Hopes pinned on RMSA; Govt schools san basic facilities; even libraries are missing


Nitesh Sangral

JAMMU: School Education-which is essential for the development of any society as a whole is considered as a fundamental right of the children of the society. It should be on the top priority of the government’s agenda particularly the state governments. The situation of school education in Jammu region is not up to the mark in many aspects. The library which is considered as the store house of knowledge and pre-requisite in all the schools, is horrifically missing in all the schools.

 Even if it exist in some of the schools then its state is worst than worse. As per prescribed norms, every school must be provided with the library, laboratory and proper play ground for the overall development of the adolescent students. Even many schools are without the facilities of water and electricity. But many schools in the length and breadth of the region are without these basic facilities.

In these circumstances how can one think of competing with the students of other reputed private institutes of the state? As far as the situation of the providing facilities to the government schools, it remained a neglected part of the successive state governments of the state.

Chief Education Officer (CEO) Jammu Natha Ram Digra said that there were about 1500 schools in district Jammu alone. Digra said that from this year onwards, we had implemented Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) for High Schools and Higher Secondary Schools on the pattern of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). Under this scheme, each and every facility such as library, laboratory even staff, required in the schools would be provided, added Natha Ram Digra.

 He also said that work on implementing this scheme was going on fast track. Director, School Education Jammu region Zahida Khan said that there were thousands of schools in Jammu region. She said that though there were deficiencies of basic facilities in some of the schools. The department is doing its best to mitigate the problems being faced by the students; condition has improved a lot as compared to the previous years.
