Diphu, Jan. 6 (EMN): The Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) felicitated teachers of 37 schools securing A+ grade from the Gunotsav result, which was conducted in the two hills districts of Karbi Anglong in the year 2017.
West Karbi Anglong, a total of 741 schools was covered in the first phase, while Karbi Anglong district with a total of 1,300 schools were covered in the second phase of the Gunotsav.
The felicitation function was held at Joysing Doloi Auditorium in Diphu on Sat.
In Assam the Gunotsav was conducted in 20 districts including the two districts of Karbi Anglong for determining the ability of child’s learning and other co-scholastic activities in schools. It also sees to the availability of infrastructures and other requirements needed in schools.
Morakorduiguri Assamese LP School, Morakordoiguri under Hanjanglangso cluster secured the top scoring from the 37 schools securing A+ grade.
The teachers of the 37 schools were handed a certificate, trophy and -Karbi traditional turban.
Chief Executive Member (CEM), KAAC Tuliram Ronghang in his speech said that there is nothing to boast about the result of Gunotsav as the district is at the bottom and needs to work harder by teachers, students and parents in bringing the education of the district to higher level.
In order to improve the education system of the district the foundation level i.e. primary level should be made strong and for that the responsibility lies with the general public including teachers, parents and guardians and students, Ronghang said.
With an aim to give a facelift in the education of the district teachers transfer and posting will be made. During the transfer and posting any teachers posted at any school either in remote or plain areas should follow strictly and those teachers not complying with the orders, strict action will be taken against them, the CEM said.
To build up incentive in teaching, salaries of the teachers will be hiked, Ronghang said.
Executive Member (EM) for Higher Education, KAAC Jagatsing Engti said teachers of government schools are better in terms of teaching and amount of salaries compared to private schools. The teachers of private schools get a meager amount of salaries, but in result the performance of private schools are much better than government schools, which needs to be examined.
More infrastructures will be given to all government schools inorder to improve the performance in education, Engti said. He also said that for enumeration of census duties teachers should not be engaged so that they don’t skip off from attending schools.
By engaging teachers in census duties students incur heavy lost as their lessons are not completed at the end of the year, he expressed.
Morakorduiguri Assamese LP School, who secured the highest score from the 37 schools scoring A+ grade in the Gunotsav is located in the remote place bordering Karbi Anglong and Golaghat district. The school scored 97.86 marks out of 100. The headmistress of the school Niharika Boruah said: “My school is located in the remote place very close to Golaghat border. There are 33 students. There some people wanting to convert the school into English medium, but I objected as it needs to preserve the Assamese language which is the state’s official language. School should be treated as a temple by keeping it clean and imparting education with utmost sincerity and dedication.”
