The governor of Rajasthan, Margret Alva threw light on the education standards in the state at the state-level Teachers’ Day function held at Birla Auditorium. Alva commented that although progress has been underway in education sector yet the situation is worrisome and not up to the mark.
She made the claims on the basis of the findings of an NGO called Pratham. She asserted that more than half percent of the schools in the state lack the RTE Act recommended student- teacher ratio. She added, “The state with over four lakh school teachers in about 1.20 lakh schools is reportedly short of 70,000 teachers.
As many as 8,000 schools have no drinking water while about 15,000 schools do not have toilet facilities.” Carrying forward the point, she added that there are schools with single teacher heading the task while many lack basic infrastructure of building and play grounds.
