Education in Delhi Schools: Rhetoric vs. Reality Delhi-School-Education-Rep-June-2018 | Page 9

INCOMPETENT SCHOOL TEACHERS
In the continuously falling Delhi school education standards, the biggest losers are
students and their parents – most of whom belong to the disadvantaged section of
the society. The primary culprits for this persisting problem are school teachers
because they are supposed to take care of the students’ careers.
Now it is an open secret that the teachers – guest as well as regular – are so
incompetent that they do not deserve any job in schools. They never tried to revamp
the archaic syllabuses and obsolete pedagogy in order to make students employable
in the contemporary job market.
As a result, joblessness is spreading like a pandemic disease and teachers are
responsible for this ugly plight. Students taught by these good-for-nothing teachers
cannot be called educated and they never get ready for any work that can give them
proper employment.
Moreover, the teachers never tried to acquire new skills that students need to earn
their livelihoods in the current cutthroat world. Let alone subject proficiency, most
teachers do not know how to properly use English language which is the cornerstone
for every modern job in India and abroad today.
Complaints Against School Teachers
If government stops protecting them, these government school teachers – who are
surviving on public money – will not be able to get any job in the open market
