Manipur Alliance for Child Rights organize a workshop on Education on the 27th of September 2009 at Hotel Nirmala at 11:00 am. A research report on ‘Situational analysis of education of children in Government School’ and a status report on primary school education in Manipur was also released.
Ex – Principle DM college of Teachers Education, Ex – Executive member Indian association of Teachers’ educator and presently member of Eastern Regional committee - National council for Teachers education (NCTE) graced the function as Chief Guest & President respectively.
The finding of the research study concluded that there is an urgent need to strengthen the existing Government Schools as the present condition of the government schools in the sample district is deteriorating. The present condition might be due to improper planning of the State Education Department.
The sample schools’ infrastructure were not satisfactory. There is a big discrepancy of 276 as the number of 203 rooms in working condition in the data and the estimated required rooms of the schools 479. Majority of rooms were in need of major repairing. There are 54% of toiletry facility which out of, 74.7% in bad condition but conditionally used. The remaining items like fencing, drinking water etc are in pathetic condition.
On the day of data collection, the students attendance and teachers strength of the schools’ ratio were 1 teacher : 3 students. The attendance of students in the schools were very less in compared with the number of students enrollment in the register. The facility of mid day meal and SSA in the schools were not proportionate and managed.
86.78 % of student were appeared examination and 14.66% of student were drop out. There were not found any follow up action from the schools.
Majority of the students did not feel satisfied about the infrastructures, academic quality and extra curricular activities of the schools.
Parents and Gurdians were also not satisfied about the schools’ management system in relation with all the schools activities. Most of them wanted to shift their children to a better private schools but it was out of their capacity since those are just one day bread earners.
The reasons of the deteriorating government schools might be no education policy of state, the present existing school code is not functioning well. The ZEO’s monitoring and evaluation system might not be transparent and sincere. Education related departments like Social Welfare, Tribal Welfare and Education Departments were not found proper coordination and linkages. There is not seen any political commitment and initiative for education policy of the state.
