Dr. Parameswara Rao's sample letter

Dr. B. V. Parameswara Rao is requesting everyone to:

Please send your email to our PM and join the group for propagation of effective primary education. A model of your mail to the PM may run as follows:

Dear Prime Minsterji,

1.  We congratulate you for getting the "Right to Education Act" passed in the parliament after 6.5 years of hibernation.
2.  As you know primary education is not only important and primary to every school going student, but also the to the country as it moulds the minds in their formative periods, as is being taken advantage of by Japan.
3.  But we learn with dismay that the primary education is in shambles all over the country with 80% of the children not reaching the Minimum Levels of Learning (MLL), 60% dropping out of school by 6th and 87% out of high school.
4.  But more pathetic and distressing is that children in primary schools are taking to stealing, marijuana and even drinking, besides other wayward behaviour.
5.  The problems is because every state government handles primary education in its own different way. As primary education is in the concurrent list, kindly take it under the wings of your central government and give the benefits of good uniform primary education to every child in the country.
6.  It is all too important a subject to be let in the hands of the state governments or the officials of HRD alone. Your role is vital, even though you are highly preoccupied.

 We urge you, with all sincerity, not to tarry any longer but consider the following steps to be taken.

1. Please generate minimum standards and develop guidelines for running the classes in the primary schools across the country and work out the head cost per child.
2. Make over all the primary schools (both private and public) to constitutionally empowered and elected bodies of Panchayat or Municipal bodies, which are nearest government machinery to every school, along with appropriate authority and adequate funds (on the basis of the cost worked out per student).
3. The local bodies may be authorized to constitute appropriate school committees consisting of the headmaster and a teacher from the school, two mahila members, two parents, two youth with total membership not exceeding 11. The committees may further be authorized to generate additional funds locally, as or when needed. The committees will supervise running of the classes, conduct examinations and do all other chores to maintain the scholastic or other standards set by the government for each student to attain.
4. The governmental authority could be delegated to the state governments to inspect, monitor, audit and supervise the operationalization of the school system.

 Thus you would have involved the neartest local constitutional authority in the operation of schools, while making parents and teachers responsible for their childre, and thus maintain the uniformity of standards and curricula. These would ensure standard, uniform and good primary education toe every child across the country irrespective of the state, class, creed, sex and location of the student.

 Hope you would take this letter in the correct perspective in getting approrpriate primary education imparted to every child across the country. May God bless you to groom many more Nobel laureates.

 In conclusion, we urge you once again with all our sincerity for your personal involvement.

 Your's in service,
 
 

Address the above letter to:
