A Great Move...

 

Recently the state government of Andhra Pradesh has  taken a decision to introduce CBSE English medium syllabus in government schools through out the state. I felt really happy after listening this news through one of the news channels..

 

This is really a welcoming decision because it’s not only giving English medium education to the poor but it also bridge the gap between the students who are studying in government schools and the corporate schools.

 

Now-a-days education become a business in Andhra Pradesh, of course not only in Andhra every where.. Today if u want to get a seat for ur kid in a corporate school u should keep at least 20 thousand rupees in ur pocket... The corporate schools collecting around 10-50 thousand rupees as a donation for kindergarten…now u can imagine how the situation is. Some corporate schools moving a step forward and conducting interviews for parents also. If they qualify in that interview then only they are giving admission… how pity it is?

 

But I’m still having my doubts how the government put this decision into action.. because the teachers in government schools only can teach in telugu medium because most of them have completed their graduation in telugu medium only..

 

So that the government having two options in front of them. one is hiring new teachers for CBSE syllabus by keeping all the existing staff. And the second one is giving training to the all existing staff in English medium. it’s not that much easy to do any one of these because if they hire new staff then what about the old ones, whether they can continue in their old post or not.. Suppose if they give training to the old ones we don’t know how much time it will take to train these many teachers. we just need to wait and see until it takes on action.

 

Any way the change should come in the education system. Otherwise in coming days the common man can not even think about the education in corporate schools (I mean, what we r thinking as a better education :-) :) )..

 

P.S: now-a-days some of the parents feeling that “it’s a status symbol to join kids in a school by paying more donation”...Apart from this no one is thinking “Is it really worth while or they r creating so much burden on kids by pushing them into a cage where they have to work beyond their ages..”

 

Dear parents, please think of it…
