Indeed, primary education in our country draws its sordid state. Neither the corrective measures are inculcated, nor taught seriously. Most of the teachers do their jobs indifferently. The words, either be it of any language(Hindi, English etc.) are pronounced wrong.The regrettable fact is that they don’t get even the right information. It is quite shocking and alarming for the guardians.
The situation is getting grim. As a matter of fact, this indifference costs one in the long run. Whenever the guardians go through the workbooks and exercise books, several mistakes are seen. Even the wrong words and spellings are marked correct. When the teacher is asked about it they just put the lame excuse. They say that how it is possible in so many students. The guardians get confused that whom are they talking with. At least such reply is not expected from a teacher. I would like to put an example in this context.
The teachers usually use shortened form of some words during explaining. At least they should say a complete word especially in the primary classes. Once I asked my son about his general knowledge book and he was confused. When I took out the book from the bag and showed him. His immediate response was Its GK. It is said that the teacher is next to God. So, they would have to take that much pain. They are carving the future of a child. On the other hand, the pronunciations are very dismal. Its really irritating when a child pronounces FRACTION as FU-RACTION /ˈfəræk.ʃ ə n/ , SPHERE as SU-PHERE /səfɪə r / etc. Agreed that in Punjabi there is no combination of letters(alphabets). But is HINDI and ENGLISH there is. It is expected that English and Hindi should be taught accordingly. Once there was a shocking piece of evidence that the President of India was named Mohammed Ansari. It is common that the President is Mr. Pranab Mukherjee.
These instances compel us to rethink for our children. On which way are the moving? Subsequently, if any student gets place in merit list, its their maximum effort. The school’s role seems minimum . In the name of public school they charge a hefty amount. What do they give in return is easily assumed. When the base won’t be strong how can their personality be built.
In fact, it is the time for the people to be alert in this regard. Something harmful will occur if they don’t be aware at this right time. The ominous silence is spread all around.
