RTE-Comment

Hello,

 My best wishes to all implementing bodies which are contributing so hardworkingly, in the effortive directions of ,"RTE-RIGHT TO EDUCATION". My question here is, if at all this is an open forum to find solutions; that ---How is Governing body incharge for promulgating right Teacher:Student Ratio (I was shown, 1 teacher: 20 students) effectively seen monitored in every Government-run Primary School ? I have so far seen Teachers struggling with 55(Std 6th)-to-80(Std- 1st) students per unit division in a class in Mumbai Municipality Government-run Primary Schools.

 Visiting Officers, turn a blind-eye to that, rather than intervening and re-aligning the Teacher-Student Ratios to 1:20?....... Now, by RTE-ACT, 46--48 Hours Teaching per week added. Can you imagine, assume a 48-periods per week teach-schedule;  how much time is effected in Correcting Books of ( 80 Students)? A wild guess from my side is almost 1 hour per day per subject ,multiply it with 7-Core teaching Subjects; we get less 7 Hours . So subtracting 7-Hours, we get leftover 41-Hours. Dividing the answer by 7-subjects, we get 6 Hours left; and divide that with 6-days schedule; we get 1-hours leftover to complete 7 subjects work of  6hours-daily teacher duty hours.

 Added to this is planning for activities,projects,discussions,etc.....Zero is the answer, to the Teacher who is  forced to teach and attend to 80-students per-second per week. God save our Primary Teachers then who are already overburedened with quality manifesting or shall we say manufacturing diktats by the Headmistress and all other superior staff.!! Who will save these teachers, planning and action by officers is to be seen now ??
