Parents of the other party do not send their children to school when one party is the president of the management committee
Ganesh Basic School Gidichaur located in Tatopani Rural Municipality-4 of Jumla is allowed to teach up to class 5 but there are only 12 students. Among them, only 10 are from Child Development Center, the rest are from class 2. There are 2 people who teach them.
Every year, during the recruitment drive, teachers go door-to-door with parents, asking them to send their children. But parents don't send students. That is why there are zero students in class 3, 4 and 5. The condition of physical infrastructure in the school is good. has been surrounded. There are water and toilet facilities.
Established in the year 2049, this school has one permanent teacher. He is the principal of the school. Even he cannot reach school when he has to work. Schools are often run by child development facilitators. There are three permanent teacher posts in the school. The municipality has already sent two teachers to another school where there are no students.
Principal Nandakrishna Choulagai says that the students could not be stopped because there is a secondary school nearby. "Small children go to secondary school with their brothers and sisters," he said. "There is also a private school nearby. Some parents send their children to private schools opened in the capital Khalanga.'
The school used to call parent meetings in November and March. "At that time, we will take the proposal that the students should be sent or the school should be cancelled," said Principal Choulagain, "All the parents have positive things in the meeting," he said, "They are not sending their children."
Becoming the president of the school management committee is a struggle. There is extreme party politics in schools. Only the party that is the president sends students, the other party does not send students throughout the term. "Congress, Maoist president Ae UML does not send. At present, a person close to the university is the president, others have not sent students," said Principal Chaulagai. Dadim Sarki, a parent, said that only students from very poor families come to
school. He also said that the teaching in the school was not good. "Children of teachers who teach in government schools are in boarding," he said.
Tatopani Rural Municipality has also launched a campaign to merge schools that are in critical condition. "Now we are monitoring every school and counting the head of the school," said Nanda Prasad Choulagain, chairman of the rural municipality.
