Despite the tall talks, huge budget allocations and an army of teachers appointed so far, the deployment and posting of teachers are not done systematically and impartially with the result the teaching community is not properly motivated and managed. There are teachers who are not at all duty-conscious. The students in the primary schools scattered all over the country especially in the interior pockets are unable to get regular teaching and coaching. The fate of students thus hangs in the air in view of automatic promotions assured to the children up to the fifth standard or even eight standard without any examination in many states.
Best Example:
Village Dokidih near Anda in Durg district of Chhattisgarh state: strength of students around 70. Two male teachers and one female teacher posted there but they never turn up on time to school with the result the the peon, a class four employee, Damanlal Sahu conducts the morning assembly of the children after cleaning the premises and gets them seated in their class rooms till the teachers arrive from their destinations - never on time as reported by children and the peon. When the correspondent of Central,Chronicle, a news daily from Raipur, questioned the deputy sarpanch Rewa Ram Chandrakar who resides just behind the school and other village heads but they all showed ignorance over the matter. No supervisor or inspector of the schools ever visited this school due to its location in the interior. That explains the reason for such a state of affairs.
