Dear teachers, Private schools often do publicity for getting enrolment. Even though in many cases, private school teachers are not qualified as required by RTE, infrastructure is poor, teachers are poorly paid, academic facilities are poor, parents are sometimes misled by this publicity. Also media is guilty of mostly only sharing bad news about Government schools and creating a negative impression and making parents wrongly believe that private schools are always better than Government schools.
Education Research says that when we allow for the home support and home conditions, the quality of private schools is not better than that of Government schools. In fact, with qualified teachers, regular teacher training, good infrastructure, many Govt schools are far ahead of their private counterparts. It is therefore necessary to publicise the good work being done by the Government schools so that parents have the full facts with them at the time of seeking admission for their children. It is necessary to correct the popular mis-conceptions about government schools. A strong public education system is necessary for equity and quality reasons. Some of the high schools in Bengaluru South 3 block have prepared simple banners providing information about the school, its infrastructure, staff, programs etc. Similar banners could be easily produced by any school, providing *correct information* about the school, so that parents have the required information. HMs should plan this in consultation with their staff and SDMC. For the Bengaluru South 3 banners, visit https://goo.gl/photos/CLFxmmELEr7TNZ3a6 (This is on the lines of the 'Save Government Schools' campaign being launched by many organisations in Karnataka). regards Guru IT for Change, Bengaluru www.ITforChange.net -- 1.
