8-point plan to improve education

The new district superintendent of education (DSE) in Gumla has directed all area officers and block education extension officers to ensure implementation of an eight-point plan for quality education in government primary and middle schools.

The eight-point plan lays down strict guidelines for teachers. Teachers will have to reach school by 9.30 am and will leave after 4pm.

Classes will start from 10.10am and teachers have to prepare lesson plan.

Special classes on Hindi, English, Mathematics and Science will be taken four days a week while Hindi and English grammar will be taught every Saturday. Debate, quiz, music, dance and painting will be held during rest period on Saturdays.

School premises will be cleaned by members of Bal Sansad everyday between 9 am and 10 am and after morning prayer. Read newspapers will also be compulsory. Every school has to conduct monthly test on every fourth Saturday of a month. "The objective is to improve teaching environment in government schools," where about 90% students, mostly poor, study," said DSE Sachchidanand D Tigga.

Tigga said action will be taken against officers who fail to monitor implementation of the guidelines.

"Some members of the teachers' association were trying to run the school in their own way (but) when they met me, I shooed them away," the DSE said, adding that he would monitor the entire process.
