| Harshdev pooh-poohs Peerzada , asks for self introspection | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 03- Ridiculing the statement of Education Minister Peerzada Mohammed Sayed holding the teachers solely responsible for the poor pass percentage in various schools and announcing to demote and prematurely retire the teachers in the affected schools, the former Minister and JKNPP MLA Harshdev Singh said that rather than shifting the entire blame to teachers, the minister should do a bit of self introspection and critically study the working of the department so as to ascertain the reasons for poor pass percentage. He said that, no doubt, in certain cases the fault could lie with the teachers but primarily the factors responsible for poor performance had been blatantly disregarded and did not receive the focused attention of the government.
Pointing towards the sad plight of government schools, Singh said that acute staff deficiency particularly in the remote area schools coupled with poor infrastructure and negligible facilities in the form of laboratories and equipments were predominately responsible for the malaise. H said that the government had resorted to wholesale
attachments of teachers with extraneous considerations which had made the rural and remote area schools almost defunct. He said that there were instances where rural area schools did not have even ten percent of the sanctioned strength with hardly any Science or lab equipment to provide practical training to the students. He said there were cases
where hundred percent vacancies existed in schools with the government giving a deaf ear to the public out cries to provide the much-needed staff.
Giving particular instances, Harshdev pointed out that more than a dozen High and Higher Secondary Schools in his constituency had not been provided even a single lecturer or master grade for the last three years and hundred percent vacancies existed in such schools including HSS Khaned, HSS Marta, HSS Thial, HS Chigla Balota, HS Badhole, HS Bagodh, HS Kakari besides other. He said the situation was the same in all others remote areas and constituencies facing acute shortage of staff.

He said under such circumstances, teachers could not be made scapegoat for the failures of the government and especially in a situation where more than 15000 posts of teachers were lying vacant in various educational institutions of the state.
