800 get degrees Ludhiana, April 6 Mr Johar said the Higher Education Department would appreciate suggestions to improve the education standards from any university, college or organisation. He said the teachers of private colleges would get pension and gratuity on a par with the government teachers. He said under the 95 per cent grant-in-aid scheme, the colleges would get aid on time after discussing the issue with Capt Amarinder Singh. Moreover, he has instructed the vice-chancellors to make lists of vacancies and teachers according to their seniority so that the senior teachers can get benefits of service due to them. Ms Charanjit Mahal, Principal, read out the annual report. Nearly 800 students, including postgraduates, got degrees and a large number of students were awarded prizes. Mr Johar presented the roll of honour to Amita Rana (B.Sc II), Inderjit Kaur (BA II) and Kiran. College colours were presented to Ramanpreet Kaur (BA III) and Ramanjot (BA II).

Education
system blamed for copying Ahmedgarh, April 6 Mr Dharampaul Sharma, a retired teacher and social worker of the town, said all methods adopted to check copying during recent years had failed. Five types of question papers had only increased the problems of paper setters and evaluation staff and enhanced the cost of examination process. Mr Abhai Jain , president of the local Vidya Parcharak Sabha, blamed the system for the spread of the ‘evil’ to private schools also. He said, “ Observations during the past decade revealed that even weak students of government schools had passed with good marks while private school students had to face failures. To check the outflow of students, on this pretext management committees and heads of these schools preferred to close their eyes to this.” Ms Jasmine Sharma, a student of a local private senior secondary school, said the evil has spread like a contagious disease.

SCHOOL
GUPTA Model High School was founded in 1982 and from a modest beginning it has made laudable and visible progress. The founder, Surinder Gupta, was a teacher and possessed a missionary zeal to impart disciplined education. He called the school ‘a temple of education’ and had a dream to develop it to an optimum level producing high calibre, competitive and confident students who were ready to face the challenges of uncompromising world. Surinder Gupta had a dream which pivoted around hard work and excellence. His dedicated team has in essence fulfilled his dreams. From planning to the development of disciplined students, there were innumerable steps which made the school a successful school. This had been made possible by the farsightedness of the founder and support of the managing committee. The Principal, Ms Simmi Gupta, daughter of the founder, is putting up her sincere efforts and hardest endeavour for the progress of school. The students brought 100 per cent result in Class X examination. Amanjot Kaur, Ramanpreet Kaur and Sunny Sood got 85.8, 83 and 78 per centmarks, respectively. Amanjot Kaur also received distinction in Maths. No student was placed in third division. To develop the personality of students, participation in co-curricular activities is a must. The students know well that participation in these activities is more important than winning or losing. The students are encouraged to take part in art and craft competition, poetry recitation, declamation and debate contests and quiz competitions and such activities are organised in the school. The school has a fully equipped school band. A band teacher has also been appointed to guide the students to perform in a competitive manner. Surinder auditorium is now recently renovated and is fully functional to hold all types of school functions. This auditorium is a humble tribute in the memory of our founder Principal Surinder Gupta.The management is fully alive to the fact that the present accommodation is proving inadequate because of the rapid popularity and consequent great rush for admission to the school. PUDA allotted a plot in favour of the school last year but the small size and infavourable economic viability forced us to surrender the same. The management is interested in a bigger plot in order to provide full scale sports facilities and for further expansion to accommodate students of classes XI and XII. We are confident that this year a suitable size plot will be acquired. Needless to add that for this we need your best wishes and sincere support,” the Principal said.

‘Teaching fraternity is becoming money minded’
On education Theoretical and bookish knowledge is making education lose its importance.” I feel knowledge of the topic should be made so vivid that once the students learn the lesson, it is firmly imprinted on their minds. Like if the teacher is teaching about plants, then the teacher should show a variety of plants, fruits, seeds and every thing related to plants so that the students observe plants all their lives’, says Ms Simmi. The schools as well as teaching fraternity are becoming too money minded thus one can see lack of dedication among teachers and lack of commitment on part of school managements. At least in this school, we show the door to those teachers who come to ‘pass their time’ as one cannot allow people to play with the careers of students. These are hard times and parents do shell out a large amount of money on educating their children. So schools as well as the teachers should do justice to their jobs. On discipline Discipline is the backbone of the education. To maintain discipline, the teachers have to be disciplined themselves. So I have to see that teachers are punctual and regular in their jobs. Supervisory staff sees to it that the correction of homework is done. Class representatives and parents are free to tell the shortcomings of school. If we know the shortcomings, then only we can improve upon the things. We try to teach internal discipline through motivation. The students are free to discuss their problems and once they feel that they are important partners in maintenance of discipline, the problems vanish. House incharges also help maintain discipline in the school. On religion The students from classes I to X consider school to be a ‘temple of learning’ and so touch the entrance of the school everytime they enter or leave the school. The school inculcates values of each religion as the school does not distinguish between any religion. Moral education is given on day to day basis. Now that war is going on in Iraq , the students are taught the importance of peace and they can see the horrors of war on their televisions. The students are encouraged to speak truth even if consequences are not pleasant at times. |

Poems by students Why
Why lead and marble sink? Why stars shine and winds blow? Why sinks the sun behind the hills, and why the flowers die? Some of whys are not too hard to answer if you will try? But others - no one ever yet has found the reason why? Deepika Grover, X-A My Country I love my country the land in which I live. I am very sure my heart its truest love should give for, if I love my country I’ll try to be a man My country may be proud of, and if I try, I can. Manpreet Singh, X-A Sweet Moon Pretty moon, pretty moon How you shine on the door! And make a bright light on my bedroom floor. You shine on my playthings just like kings. You are so high and near but look very clear. Dalini Khanna, VIII-a Spring Song Spring is coming, spring is coming all around is fair shimmer and quiver on the river joy is everywhere. Spring is coming, spring is coming flowers are coming too, pansies, lilies, daffodils now are coming through. Shikha of VIII-B  |
