Everybody knows that the quality of education of Government schools is not up to the mark. The Government recently announced a series of reforms aiming at maintaining its goodwill which involved punishing teachers who are on unauthorized absence, providing toilets to all Government schools, introduction of computers etc. But it is still not known how efficient Government schools currently are. Do you think the quality of Government schools has become better or worsened? :blink:

Recently there was a report about government schools having no proper toilet facilities and the teachers and students had to go into the nearby woods where there were wild cats and foxes which made them very frightened. the MLA concerned of course gave the standard response 'we will look into it ...


it seems everyone is complaining about bathrooms :blink:

i think, it's not an issue in Kerala schools. here, all people including low class want their kids to study in English medium.
that's why such public schools are 'endangered'


Kerala being a very small state such a thing may be possible but I have read reports saying that even there, there is a problem with lack of toilets in cities like Cochin and Calicut...this is there everywhere in our country, the statistics being different to different states..


The toilets are the most neglected aspect in India, sanitation facilities are not at all considered important, the attitude is just go wherever you can and that is why women especially face a lot of problems while travelling. I find it really really shameful. So the same state of affairs exist in schools as well, not surprising at all.

In AP a market yard as encroached into a school premises an it has become impossible for the students to study. And the authorities are seeing the fun. An incompetent lot.

Most of the Government schools are in worst condition. But very few of those have been brought up to god condition by few volunteers, alumnis and Non Governmental Organizations.
The greatest road-block to any efforts on the part of the government is the sense of security that a government job entails. You look at any institution which enjoys state patronage and see the state of affairs - all are the same! Insensitivity, arrogance and indolence are the common attributes which dominate the characters of all officials.
To tell you frankly seeing the condition of Government School and Teachers their it is worse then Private school. Every one prefer to send their children to Private school
They may have increased these standard but they are still not good if we compare them with private schools they lack facilities and good teachers. Government is trying to improve and raise their standard but still there is something missing or lacking in the efforts. :blink:
In anything any kind of change may occur but for government school there will be no change in their studies.

No there has been lots of changes in government schools but still they are still very much behind private schools. I think the gap in private and government schools is very wide and it seams that it can't be reduced so easily. :evil:

Yes, Always there is a gap between the private and government schools because of the management. Its just look like a gap between poor and rich.

Above all lack of accountability and "Who cares " attitude.

Its a common attitude in our government sector Rambabuji which leads to the poor quality of literates in all over India which is an obstacle in the development of our country.

So what we actually need is a iron fist to improve things...unless there is someone constantly monitoring nothing seems to work anywhere in India,people simply lack professionalism and discipline in work places..

But that gap is surely is increasing day by day government must try to reduce that gap by their own ways. :)

I can say, The quality of Government schools is not good. It is becoming worst now-a-days. Instead of discussing good or bad, Let us discuss how to improve and make good.
Robert improving means, every class should have one teacher. Instead of mother tongue, they should make it english medium. then most of the government schools get a good name

Sarala mam, teaching in english will never improve the quality of government schools. We can teach english as a secondary language.

But i agree with you about the teacher recommendation. Also the class has to be regulated by having only 20 to 30 students not more than that.

Sarala. I have a doubt. How can you say the quality is so good if the medium of instruction is English? Countries like China have mother tongue as medium of instruction.
Robert, I dont know about china and all. Just see the English medium privates school children are very qualitative. but the government school no teacher, no proper education.

You can say private school. But I cant accept English medium is good. Regardless of the medium of instruction, Well equipped teachers and infra structures are needed for obtaining quality education.

Also we need a revised well formed syllabus for the students. Also we need to improve the hospitality in government schools.

Most of the IAS officers are from Government schools. Their medium instruction was Tamil (from Tamilnadu) or their mother tongue only.
