Concerned with the worsening state of education in government institutions in the Darjeeling hills, the GJM’s student wing, Gorkha Janmukti Vidhyarthi Morcha (GJVM), is gearing up to impart teaching tips to teachers.
The GJVM is planning visits to government schools across the hills in its bid to upgrade the quality of education at the primary level. Talking to media persons today, GJVM central committee member and Kurseong branch president Sonam Lama said the organisation is not blaming the teachers for the decline in education. “All of us are acquainted with the fact that almost all parents, irrespective of their financial capacity, send their wards to private schools for better education,” Lama said.
The gJVM leader added: “There could be myriad reasons for government-run primary schools in the hills to gradually lose their capabilities. This must be stopped. The government schools must be revived so that the financially weaker sections of society get encouraged to sends their wards to such schools.” He also noted that although private school teachers get lower salaries in comparison to their government counterparts, the system of management in government schools lacks the quality private schools provide. “Hence, to promote quality education, we have plans to host awareness programmes on education in government schools across the hills,” informed Lama.
Lama said the GJVM is hopeful of succeeding, especially by roping in newly recruited primary teachers as they are fresh and enthusiastic. “With their help, we can uplift the level of education in government run primary schools,” said the GJVM leader, while informing the organisation will form volunteer groups to launch its school visit mission.
