Education free zone

The rally, which was taken out today for making education free zone, under the sponsorship of DESAM, will go a long way in making all concerned realise the hindrances that stand in the speedy promotion of education in Manipur. Some see education as money minting ground, others for exploiting the hapless groups of people, who take up teaching profession. Primary level, junior level education has become very costly affair in Manipur. The absence of Government schools has compelled poor parents to send their children to private schools. A young widow, when she is asked to react about the killing of her husband, say loudly I will not be able to care up my three children without my husband, who is no more. She knows she will not be able to send her children to private schools, which charge escalated fee. Primary level education cannot be left at the mercy of private schools. There should be healthy competition between Government and private schools. Government teachers, who shirk duty must be punished. There are large numbers of teachers, who draw pay without doing anything. If all these shirking Government teachers are fed to private schools while giving pay by Government will the private schools agree to cut down the admission and monthly fees? Private school owners will check the performance of the Government and they in turn will render the service for which they are appointed. Well clad Government school teachers enter dilapidated school buildings, which are kept neglected by the authority. Matching with the condition of the school buildings very few students all poorly clad come to the school. Surely the teachers might be finding awkward to lecture on them. A system needs to be found to ensure that primary level education does not reach the scale of unaffordable. Food security bill and various other schemes introduced by the government are for extending help to the needy people. Then there is RTE. How will poor parents get the benefit of RTE, when there are no properly functioning Government schools in the state capital? In the remote areas the Government schools might be seeing the good turnout of students. Unless policies are introduced to make education vibrant and kicking Manipur will land in a precarious condition in future. It is a serious matter, which should be looked into by the highest authority of the land.
