The central and state governments claim to have defeated private schools after spending crores of rupees on the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department, but the truth of their claim is borne out by the fact that out of the 2,269 running council schools in Gazipur district, 363 are council schools. There is a post of principal but no principal. That is, all these schools are being run by the department under Jugaad policy.
The education department has been working for a long time by making the assistant teachers posted in these schools as in-charge principals. It can be said that the district has the highest number of schools in the primary education department. With more schools, the district has the largest number of teachers, instructors and teaching assistants, who work to teach the students attending the school. Apart from this, they also claim to run schools like convent schools by making them hi-tech with the budget provided by the Uttar Pradesh government.
363 schools have no principal
Although this seems impossible in Ghazipur, as these schools are run from classes 1 to 5 and as per the norm there should be one teacher for all classes, but there are 59 council schools in Ghazipur, where the entire school is being run on the basis of only one teacher. is Not only this, 363 long-standing council schools in the district do not have principals.
