Schools and Teachers are meant for Studies only

It's a very old habit of engaging Govt. school teachers into various activities like Census, voting (election), health programmes etc. This shows the little concern of the govt. towards education which should be otherwise given utmost priority. But unfortunately this doesn’t happen in India. That’s why its not surprising that we are in so pathetic conditions when it comes to education. The academic calender is already short in schools and we are running short of teachers also. If we’ll engage them into others activities than how the syllabus will be completed? The students will not have other option apart from taking private tuition. This will be extra financial burden on their parents. Even the school premises are used either as a rest house for police and para-millitary forces. It is also used for various election related activities. More even it also serves as a place for marriage ceremony and reception hall. All these thing shows how much serious we are towards education. Because it's the children who are the main sufferers. But who will be held accountable for these things? Teachers who are not interested are also forced into these activities on failing their wages are cut or even withheld. This is the reward we are giving to the teachers who helps in the shaping of country’s future. These things will have to be stopped as soon as possible. And all the good people has the responsibility to raise their voice against it.
