IRRESPONSIBLE ACTS

It was at all surprising to know that the Ministry of Education (MoE) and Janak Siksha Samagri Kendra (JSSK) have again failed to supply the school books on time (“Govt fails to deliver again; schools begin sans books” 14 April, Page 1). Most of the public schools in the rural and remote areas fall victim to irresponsibility of the concerned authorities. As a result, the public school students lag behind in their studies. The Minister of Education had publicly announced that the books would reach all public schools before the beginning of the new academic year. It has turned out to be a lie.

This situation will continue to arise until the JSSK prepares its working calendar and sticks to it. If possible, JSSK needs to decentralise its current printing works at the regional level or it should engage more private printing agencies to print the required number of text books so that all students have books in their hands well in advance of their new session.
