Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 30: Time and again Education Minister have laid emphasis on teachers to provide good results in board examinations but they have virtually failed to train 22 thousands teachers who are still working in primary schools across the state.
Sources in education department informed Early Times that in Jammu division around 10 thousand teachers are still untrained,. The reports from Kashmir are equally disturbing.
They said that not for profit organization 'Pratham' that works across urban and rural India to help children acquire basic skills in reading and arithmetic, was engaged by Department of School Education in J&K to impart training to government teachers to what the department said, 'to raise education standards and abilities in students in Government run schools'.
They further said that their report presents a shocking picture of how education standards are being compromised in most government schools of Jammu and Kashmir.
As per report, 10.7 percent of students up to 8th standard are able to 'recognize numbers from 1-9, while as 34.7 percent of students are able to recognize the digits from 1-99' in state of Jammu and Kashmir.
"The report reads, only 37.1 percent of students of 4th to 5th standard are able to solve questions related to subtraction while as only 13.7 percent of 5th class students can do division. Students not only were unable to recognize the numbers, but it also reveals that 30.4 percent of students upto middle class can subtract but cannot do division and only 19 percent can solve the division of numbers", sources said, adding that the percentage of students who can read the capital letters in English from 1-8th standard is only 6.6 percent, while the percentage of students who are able to read the small letters in English has been put as 12.2 percent.
Only 29.7 percent of students in 8th standard are able to read simple words in their books, while as 45.9 students are in a position to read the 'easy' sentences. The report further reviled that only 23 percent of students in 1st standard are able to read the text from their books.
"However, J&K has nearly 550 Elementary Teachers Training institutions (ETTs) and 142 private B.Ed colleges, which have been imparting professional training among educated youth to teach students in various schools. It may sound strange but true that the state has hundreds of Teachers Training Institutions but interesting government have recruited thousands of un trained teachers", sources said.
When contacted Joint Director (Training) (Principal SIE Jammu) Department of School Education Jammu, he said that he was not much knowledge about the teachers training. If you want accurate information, how many un-trained teachers have achieved professional training till date please contact Directorate?
Repeated calls by this jurno to Director School Education Jammu, she didn't pick the phone calls. |
