Stating that the State Government is continuously working to ensure quality school education in Haryana, the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said that 18,000 teachers will soon be recruited in the state government schools. “Out of this, 11,000 regular teachers will be recruited and 7,000 teachers will be recruited through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam,” said the Chief Minister, while addressing at a programme organized at Radhakrishnan Auditorium of Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak.
Khattar said that five lakh tablets have already been distributed to the students of Class X, XI, and XII, while 2.5 lakh more will be provided soon. “Haryana is the first state across the country to take this initiative. Now people not only from other states but also from abroad are commending this initiative and are moving forward to draft such schemes and implement them,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that the Haryana Government is strenuously working to ensure smart classrooms, dual desks, school buildings, school roads and clean toilets in schools. “For this, work is being done by the government in a phased manner. In the first phase two blocks of each district are selected,” he said adding that this work is being carried out by the same School Management Committee (SMC) in the respective school.
He said that the Government has made an online transfer policy for teachers, so that any teacher can take transfer according to their seniority.
Khattar said that imparting education is the biggest charity and we should educate ourselves and help those who are weak in studies. “For this, the Government is working to connect with retired teachers, retired government employees, and other interested people for this service. In this, the Government is working on the principle of Each One-Teach One. Every child in the age group of five to 18 years should get school education. There should not be any drop out in this age group,” he added.
The Chief Minister said that the Government has worked to convert 4,000 Anganwadis into playway schools so that children can get education through recreational activities. In addition, 500 model crèches have been opened for the children of working women. “Haryana Government has also started a Super-100 programme for the students. Under this programme, there are four schools in the State, out of which two schools are operational and other two will begin by the end of this year,” he said.
The results of two schools opened under the Super-100 programme have started giving outstanding results; the students are securing high ranks in NEET and other competitive examinations which is a matter of pride for us.
