| Education Department in complete disarray: Harsh | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 6: The National Panthers Party (NPP) MLA and former education minister, Harsh Dev Singh has flayed the state government for the alleged chaos, red tape, corruption and misgovernance in education sector in the state.
He said department was in total disarray with complete collapse of education edifice. Alleging total breakdown of education set up in the State, he said that the educational activity had become the major causality of bureaucratic red tape and official negligence resulting in the failure of state as well as centrally sponsored schemes.Claiming that thousands of govt. schools were facing acute deficiency of teaching staff with govt. maintaining a criminal silence over the issue, he said that the remote area schools were the major sufferers and had almost become defunct due to staff paucity and non availability of teaching faculty.
He said that the government had itself admitted in the meeting of Project Appraisal Board (PAB) held in New Delhi in June 2011 that 13020 posts of teachers were vacant at the elementary level itself with 8104 vacancies in Upper Primary schools and 4916 vacancies in Primary schools.
He said apart from these more than 12000 vacancies of Masters, Head Masters and Lecturers were available at Secondary level including High and Higher secondary schools thus taking the total number of vacancies to around 25,000.
He said the vacancies included around 5000 posts of Masters sanctioned for the state under RMSA during the last three years none of which had been filled up.
He said that the figures proved the shortage of at least 40% of the total teaching staff required in educational institutions of the state. He strongly condemned the withholding of the selection lists of RETs who had applied during 2010 and 2011 for ulterior motives and extraneous considerations at various levels by the Educations Deptt without bothering for the damage being done to the institutions. He decried in particular the total failure of the govt. to launch RMSA (Rashtriya Madhamik Shiksha Abhiyan) in the state which though was started all over the country in 2008. He said that RMSA was the most ambitious project of GOI, which if implemented in proper perspective, had the potential to transform the entire secondary system of education.
Singh said that the state of affairs being most melancholic and extremely sad, the indulgence of the governor into the large scale lapses, omissions and red tape of govt. functionaries was paramount. |
