Teachers attributed the public’s popularity to its affordability and the 7. 5% share for public school academics in vocational courses.
The overall enrolment of academics from pre-primary to Class 12 fell to Crre 1. 28 crore from Crre 1. 29 crore last year. But public schools recorded 53 lakh admissions, five lakh more than last year. The report says enrollment in public schools was 47 lakh last year.
Teachers attributed the popularity of public schools to their affordability and the 7. 5 percent quota for public school students in vocational courses. “After COVID-19, many faced a currency crisis and transferred their neighborhoods from private schools to public schools. Today, many wealthy families enroll their young people in public schools to benefit from a 7. 5 percent quota in medical and engineering schools,” said the principal of a public school in Chennai.
The quota was established 3 years ago for medical schools and two years ago for engineering courses. It applies to law courses. The principal said efforts to improve public school infrastructure are attracting parents. The UDISE report said TN lagged behind others in terms of generation upgrades. Out of a total of 58,801 schools, the computers of only 5,815 schools are used for educational purposes. absence of libraries and virtual laboratories in schools.
While 81 percent of the state’s 37,636 public schools have computers, 79 percent have functioning computers. Only 24. 7% have internet installations. But this is a mentality compared to last year, which was 6% lower. “Computers without internet are a joke. Last year, 18% of public schools had internet, and this year that figure rose to 24%. But not the situation,” said V Sharmilla, an academic.
Because of covid-19, there is a backlog of admissions in 2020, which would possibly explain why enrollment figures were higher last year, said K Kaushik, a retired teacher.
