Dharwad DC mulls reducing teachers' non-academic tasks
Dharwad: Even as discontent is brewing among the schoolteachers over govt burdening them with non-teaching assignments leaving little time for them to teach and blaming them for students' poor performance in the examinations, the Dharwad district administration is mulling giving the teachers some relief. Deputy commissioner Divya Prabhu on Wednesday said a proposal will be sent to govt to provide the services of outsourced personnel to help teachers distribute eggs and bananas to the students under mid-day meal scheme. "A technical person will be provided at the cluster level to help teachers in online and technical operations," the DC said. Chairing a meeting of officials from school education and literacy department, teachers, headmasters and mid-day meal scheme staff here, DC Divya said Mission Vidyakashi-2024 did not meet with success and attributed inadequate guidance to the students at primary and secondary level. She said she had directed the DDPI to send a proposal to govt to hire some other agency to manage the distribution of eggs and bananas to the students under the mid-day meal scheme. The teachers had complained that almost half a day was spent distributing eggs, milk and bananas to the students and then uploading the information on the attendance of the students online. They had cited lack of facilities like availability of computers, internet and net connectivity among others.
