EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 4: While government is claiming that steps have been taken to provide adequate staff for the government schools, but these hollow claims get exposed in rural areas of the state.
One such glaring example is of Government Primary School of village Dub Sudan, Jhiri, near Akhnoor which is working under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA).The school is facing the scarcity of infrastructure and other basic facilities. For more than 30 students there are only two teachers.
The school have only two rooms including a class and a kitchen room for accommodating 29 students including 2 students of Kindergarten (KG), 9 students in 1st class, 5 each in 2nd , 3rd and 5th class and 3 students in 4th class. Students of all five classes and even the incharge headmaster with the master are forced by circumstances to sit
in just one room and there are no desks for the students. Due to this the students are made to sit on the floor even in these cold severe conditions.
“There are two masters for teaching five classes and one post is vacant. With this the strength of the school continues to decrease with each passing session because the parents do not want to send their children to this school without proper infrastructure and other
basic facilities”, said a local resident.
Locals alleged that besides the awful condition of the school they have to send their children in that school because they are financially not so sound to afford a private school for their children. It is pertinent to mention here that most of the students
belong to backward classes.
“Its very strange that when government give large advertisements in the newspapers highlighting their achievements, students in hundreds of rural schools don’t have enough infrastructure to study or teachers to guide them”, said Ram Lal, a resident of the area.
