Education vs Bihar!

It is not a hidden fact that, Bihar is among the few states whose share in production of National Human power is high. But no one of them actually wants to contribute to the state. Migration is at the maximum it can be. Its all due to the system (educational/political).

We are the only large state in India which has no college/university/institute with the "A" grade certification of NAAC [National Accreditation and Assessment Council] of UGC.

How shameful is it to hear? Nearly 25% of the primary school teachers are found absent from schools. All colleges (intermediate & degree, except some in the big towns) are either yet to be provided with faculties/facilities/equipments/funds/books for libraries etc. There are laboratories in the intermediate colleges (I can not comment on the degree colleges as they are in the hands of the different affiliated universities) but neither the student is familiar with the practical classes nor they are motivated to attend a very-very few theoretical classes.

The situation is such that students have to depend upon private tuitions/coaching institutions largely run by the govt. teachers/ lecturers/ unemployed youths. You can realise the condition of a poor student who can only rely upon the hot "guess papers" available just before intermediate examination. At least the teachers of Govt. plus-two/inter colleges should do their "duties". My request is to the Secretary of Bihar Intermediate Education Council [BIEC]. He must ensure that all the schools/colleges under BIEC are implementing the strict education pattern/teaching hour/practical classes/attendance/other extra curricular activities etc. as required at plus two level. This complaint may go very long, but the point is that the students should not be left behind in the current education pattern.
