the darkness. When they will move from darkness to light is yet to be seen.
The government keeps the rhetoric that the kids must be admitted in the government schools as the quality of education there is better than that of the private ones but the figures coming out are unmaking such claims and would even make the parents of kids admitted in the government schools think, 'Cant there be any better place than the government schools'
Earlier one of the national daily carried a detailed report on government schools in JK. It mentioned that there are scores of teachers in government schools who are enjoying their life in Gulf countries and the benevolent J&K government continues to pay their salaries each month without break.
Instead of reforming the system and taking some measures to make the government schools accountable, responsible and attractive for the larger population, the minister says, he would have four model schools, two in Jammu and two in Srinagar to make government schools attractive.
These model schools, according to him, will set an example for other government schools to emulate. The minister said that he would issue one laptop each for every headmaster so students living in far-off villages what the device is all about, and not even mind showing them films on such laptops.
Now imagine what the headmaster of a "student-less" school do with the laptop. |
