Dear Shri Dharmendra Pradhanji
( Minister for
Education / minister.sm@gov.in )
As recently
observed by Hon CJI, it is easy to criticize Government and Supreme Court for
anything and everything
Then,
once-in-a-while, some persons ( with or without DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE ), would tell
the government :
Do this and do that
May be they have no
clue as to the COST of implementing their suggestions
You cannot blame
them. It is Government’s job to “ educate “ them , with facts and figures (
implications )
As far as the cost
of improvement in EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE is concerned, you might want to
examine the following :
QUESTIONNAIRE ( 01 May 1984 )
After updating this with the
latest data / figures ( and expanding it with some more / relevant topics ),
you may want to publish it on the website of your Ministry and invite comments
from public / educationists
with regards,

Schools
without Teachers ?
Not quite, but
quite close !
Context :
1 lakh schools in India run with
just 1 teacher each: Unesco Report
/
TNN / 06 Oct 2021
Extract :
Ø Around 1.1
lakh schools in India are single-teacher
entities
Ø A total of
19% or 11.16 lakh teaching positions
in schools lie vacant
in
the country , 69 % of them in rural areas
Ø 7.7%
pre-primary, 4.6% primary and 3.3 %
upper primary teachers are under-qualified
Ø Women account for
50 % of the teaching work-force in India
Ø State-wise
teacher vacancies : UP .. 3.3
lakh / Bihar.. 2.2 lakh / W.Bengal.. 1.1 lakh
Ø MP has the highest no of Single Teacher schools at
21,077
Ø There is a marked Rural – Urban disparity and
a need to improve AVAILABILITY and deployment of QUALIFIED teachers in the North-East
Ø Of the teachers qualifications, the UNESCO Report says about 16 % of Pre-Primary,
8 % of Primary , 13 % of Upper Primary , 3 % of Secondary and 1 % of Higher
Secondary teachers , are under-qualified in
Bihar
Ø While teacher availability has improved, Pupil–Teacher
ratios, are adverse in secondary schools
My Take :
In case, readers are wondering :
“ How much progress has our
Education System made over past 36 years ? “
Then they may want to look up following report submitted to :
