SCHOOL TEACHERS’ EXAM SHOULD BE AS TOUGH AS CIVIL SERVICE EXAM

In the interest of one and all……..

My dear countrymen!

Although I had been a mediocre student throughout, while doing my graduation from Gorakhpur University,(U.P.), Luckily , I happened to develop a very cordial relations with two of my English Professors, namely late Shri R.S. TRIPATHI ( nicknamed as  Bulganin) and  Shri  K. G. Srivastava ,  and proudly mention that  relationship is still continuing till date. Both were geniuses in their own right and Srivastavaji incidentally was also the student of Tripathi Sir, later joined Allahabad University and retired from there as V.C. From them only, I Inherited the good habit of reading various type of books and magazines other than Text Books.

“BOOKS LOVERS ARE THE HAPPIEST and THE RICHEST.”  -Gorge Bernard Shaw.

Though I was so influenced and inspired by their company, gradually with the passage of time I developed my personality according to their thoughts and philosophies. I owe them a lot and I will not be able to pay back their debt in this life. Had I got this type of mentor-ship and guidance during my schooling, I would have been a different man altogether. This precisely is the reason, I
give more importance to the primary school teachers up to 10^th standard and wish its selection process at par with civil services.

The dawn of new Govt. in Delhi, we expect and hope the drastic needed reforms everywhere soon. And very shortly, people will witness the revolutionary change and work culture quite different in almost all the Govt. Depts. Sensing this possibilities brighter, I tempted to express my views on the subject matter. In this connection, I would like to quote what WILLIAM ARTHUR said about the teacher.

“THE MEDIOCRE TEACHER TELLS. THE GOOD TEACHER EXPLAINS. THE SUPERIOR TEACHER DEMONSTRATES. THE GREAT TEACHER INSPIRES.”

Contrary to the existing ailing systems, I think school teachers’ exam should be toughest like civil service exam so that best brains should be attracted towards this arena. If so recruited and offered a handsome salary let us say minimum 1.0 lakh per month, consolidated to begin with, I believe this is not at all a big cost our country cannot afford when the question of our country’s CHARACTER and NATION BUILDING comes. It will pay a very rich dividend in the long run. Though this process may take some time in fruition, the final miraculous outcome, when will come be beyond one’s expectations and imaginations. Children coming out after passing 10^th standard, will be so versatile, that we will feel proud of them and they (our wards) will be so capable enough to excel in almost all the fields of their choice and interest on their own. And eventually they will prove to be a great asset for our country.

In case we afford to take risk, I believe, this will be the investment in nation building and within few years’ country will notice complete transformation in environment that ultimately country will have to slash their budget to the great extent. Atmosphere will come out to be so harmonious that we will be able to save a lot of budgetary fund  spent on unnecessary things such as  in controlling mechanism and like heavy expenses on CCTVs cameras for women safety and security, thefts, petty crimes, and various types of other small crimes…etc. 

It is really a matter of great shame that even after 65 years of independence Govt. of the day is not keen in making the foundation of our children strong. If we give a little thought seriously on this issue of national importance, we can make them self-sufficient to propel in life independently and efficiently. By so doing, trust me we will be able to finish the cancer of Reservations for good. Reasons being SC/ST and all others minorities class will voluntarily refuse to avail the benefits of reservation because of confidence, values, honor and confidence nurtured in them by good faculties since childhood.

It is the established fact that there is widespread corruption in Education department, where zero percent corruption should be the norms, kindly note. It is not late even today, if we make a pledge today and start taking remedial measures, soon we will be able to tide over the complex situations, trust me.

We are hearing a lot of noises for quite a long time but at higher studies only, not at primary level where it needs the most, Which will ultimately pave the way for making our nation proud and super power.  If we really want our nation to be a real super power from all angles, we must gladly opt for this. Why so vital issue of national importance has been so neglected, really surprising. To my mind, may be no policy maker has the patience to wait for such a long period of 18 yrs or so (voting age) for result.

Living in Delhi for the last 35 yrs, we have seen much a change but never thought to write about, but this time with the new Govt. in the scene, we hope to see some possibilities of desired change.

Towards reaching idealism, this is my just a humble beginning……. Finally with following ARISTOTLE’S QUOTE, I finish my views…..

"THOSE WHO EDUCATE CHILDREN WELL ARE MORE TO BE HONORED THAN THEY WHO PRODUCE THEM; FOR THESE ONLY GAVE THEM LIFE, THOSE THE ART OF LIVING WELL".
