Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 19: Contrary to the huge salaries that they get, teachers of JU's Directorate of Distance Education have produced shameful result in the B.A./B.Com part I examination, with just 8.6 percent of the students managing to get passing marks. Sources informed Early Times that these teachers have produced poor result with a very low percentage in the subjects of English, Hindi, History, Economics and Political Science with students feeling cheated. Out of total 1588 students who appeared in examination this year, only 128 passed with total 8.6 result percentage. Subject-wise performance of these teachers revealed that in English the result was 12 percent, in Hindi, 8 percent in History, 11 percent in Economics and 17 percent in Political Science. The sources further told that these teachers have been getting monthly salary ranging from ninety thousands to over lac of rupees adding although they get hefty pay, they do nothing except draining the University funds using the DDE as a paradise to enjoy the life under the patronage of University Authority with no one to question and hold them accountable for such a poor performance. The sources disclosed that from the next year, semester system will be switched over from annual system of education and with such an inefficient and negligent teaching staff, the academic atmosphere is likely to go from bad to worse, as a very big preparatory exercise is needed to launch the semester system. An insider told pleading anonymity that some of these teachers are required to be taught a sense of belonging about the Institution adding that they are more interested in vitiating the academic environment of DDE. They rather indulge into utterances replete with pressure-tactics to intimidate the concerned authority so that they continue to ignore their nefarious activities detrimental to the larger interests of students and hide their act of insubordination, gross inefficiency and dereliction towards their academic duties for which they are well paid by the University. |
