Govt schools getting better but need to improve further'

June 18, 2011

Mangalore, June 18: Sarvashikshana Abhiyana, which was started in the year 2000 by central government, has succeeded in promoting government institutions by providing all the basic necessities like, well equipped class room, recruiting all the vacant post, toilet facility, uniform, books etc. said MLA Abhay Chandra Jain.

While presenting the report of Sarvasikshana Abhiyana of the past ten years he said that Rs. 13.56 crores was sanctioned by central government under this project. From 2001 to 2011, construction (repair) of 560 school building has taken place with total amount of Rs. 7.41 crores. While total of 136 government schools are functioning within the Mangalore Taluk, out of 885 vacancies 846 teacher posts have been filled. He also said that 123 physically handicapped students who were unable to attend the classes have been educated at their home by appointed tutors.

However he admitted that government schools have failed to meet the quality of education compared to private schools.

Appreciating the achievement of Sarvashikshana Abhiyana, Yogish Bhat, Deputy Speaker, Karnataka, said that the condition of government schools today are far better than compared to schools of 10 years ago as they have provided all the basic necessities, conducted extra curricular activities, and identified the hidden talents in each child. Due to kannada as the mediumof instruction and lack of laboratory and computer class rooms, parents are getting more attracted toward private schools. As a result, there was a 7% dip in the number of students admitted in the schools in 2010 compared to 2009.

District in charge Minister, Krishna J Palemar, MLA U T Khader and Rajeshwari were present at the meet.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.
