| JK Govt allows ruthless violation of rules by few private schools | | Sorry State of affairs ! | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 11: The Education department at large in Kashmir valley is being ridiculed for allowing an open plunder and violation of rules by certain private schools, leaving the parents perturbed and exposing the inefficient system ruling the roost.
Social media is abuzz with the pictures of large serpentine queues of parents outside a particular garment shop wherein few elite schools have kept their uniform for sale and while no other shop is there where a parent can get a uniform. This has led to total chaos on the ground with parents accusing the school of hounding them with no fear of law and reprisals. “I have spent more than four hours here to get a simple house uniform for my 8 year old kid. After standing in line for so long, I was told at the counter that the uniform is unavailable for now and that I should come a few days later. This is unacceptable and akin to torturing us,” says a perturbed parent.
Another parent said that it looks as if the education department is hand in glove with these schools as it allows them to violate the rules in broad daylight. “This violation is going on a few yards away from the office of the Director Education in Lal Chowk. How not even a single official could visit the shop and the school to rein in such practice,” he said.
He added that there has been no effort being made by the government to stop such a practice at an earliest and bring those to book who are making education a ruthless and an unforgiving business.
Meanwhile, the infrastructure at the government schools continues to remain dismal with no effort being made to ensure that the shortcomings are addressed at an earliest. As per the government records, out of 8966 schools and 559 Anganwadi centers, 1480 schools (17 per cent) and 203 Anganwadi centers (36 per cent) were not provided any drinking water facility by the PHE Department or any other Department. It implies that the Department had not been serious in mitigating the water scarcity problem to the school-going children despite the programme being in operation for the last over 10 years. The funds for providing water supply to schools were stopped by GoI since 2016-17. Such an action by the government of India is reportedly due to the non- performance of the executing agency on ground. |
