Govt schools get target to increase student enrolment

Ludhiana: The deputy state mission director, Punjab, has urged the federal government high colleges to extend pupil enrolment by means of 20% in the rural spaces and 30-35% in the urban spaces for 2019-20 consultation.
Subhash Mahajan, deputy state mission director (SSA), Punjab, along with district schooling officer (secondary) Swaranjit Kaur and deputy district schooling officer Ashish Sharma held a gathering with in-charges of 153 government high colleges at Khalsa Girls Senior Secondary School, Civil Lines.

Officials have given a week to the colleges to succeed in the target and would conduct another meeting on April 23 to study the situation.

Though teachers raised problems with scarcity of teachers and infrastructure in colleges all through the meeting, officials cited the ones colleges with high student-teacher ratio. They said a central authority faculty at Brahmpura has 39 students and five teachers and another government faculty has 79 students with eight teachers.

A teacher of the GHS at Raikot said, “Out of 210 students, 20 have left the varsity. And eight students have shifted to a private faculty which has were given higher infrastructure.”


Terming it as an excuse, Subhash Mahajan said, “One teacher sought staff even if there have been no students in the faculty. “Teachers wish to have conversation skills to convince parents to send their wards to government colleges.”


He said, “Teachers of government colleges frequently get a hold of excuses like private colleges spend more on infrastructure.”


While lots of the teachers blamed non-availability of Aadhaar card from students, officials made it clear that no Aadhaar card is needed to take admission in government colleges. Teachers said they've started a door-to-door pressure to extend enrolment in government colleges.
