Education reforms revolution in India is the NEED
of the hour.
1. Allocate & increase upto
25% budget to education.
2. STOP census duty, election
duty and polio duty for teachers. Teachers will never miss classes due to other
government activities. Additional government work can be done by so many
unemployed youth by outsourcing through them.
3. Give zero-collateral loans for
college education up to 10 lakhs. No collateral needed, if you live and study
in the Gujarat state, then you are eligible, that is it. The loan should cover
tuition fee, books, laptop, equipment, hostel fee, mess fee etc.
4. Give School Principals the
power to appoint Cleanliness Manager at a appropriate salary upto Rs 25000 per
month. He/she has responsibility get the school cleaned in & out and upload
pictures/videos daily on an app. Implications of this app are that every
morning one can know the exact no. of malfunctioning school toilets, the exact
no. of out of order tube lights across all government and aided schools etc.
5. Have private school refunding
fees on a state wide scale. Most of private schools increase fee 10% every year.
6. Arrange teacher training from
IIMA or equivalent for teacher training.
7. Provide Tablet/laptop for each
teacher. This will save the time of data entry and take attendance and other
administrative and communication work, also the parent will receive SMS by
lunchtime if kid absent from the school. Audio visual presentation and teaching
cane be practiced.
9. Give Principals total autonomy
for hiring replacements for teachers who have gone on long leave. No need to
send any file for approval to ministry.
10.Give privileges to contract
teachers also-
·
Fixed monthly
pays (50–60% salary hike)
·
No more
firing-> selection -> rehiring cycle at the end of EACH academic year
·
As many casual
leaves as regular teachers, earlier they had no leaves.
·
Experience
certificates just like regular teachers
11.Plan for a CCTV camera in every classroom of all
schools. Surprisingly every stakeholder wants it there!
·
Principals want
it to ensure punctuality of teachers.
·
Teachers want it
as it results in students in being self-disciplined.
·
Students want it
as the rowdy behaviour of theft/violence stop due to it.
12. Accord the same respect to teachers as soldiers.
Rs 1 Crore for Stabbed Teacher’s Family. Believe that teachers are as important
to India’s future as soldiers. Same *1 crore* rule is applicable to any citizen
belonging to Army, BSF, CRPF, CISF, NIA, NDMC, MCD, Police, Fire Fighters.
13. Remove the most atrocious private school policy –
criteria for nursery admission.
14. Do video recording of Nursery
admission Lottery. Earlier schools were totally operating without any
restriction.
15. Stop fancy & costly
admission prospectuses. No school can charge more than 25/- for any registration.
Want to give 100-page fancy prospectus with glossy pages, now give it for free!
16.Take over a private school by
force If any malpractices found in school administration and management
17. Remove of management quota
from school admission.
18. Set up model schools which
will pave roadmap to ultimate goal – *“Making govt schools better than or equal
to private schools”*
19. Display no. of illiterate
students publicly. Isn’t it horrifying that 74% of Class 6th kids can’t read
their own book. Establish a public
dashboard in each school with data on how many kids cannot recognise
characters, can recognise characters, can read words, paragraphs, stories,
complex stories.
20. Identify and create a batch
of “teacher’s teacher” on education trip to best institutes.
21.Class Room strength to be
hiked by 50% in 2yrs, with the aim is to ensure that 30 students maximum in
each classroom.
22. All schools to be whitewashed
during summer vacation on a compulsory basis. Budget and approval allocated for
total revamp of infrastructure across all schools.
23. All staff rooms to get a
face lift to ensure a welcoming ambience for teachers – high-quality tables and
chairs, tea/coffee vending machines, clean toilets.
