Naeem's "seriousness" towards rural education exposed 2 months left for board exams, no lecturer of physics, Math, EVS held in Dessa GHSS 8/22/2015 12:28:08 AM Bijay Charak Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 21: While Education Minister Naeem Akhter has asked government schools to produce better results, Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS), Dessa, in Doda still lacks the essential infrastructure and manpower. The school does not have lecturers of Physics, Math and EVS notwithstanding the fact that only two months are left for final exams and syllabus of these subjects is yet to be touched. Rayees Ahmed, a resident of Dessa, told Early Times that the school was upgraded by State Government in 2003 and had a sanction of 12 posts of lecturers and a post of principal but it "has only eight lecturers -- four permanent and four contractual". "Since the government has yet not appointed the lecturers of Physics, Maths and EVS, the students continue to suffer for no fault of theirs,"Ahmed said. He regretted that while the government had decided to start evening classes in government-run schools of Jammu district to help students in their studies and improve their results, it had no policy for the students belonging to remote areas. "In Jammu district department has identified 38 government schools where students will be taught in evening classes, in addition to regular class work, to clear their doubts and improve their basic skills but what about those students whose board exams are going to be held within two months", he asked. Another resident said that the quality education had taken a backseat in the government-run educational institutions because several posts of principals, lecturers, headmasters, masters and teachers had been lying vacant. "In GHSS, Dessa, around 200 students were enrolled this year in class 12, out of which 145 chose science stream but surprising their three main subject teachers are yet not appointed by the government", he said. Chief Education Officer, Doda Ajit Kumar Sharma said that in beginning of this session, contractual staffers were appointed in the schools where posts were lying vacant and also directed the concerned ZEOs to provide staff on internal arrangement. "I have not received any complaint regarding scarcity of lecturers in this school but I assure you that I will discuss the matter with the concerned ZEO", Sharma said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
