JAMMU, Apr 19: Unchecked corruption in education system and frequent attachments of teachers flouting all the set norms, by the officials of Zonal Education Office (ZEO) Thathri under the protection of Chief Education Office (CEO) Doda have forced the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Doda Farooq Ahmed Khan to order closure of a Government High School Gosti in view of extreme decline in students enrolment from over 150 last year to just 26 at present.
Talking to this correspondent, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Doda said that as the students’ enrolment has very less, the closure of the school was ordered and directed adjustment of the teachers of the schools in other schools where staff is needed. He however, mentioned that when the adequate enrolments will be available in the school, it will be re-opened.
Admitting that the present enrolment in the said high school is just 26, Chief Education Officer (CEO) Doda, Y.R Thusoo said that the enrolment will increase. Interestingly, when asked about the teachers strength of the said school, CEO Doda who supervises the schools of entire District Doda gave wrong information, deliberately or misinformed, he himself knows better.
According to CEO, Doda, there were only three teachers in the said school who were earlier appointed under ReT pattern and later confirmed as general line teachers besides a Headmaster posted recently.
But the fact indicates something else, in the said school, so far five teachers were appointed under ReT pattern including one female as ReT third teacher and all five were later confirmed as general line teachers.
Owing to unchecked corruption, the teachers appointed as ReT third teacher was supposed to teach English in the school, but flouting all the set norms, she was attached to other school after paying some money as bribe at the Zonal Education Officer Thathri for which she was favored by CEO office Doda.
Not only she, there was another teacher namely, Dileep Singh who was appointed first as ReT teacher in the said school and later got confirmed after five years was also enjoying choice attachment on paying regular bribe money at the ZEO office.
Relevant to mention here that any one appointed as ReT teacher cannot be attached or transferred even after confirmation till, he or she gets promotion, but the education system in Doda district works otherwise and only corruption rules.
Due to frequent attachments, and shortage of staff in the school, the parents started getting discharge certificates of their wards and started admitting them in other schools, with the result, the enrolment fell down to just 26 and finally DC had no other option but to order closure of the said school.
After investing huge money to take this school to the level of High School by providing infrastructure and other requirements, the Education Deptt officials are responsible for the closure of the school, as if they would have not attached the teachers, the school would have not shown decline in quality education and enrolments.
This reporter has some proofs against the Zonal Education Office (ZEO) Thathri which clearly says how the norms are being thrown to winds thus making a mockery of education system.
According to the documents available, one Nazia Baby who was appointed as ReT third for Government Middle School Gosti was attached by the ZEO Thathri, which is against the norms and rules. When the hue and cry was made by the parents, the ZEO office issued a latter which itself confirms that the said teacher was attached.
According to the latter, the said teacher submitted her joining report in compliance to ZEO Thathri vide his order number ZEO/T/Esh/1869-71 dated 8-03-06 and Headmaster High School Chiralla, reliving order No- HSC-111-112 DATED 02-06-2006. She submitted her joining on 5-6-2006 to Head Master Govt Middle School Goesti, while Head Master High School Chiralla relived her on 02-06-06 A.N from her duties vide ZEO’S no ZEO/T/ESH/1869/71 DATED 08-03-06.
Worth mentioning here that CEO Doda, in a latter number 4236 of 19-05-06 addressed to Headmaster Govt High School Chiralla ordered the detachment of 3RD teacher from Govt High School Chiralla To Middle School Gosti With In 2 Days……as third teacher was meant for their own school. But till date she has not joined the said school and has managed her adjustment/attachment in another school, while she was bound to perform her duties in Govt High School Gosti.
The attachments are frequent in the villages of Doda district under a name need basis. another document say that one ReT teacher of Govt Middle School Bajja, namely Ahjaz Hussain was relieved of his duty on 18-05-06 from GMS Bajja and was directed to report GMS Gosti under order no-GMS/B/05/15-16, dated 18/05/06.
According to ZEO Thathri No- ZEO/T/ESTT/149-50 DATED 15-5-2006, ReT Teacher Ajaz Ahmed was directed to report Headmaster Govt Middle School Gosti for further duties internally.
These orders clearly indicated that the attachments which are banned and against the norms are being done in the Doda district. There is an old deep rooted nexus of corrupt clerks, which is active in ZEO and CEO offices and proving hindrance in the way to state government in its resolve to improve educations system in the Government schools.
Now, as the Chief Minister (CM), Omar Abdullah, himself is holding the charge of Education Department, some sort of drastic changes are expected to root out the nexus of corrupt people in education system otherwise, like Govt High School Gosti, other schools will have to be closed sooner or later.
Talking to TNI, Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Shamsher Singh Manhas said that there are many such places where there is acute need to open educational institute owing the favoritism the concern the authorities open unnecessarily school.
He further said that the government should keep check on such establishments so that the every child gets equal education.
