The Chief Minister appealed to all the instructors to register soon on the portal of the Basic Education Council, so that the health card distribution process could be started.
Honorarium was not increased from 2011 to 2022
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the appointment of part-time instructors started under the Right to Education Act in the year 2011-12. At that time he was getting an honorarium of Rs 7 thousand per month. He said that there was no increase in honorarium till 2022. Later the government first increased it by Rs 2 thousand and now it has been increased to Rs 17 thousand.
Picture changed in basic schools
The Chief Minister said that when his government was formed in 2017, the condition of Basic Education Council schools was very bad. Even basic facilities were not available in many schools. But today, through campaigns like ‘School Chalo Abhiyan’ and ‘Operation Kayakalp’, basic facilities have been provided in 96 percent of the basic schools of the state. He said that earlier the dropout rate was 17 to 18 percent, now it has come down to about 3 percent. The government aims to bring it completely to zero.
Emphasis on making children self-reliant
In his address, the Chief Minister also laid emphasis on the personality development of children. He said that every child has some hidden talent and it is the responsibility of the teachers to identify it and give it the right direction. He said that instead of making children excessively weak or ‘touchy-feely’, it is important to make them strong, disciplined and self-reliant. Sports, cleanliness, punctuality and values are also important parts of education.
Focus on education of poor children and daughters
The Chief Minister said that 18 Atal Residential Schools have been established for workers and destitute children, where thousands of children are receiving education with modern facilities. Apart from this, Chief Minister Composite Schools are being developed in every district, where facilities for education, sports and skill development will be available from pre-primary to 12th. He said that Kasturba Gandhi Girls Schools are also being continuously strengthened, so that daughters of poor families can get better education.
“No child should be deprived of education”
The Chief Minister said that if a child is deprived of education, it affects not just a family but the entire society and nation. He said that to build a developed India and a self-reliant India, it is very important to connect every child with education. The changes taking place in the education sector under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi are laying the strong foundation of the coming India.
