DEAR SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHANJI : HERE IS HOW TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD FOR EDUCATIONAL REFORMS

 Schools without Teachers ?

 

 

Dear Shri Dharmendra Pradhanji

 

( Minister for Education / minister.sm@gov.in  )

 

 

 

As recently observed by Hon CJI, it is easy to criticize Government and Supreme Court for anything and everything

 

Then, once-in-a-while, some persons ( with or without DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE ), would tell the government :

 

Do this and do that

 

May be they have no clue as to the COST of implementing their suggestions

 

You cannot blame them. It is Government’s job to “ educate “ them , with facts and figures ( implications )

 

As far as the cost of improvement in EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE is concerned, you might want to examine the following :

 

QUESTIONNAIRE  ( 01 May 1984 )

 

After updating this with the latest data / figures ( and expanding it with some more / relevant topics ), you may want to publish it on the website of your Ministry and invite comments from public / educationists

Schools without Teachers ?

 

 

Not quite, but quite close !

 

Context :

 

1 lakh schools in India run with just 1 teacher each: Unesco  Report    /  TNN  /  06 Oct 2021

Extract :

 

Ø  Around 1.1 lakh schools in India are single-teacher entities 

 

Ø  A total of 19% or 11.16 lakh teaching positions in schools lie vacant in the country , 69 % of them in rural areas

 

Ø  7.7% pre-primary,  4.6% primary and 3.3 % upper primary teachers are under-qualified

 

Ø  Women account for 50 % of the teaching work-force in India

 

Ø  State-wise teacher vacancies : UP .. 3.3 lakh / Bihar.. 2.2 lakh / W.Bengal.. 1.1 lakh

 

Ø  MP has the highest no of Single Teacher schools at 21,077

 

Ø  There is a marked Rural – Urban disparity and a need to improve AVAILABILITY and deployment of QUALIFIED teachers in the North-East

 

Ø  Of the teachers qualifications, the UNESCO Report says about 16 % of Pre-Primary, 8 % of Primary , 13 % of Upper Primary , 3 % of Secondary and 1 % of Higher Secondary teachers , are under-qualified in Bihar

 

Ø  While teacher availability has improved, Pupil–Teacher ratios, are adverse in secondary schools

 

 

 
My Take :

 

 

In case, readers are wondering :

 

“  How much progress has our Education System made over past 36 years ? “
