Primary education in Chhattisgarh had been suffering as teachers do not want to go and work in far-flung and interior parts of the State, School Education Minister Kedar Kashyap said on Sunday.
‘It is necessary to find a solution for this problem and attempts must be made for improving the quality of education in Government schools, ‘he said at the concluding ceremony of the national symposium on “Present Education System: Challenges and Solution” jointly organised by Kushabhau Thakre University of Journalism and Mass Communication (KTUJM), Pt Ravi Shankar Shukla University (Pt RSU) and Education, Culture Promotion Trust, New Delhi. He said that the current year would be celebrated as ‘Quality Education Year’.
Kashyap said that lack of teachers was hampering quality of education in Chhattisgarh. Atul Kothari of Education, Culture Promotion Trust said that for success of big programs, participation is
necessary. We will have to do ground work for improving the education system which has to begin from self because the first centre of education is home, then school and third society , he said. Kothari stressed that educational institutions must have affinity towards the society. Vice Chancellor of KTUJM Dr Sachchidanand Joshi said the outcome of discussion should be carried to colleges and universities.
