KCR’s school works yet to gather steam

Dubbaka: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s decision triggered by nostalgia and emotions on January 11 to build an integrated campus, housing both a junior college and high school at ZPHS Dubbaka where he completed his high school education has taken a heavy toll on children studying there presently.
Works for the construction of the new building have not begun even six months after the demolition of the old school. Moreover, school children are being accommodated in the junior college building located on the same campus. The problem is, children would be taught only for half a day (8 am to 12 pm), until their new building is built, which could take at least a year if not more, looking at the snail’s pace at which construction works are being carried on.
There are 150 students enrolled in the school this year and 60 students attended their classes on Monday, marking the start of their academic year.
A girl was carrying water on her bicycle from the mini water tank located on the campus. When The Hans India spoke to her, it turned out that she was Sharada, a sixth class student of the school. She was visibly irritated and wished the school operated for the whole day instead of half-day.
School headmasters and head mistresses from Dubbaka mandal agreed that it would be difficult for the teachers to complete the syllabus in the limited time frame. Above all, there would be absolutely no co-curricular activities for the children. They would just have to leave school after having their lunch. Students are worried about the decision to hold half-day school this academic year. They do not get any private tuition too.
When The Hans India contacted Md Nazeemuddin, District Education Officer, he said that shift system had to be followed by the school and the junior college until the new building was constructed. He added that it was quite common in many other schools where shift system has been going on this way, including some schools in Hyderabad.
