A bad trend in the teaching learning process set by missionary private schools and carried forward by non missionary private schools and even Government schools has gone noticed for years together even after poor performance by students in the examinations conducted by J&K Board of School Education and Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE). Teachers in private schools and more so in famed missionary schools teach only one half of the topics for which the students are put to test both in term and annual examinations just to hype fake projections and impressions about the performance of students from basic primary to 9th classes for the purposes of attractions in admissions year after year. This bad trend has led to huge compromise on the quality education so much so that students of famed missionary schools of Kashmir valley hardly find a place among first top twenty positions in Class 10 and Class 12 examination. Never forget that just a decade ago almost all the top twenty positions were always captured by students of top missionary schools of Kashmir Valley like Burn Hall, Presentation Convent, Tyndale Biscoe, and Mallinson schools. Students put to test only for half of the chapters shine in the examinations which attracts huge responses for the admissions in top missionary and non missionary private schools. Parents of the students of basic primary and higher middle classes enrolled in the above named famed missionary private schools are shocked to know it from their wards that they are being taught only half of the chapters for which the unit, term and annual examinations are held. This shocking revealation by the children before their parents shows the intensity of the falling standards of teaching and consequently the quality education more in missionary private schools and comparatively less in non-missionary private schools. Interestingly R P School Srinagar is the only private school where complaints about such huge compromises on teaching the topics as per the prescribed syllabus have not been noticed by the parents.
“It is for the Director School Education Kashmir to seek explanations for all schools particularly missionary and non missionary private schools for setting a bad trend of teaching only one half of the topics of the prescribed syllabus and leaving another half untouched just to cheat the parents and commit unparadonable academic frauds on the gullible students.To stop permanently cheating of parents and academic frauds committed on students better it would be for the Government to devise a strong mechanism for regulation the completion of syllabus and examination schedule from basic primary to middle classes in all the schools across Jammu & Kashmir”.
The deficiencies left unattended by the teachers of missionary and non-missionary private schools are finally made up by the coaching centres as it has been noticed that only such students of famed missionary and non missionary private schools qualify NEET examination who pursue coaching at the top coaching centres in Srinagar, Jammu and several parts of the country like Kota in Rajisthan. What merits a mention here is the fact that since last ten years students of above named famed missionary schools are seen hardly capturing 3-4 positions in the top 20 positions of Class 10 and Class 12 examinations. No doubt students of these missionary schools having qualified their Class 10 and Class 12 examinations 10-15 ago are seen qualifying All India Civil Services and J&K Civil Services Examinations but the no of students qualifying NEET examination from these famed missionary schools is hugely less in comparison to non missionary private schools and Government run schools. Finally it is for the Director School Education Kashmir to seek explanations for all schools particularly missionary and non missionary private schools for setting a bad trend of teaching only one half of the topics of the prescribed syllabus and leaving another half untouched just to cheat the parents and commit unparadonable academic frauds on the gullible students. To stop permanently cheating of parents and academic frauds committed on students better it would be for the Government to devise a strong mechanism for regulation the completion of syllabus and examination schedule from basic primary to middle classes in all the schools across Jammu & Kashmir.
