New CCE system resulting in all study & no play for children
Teachers, parents and the management of the schools were unable to digest the decision of the Telangana government to commence classes without a break.
Khammam: Teachers, parents and the management of the schools were unable to digest the decision of the Telangana government to commence classes without a break.
The State government adopted Continuous and Comprehensive Education System (CCE) introduced by the Education Board. And as per this, both private and government schools have to conduct classes three months before the end of academic year. The academic year will be closed in March second week and classes for the new academic year will begin from March 21 onwards.
The government’s decision is drawing opposition from educationists and parents as well. They argue that students need a break to re-energise to face the burden of the new curriculum. They are requesting the education wing and the government to reconsider their decision.
Poosa Kishore, a government school teachers working in Warangal, said “Students will be in holiday mood once the exams are over. They cannot concentrate on lessons immediately after the exams as they had studied hard for the final exams.”
They need holidays to rejuvenate to take burden of higher classes they are promoted to, he observed. Poshetti Anil Kumar, resident of Bala Samudram in Hanamkonda and has two children, worried about the children’s health considering the hot weather in the coming days.
Usually after the exams, students along with their parents plan for summer vacations and enjoy holidays without any pressure and homework. But this new system is creating panic among the children hence could not enjoy their holidays properly, he added.
Meanwhile, the government has already distributed text books of all classes to the mandal head quarters and the respective Mandal Education Officers are in the process of disburse the new books to all schools in the mandals.
Mandal Educational Officer of Singareni mandal of Khammam district Z Yesudasu said that the government sent 23,057 new textbooks to the Singareni mandal headquarters against the requirement of about 37,684 books. The government has to supply 14,627 books of different subjects of various classes, he said.
‘The new books have to be supplied to all the schools in the mandals and the classes for the new academic year will begin from March 21,” he added.
Student union leader Naga Raju alleged that several government schools haven’t yet received textbooks, notebooks and school uniforms. Some of these schools do not have fans and drinking water facilities. How the students will stay hydrated and beat the heat in the coming summer season, he questioned.
Educational experts felt that keeping children occupied during summer break is important but at the same time constant emphasis on academics could be counter-productive.
Instead, parents and schools must encourage children to explore new hobbies like learning music, painting, dancing and other such activities during holidays, which gives enjoyment to the children, they observed.
