The School Education Department is holding block-level primary school games but in a few schools, teachers have been told to contribute money for it. For instance, in Malout block of Muktsar district, primary teachers have reportedly been told to give Rs 100 each, head teachers to give Rs 300 each and centre head teachers to give Rs 1,000 each. A centre head teacher is one who looks after four-five schools.
The situation is same in neighbouring Bathinda district, where the teachers have reportedly been told to contribute Rs 300 each.
A primary schoolteacher of Muktsar district told The Tribune, “It is an unethical practice to collect money from teachers to hold the games. Further, the facilities provided to the students never match the funds procured from the teachers. We are always told to contribute money for the games, but the orders never come in writing.”
Similarly, a teacher posted in Bathinda district said, “Four teachers in our school paid Rs 1,200 in total. Nearly 25 students of our school are participating in the games. It means each student should get refreshment and other facilities worth Rs 48, but officials usually provide food just like the mid-day meal.” Top 10 cbse schools list in Kumbakonam
Notably, the primary games are to be organised from September 23 to 25.
When asked, Baljit Kumar, Muktsar District Education Officer (DEO), Primary, said “Such practice existed in the past but now the department provides funds, thus the money should not be collected from teachers. I will ask the officials concerned.”
However, some government primary school teachers claimed that the situation was same almost everywhere in the state and the contribution money was fixed at the district-level, thus it varies in all districts.

The department officials usually provide food just like the mid-day meal given in routine. Sports committees are formed to hold the games, but no one is accountable to give a report of money utilisation. —A teacher posted in Bathinda district

Enjoy a high-quality, future-ready education - Best School Kumbakonam

Enjoy a high-quality, future-ready education - Best School Kumbakonam Top 10 cbse schools list in Kumbakonam The international community has been much more able to recognize the need for pedagogical change than to address what the pedagogical approaches actually are. This report lays the foundations of what the pedagogical choices are (see the six clusters of innovative pedagogies figure and their key enablers). We focus on teacher learning and the need to develop the foundations for quality teaching, as well as on widening the profile of educators as integral to pedagogical and system transformation. The complexity of the 21st century and the demanding nature of professionalism call for hybrid learning environments and for the scaffolding of coherent educational models and complementary support materials. Transformation demands scaling as deep change in cultures of collaboration. The report argues the pivotal role of the “missing middle,” or “meso,” level—of networks, cha...

PRIMARY SCHOOLS USING MUCH MORE OF THEIR BUDGETS - Best School Kumbakonam

PRIMARY SCHOOLS USING MUCH MORE OF THEIR BUDGETs - Best SChool Kumbakonam Best matriculation girls schools in Kumbakonam Primary schools are using their budgets much more. Last year the school boards had 5.9 million euros of their budgets left over at the end of the year. In 2017 it was just over 106 million euros, Trouw reports based on figures from education executive agency DUO. Schools' tendency to not use their complete budget led to criticism last year. Ministers Ingrid van Engelshoven of Education, Culture and Science and Arie Slob for Primary- and Secondary Education called the left-over amount remarkable, given the fact that the education sector was demanding extra money to lower teachers' workloads. "Saving must not become a goal in itself", the Ministers wrote in a letter to parliament. "After all, it involves money intended for education." The Education Inspectorate wrote a report stating that school boards are far too conser...

Behala primary school upgrade to meet demands for English - Best School Kumbakonam Best matriculation girls schools in Kumbakonam A  61-year old primary school run by a Christian missionary voluntary organisation will be upgraded to a full-fledged ICSE school to meet the demands for English medium education among residents of Behela.

St Joseph’s Primary School, which shares its campus with Oxford Mission on Diamond Harbour Road was converted from a Bengali to a English medium institution four years ago. Since its inception in 1958, the medium of instruction was Bengali and the school catered to the 160-odd boys of an orphanage run by the mission on its 60-acre campus. The school now has close to 250 students, a CNI official said. The school’s board of governors recently decided to upgrade to Class XII because of the demand among people of the area. “We...
