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
with regards,

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 ? “
Then they may want to look up following report submitted to :
Professor Ashok Chandra/ Educational Advisor (T)/ Ministry of Education / GOI ,
