SHEIKH NASIR
Kishtwar: Despite repeated claims of the coalition government regarding measures being taken to uplift educational standard in the rural areas, schools in this part of the state are in pathetic condition due to the acute shortage of adequate staff, illegal attachments and premature transfers of teachers.
Appointments of teachers under Rehber-e-Taleem and Serva Shiksha Abhiyan have failed to rescue the people from the deplorable conditions and the measures seems to have failed to yield the desired results.
Government Middle Schools Chicha and Bhella in Nagseni zone are the glaring examples of the ‘educational reforms’. Having the total sanctioned strength of six teachers only one (ReT) teacher was reportedly servicing in each school.
Middle School Checha is near about 40 years old as it has been established in 1971.The schools is the only middle School in the area where the students after covering a long distance are coming daily from near about 10 surrounding villages.
Not only the regular line teachers even some of the ReT teachers posted in these schools have also been attached to other schools. Despite the fact that government has imposed blanket ban on attachments and there are clear directions for the ReT to serve in the respective school even after being inducted as permanent teachers. But rules and regulations seems to be not meant for far flung areas like Chicha Nagseni.
Villagers told The Bold Voice that they have knocked the doors of the authorities at the helm of affairs and have apprised them about the problems confronting the students of the school but all in vain.
Ghulam Hussain, a local resident said, "We approached the CEO Kishtwar as well as the concerned ZEO but no action was taken and it seems that the authorities are sleeping over the matter". He claimed that non availability of teaching staff in the schools have forced the residents to migrate from the area.
"It is very unfortunate that for teaching 8 classes only a single teacher has been posted whereas in the schools situated in the towns more than 20 teachers are being posted in one school" said Mohd Shafi, another local resident. He also criticized this step motherly treatment by the higher authorities and has demanded immediate adjustment of the teaching staff in the school.
