Many a times we hear of teachers not attending to their classes. And in such circumstances how can we expect imparting of good education. Such cases are mostly in government schools, particularly in remote areas, and states like UP have comparatively very high such cases.
Here comes a very positive story from UP.
Teachers at 140 government-run primary and upper primary schools in Naugarh area of Chandauli have been reporting for work on time after the district administration launched “attendance-with-selfie” drive in the first week of February.
As soon as they get to school, teachers take a selfie with students and day’s newspaper and share it on a WhatsApp group called attendance with selfie.
After this programme was started the attendance has increased considerably.
Read this report by Sudhir Kumar in Hindustan Times. May be this experiment is taken further, not only in UP, but also in other states where similar problems exist.
