IRRESPONSIBLE ACTS
It was at all surprising to know that the
Ministry of Education (MoE) and Janak Siksha Samagri Kendra (JSSK) have again
failed to supply the school books on time (“Govt fails to deliver again;
schools begin sans books” 14 April, Page 1). Most of the public schools in
the rural and remote areas fall victim to irresponsibility of the concerned
authorities. As a result, the public school students lag behind in their
studies. The Minister of Education had publicly announced that the books would
reach all public schools before the beginning of the new academic year. It has
turned out to be a lie.
This situation will continue to arise until
the JSSK prepares its working calendar and sticks to it. If possible, JSSK needs
to decentralise its current printing works at the regional level or it should
engage more private printing agencies to print the required number of text
books so that all students have books in their hands well in advance of their
new session.
