Erode District Collector Anand Kumar enrolls his daughter in Government school IAS
Can you believe this?
Erode District Collector Mr.Anand Kumar enrolls his daughter in Government school!
Previously his daughter was studying in a matriculation school for 1st standard. Now she is going to 2nd standard. Recently he took charge as Erode collector after the tamil nadu state elections.
Mr.Anand Kumar has visited a village called Kumalankuttai, which is just half a kilometer away from Erode and visited a government school in that area. He sat in the parents chair and did not sit in the head mistress chair, even though she has offered to sit in her chair.
He has asked for the free clothes for her daughter and for free food for her daughter. One additional information is Mr.Anand kumar's wife is a doctor. Given the situation he is a well-to-do and well-educated, he is going for our government system for education. It takes lot of courage and confidence on the system he is working with.
He probably wants his daughter to start from grass roots even though he and his family can get whatever he wants in the country. But he is taking an interesting route.
The reason this information has been captured in news is because this is unusual and this is a turn-around of our indian government based education system. Will this improve the education system? Will this change and improve the way the lessons are taught in that school and other schools in the area? Of course, there will be extra care, because the collector might take action if the things are not performing in these schools and up to the standard and to the level of other private schools.
The teachers in government school are not paid less. They get all the benefits and also they enjoy pension. The government schools are also supposed to be great in performance, efficiency in comparison with any other private schools.
We really appreciate the actions of the Erode Collector Anand Kumar. Hats off to you sir! This is a great move and this will be a great example and thanks for being an exemplification.
In foreign countries, public schools (government schools) seats are in very much demand. They get filled as soon as possible. That is because the standard of government schools are very good and it is free. Free does not matter when it comes to children's education. But the standard and efficiency of the school is important.
Thanks for your gesture Mr.Anand Kumar IAS.
