A visit to a government school.....

Poor situation of education systems in the country.



A case report on Government Senior Secondary School, Mangali

AS soon as arrive at this place, I find students passing their time by doing “shararat”, as told by another student.

Visited the male faculty room and found the teachers smoking “bidi”.

Infrastructure:

The school building is fine enough for running such a school.

The school has direct satellite connection called the EDUSAT- A Haryana Govt. and ISRO project on providing quality education through online classes.

The school has computer lab with an LCD projector.

The school even has a silent generator.
Such things are not so common in such schools, hence need a mention.


To pity:

No maintenance of the building.

The EDUSAT equipment lie in dust with the explanation from teachers that they don’t have any computer teacher to handle it, the EDUSAT room is now used as a space for having lunch for teachers.

As the computer teachers are not available, so the computer lab lies in a waste too.

The school has no management and hence no one ever brought fuel to run the generator, and the Rs/- 3lakh generator lays a waste too.



Ask any of the teachers and they state that the students don’t study; they say that the students don’t even wish to study.

Sit with the teachers in the so called staff room built in a science lab, and they discuss the poor performance of the student and not the efforts they should put in.

There is a complete failure of the education system in these government schools, no attention is paid to the students and everything is blamed on the attitude of the students.



Moreover the so called teachers say that students come here only to get the money, and yes students are paid to come to schools; not the general class students but all the SC/BC/OBC’s are paid over 200 rupees a month just to come to school and that is the reason stated by the teachers for their presence in the school.

Physical punishment is a thing of today only i.e. 2010; you can find students being beaten by wooden sticks and then running weeping to their homes.

Class time:

Took the first class; an English lecture for the 9th standard pupils.

They don’t even have text books. The books they have are called guides and those are the only ones they use; this so called guide only has a brief summary of the chapter and the questions and answers; wait, they missed the chapter in the guides.

And to the pity, the kids don’t even know how to read, pronounce and rewrite those English words, and one of the student shouts from behind “ji kala akshar bhains barabar”: that is they don’t know what it means.



I just wonder the government or the authorities ever realized the situation and something good happens; only prayers and local efforts I can do.
