Onus on officials to provide quality education to students: Bhuse

Nashik: School education minister Dada Bhuse on Friday said while state govt was taking steps to boost student attendance in zilla parishad schools, it was up to education officials and teachers to deliver quality education to students. "State govt will welcome students across the state on their first day on June 16. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and deputy CMs Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will join too in welcoming students to govt schools. I urge all elected representatives and govt officers, including police and bank officials, to attend the programmes at every school," Bhuse said, after reviewing the performance of the education department of Nashik Municipal Corporation and Zilla Parishad in the presence of industry minister Uday Samant, MLA Kishore Darade, Zilla Parishad chief executive officer Ashima Mittal, deputy director of education BB Chavan, and others. The school education minister said, "While govt was taking measures to increase the admissions to schools, the education department officials should ensure they provide quality education to the students and retain them." "A large number of initiatives are being introduced and implemented in many schools in the state. We will ensure they do not remain limited to specific schools only. The officials should create a better and quality environment to increase the inflow of students to the schools of local self-government bodies, including the zilla parishad," Bhuse said. He also spoke about the development of basic physical facilities of schools through PM Shri Schools, various govt schemes, Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Programme, and others. In response to a question of whether there were cases of fake recruitments in the Nashik division, the school education minister said, "State govt has already formed a special investigation team (SIT) to conduct enquiry into the issue. The scope of the SIT is not limited to Nagpur, but the entire state. The SIT is doing its job, and let's wait for the outcome." Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
