The state of affairs in Government-run schools is causing confusion to everyone. With the new academic year fast approaching, many teachers and parents are worried about the introduction of CBSE syllabus and English as medium of instruction.
‘‘The State Government has not taken appropriate measures to familiarise the teaching staff to English language teaching. Five-day training classes were conducted for namesake without any seriousness,’’ Chukka Ramaiah, MLC, said at a press conference at the AP United Teachers Federation (UTF) office here on Monday.
Welcoming the Government’s decision to introduce English education, he pointed out that the move would make the learning process more difficult for the students. Ramaiah criticised the Government’s decision to cut short the number of schools to 6,500 from the existing 10,500 schools.
‘‘Many teachers in the districts are concerned about the move to introduce CBSE curriculum,’’ UTF General Secretary N Narayana said. K Nageswar, MLC, said only the Chief Minister is keen on introducing CBSE, whereas most of the teachers whom they spoke to are not enthusiastic about the move. However, clarifying the doubts CBS Venkata Ramana, Principal Secretary to the Government, maintained that they are not closing down any school.
‘‘Classes till fifth, in all schools, would function normally. At the same time, some identified schools would be merged with the nearest schools avoiding any inconvenience to the students. The schools will be ‘rationalised’ in such a manner that there would be a school for every 5 sq km,’’ he said.
