Education in Bihar under Threat

The
experiences of mass exodus of teachers and
students were a regular feature in the past, but
the Nitish government is also acting in the same
manner. University teachers basically have not
received their salaries after December because
they have already given two months salary to the
Income Tax department and since March 2008 their
salary has not been paid. How does the
government expect dedication from the teachers?
Universities have failed to regularise the
calendar and the officers are corrupt because
they have observed this from the top. Numerous
vocational courses have been started in
different universities of Bihar but the students
are not getting quality education. Only one
percent students are getting chance to go for
higher studies from the vocational courses
because they are not giving quality education to
their students. These courses are grazing
grounds for the coordinator and the
administrator.
I have seen the universities in the US and
Canada where complete infrastructure is
available to the faculty members before starting
any new department in the college. Here there is
no norm at all.
I have faith in the electronic and print media
that can highlight all these maladies in the
universities and can initiate a 'purification
drive' in the universities of Bihar. Unless
Nitish Kumar takes some firm decisions, Bihar
will lose its faith in good governance and Vikas
will turn into Vinash rapidly.
