According to the sources, each institution has been asked to maintain a monthly log which will be submitted to concerned Chief Education Officer (CEO) for checks so that discipline in maintained in the institutions which is the major concern for the falling standard of education in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The step has been taken after a detailed inspection we found that in number of cases head of the institute was not taking his job seriously. This also encourages teachers to skip their work”, said CEO Jammu Natha Ram.
Sharma said that all the 14 zones in the state have been directed to adhere to the new directive and necessary action will be taken in case they are not followed properly.
Officials said that concerned with the falling standard in the government run institutions, government has also directed that teachers those teaching students in 5th class to 10th class should maintain a lesson diary of each day which will be checked by a team constituted by the state government in respective zones recently.
It is pertinent to mention here that Education Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed had recently convened a meeting of the zonal education officers and other concerned officials and had shown concern over the poor performance of the Government schools even after spending crores on them under various central and state schemes.
“There is a general opinion among the people that government teachers never show interest in schools and that is one of the reason people avoid sending their wards to them. We have to change this feeling”, said Ram.
There are nearly 15,000 schools in Jammu and Kashmir which includes primary schools, elementary schools, secondary schools and senior secondary schools.
Apart from this, government has also started to send notices to the teachers whose performance during the just announced 8th standard result was below expectation.
