| Govt schools in Chenani face acute shortage of teachers | | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Mar 6: Despite making tall claims to strengthen the school education sector across the Union Territory of J&K, several schools are still grappling with the problem of adequate strength of teaching staff. Government schools in Chenani and its adjoining areas in Udhampur district are facing severe shortage of teachers at all levels. In several schools, lack of teachers has not only left the available teachers struggling to do justice with their job but also made the students to suffer. One such educational institution in Chenani area is Government Middle School (GMS) Kosar where only 4 teachers have been deputed to teach as many as 200 students.
Speaking about the difficulties, a local, at village Kosar said, “Only fours teachers are handling at least two hundred students in the school and this is really stressful for them. Moreover it also affects the studies of the students. They are certainly at the receiving end.”
Several locals said that the students of GMS Kosar are bearing the brunt due to the shortage of the teaching staff, adding that they cannot afford private tuitions for their wards so as to make up any loss they are facing academically because of less number of teachers.
The inhabitants of Kosar further said that the students of the village and areas nearby have already suffered a lot due to the Corona pandemic as they were not able to take online education properly as there is lack of mobile signal in several far-off places.
People alleged that they tried their best to attract attention of the School Education Department as well as the district administration to address the issue of severe shortage of teachers in various government schools in the area but nobody paid heed in this regard.
They said that the area is also facing a lack of basic necessities of life like water, electricity and roads but the most significant problem is the lack of teachers in government schools of the area.
Locals urged the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to direct the concerned department to look into the issue at the earliest and increase the strength of the teaching staff in the government schools of Chenani’s far flung areas. |
