Agartala, Jul 29, 2011 : Tripura government has made ‘additional attention’ to relatively poor performing students mandatory for the elementary level teachers in both government and non-government schools under Right to Education Act (REA).
Principal Secretary of education Banamali Sinha said that the state government had framed Rules under REA, which stressed upon continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) over the year to ensure quality education besides, generating interest among the students.
“Taking the spirit of REA we have prepared the academic calendar, which ensures 255 days classes in a year. Teachers were made responsible for holding additional classes for the poor learning students. If necessary they have to go to student’s house,” Sinha said.
He however, pointed out that the department had already delegated the teachers transfer power to District Education Officers for eradicating uneven and disproportionate distribution of teachers in the schools. Development of basic infrastructures including drinking water facilities and provisions of separate toilet for both boys and girls were also handed over to the DEO.
Teachers were also responsible for effective instruction, training and evaluation of the progress of pupils in the subjects assigned to the teacher and for the management of the class; Sinha said adding that the teachers have to participate in regular meetings with pupils’ parents or guardians.
According to the condition mandated by the Right to Education Bill, teachers who have completed the six-month abridged teachers’ training course will face problems because the bill has mandated full two years’ Bachelor of Education course for eligibility as a teacher.
In view of shortage of trained teachers in the state’s 4,393 schools, the government had, by a cabinet decision, introduced six-month abridged training course for serving teachers.
Many teachers who have completed the shorter period of training have also secured promotion to posts of headmasters and assistant headmasters but according to the bill’s condition they will be required to undergo full two-year training courses now.
