Impacts of Certain Imposed Factors on Education and Educationists in Punjab, India

Abstract

Quality achievements, teacher inputs and outputs require a universal level if our country have to compete with the developed nations. Firstly, this paper examines problems while implementing those according to the present conditions in the schools of Punjab and secondly how those problems affect educationists as employs and educationists as common man. Teacher can fulfil the desires of society if he himself is mentally free from hardships in social responsibilities and free from the threat of insecure future. Education is only way to achieve desired goals in life and to make people aware of their prospect and potentials. Due to disparities presented in the rural and urban conditions of schools of Punjab there are some issues presented which affects the education system but are ignored ever. Often ignored factors, policies and structures either by political will or by bureaucracy have many adverse effects on the thousands of educationists and their families throughout life. This paper thus depicts categories of Para teacher schemes including contractual and departmental, Unequal wages but equal desired output by department, same policies for rural and urban staff ignoring regional disparities, prioritization of subjects since Kothari commission (1964)(1965)(1966) without considering demand of today's 21 st century globalised world, poor level of teacher trainings , misinterpretations of compulsory education, Annual confidential reports (ACR's) without feedback to employs, non-teaching works due to lack of support staff in schools which suffers teacher student contact timings and finally partial transfer policies in which some remained in urban areas forever and others remained in faraway places forever until and unless blessed by political will and ignoring goals of justice, liberty and equality and in last some remedies also suggested for the revision consideration. School education forms the foundation of an education system and this can be achieved only by providing the free environment.

Factors Responsible for Husband Battering as Expressed by Married Adults in Lagos State, Nigeria

“…Hines, Brown and Dunning (2007) epitomised this attitude to domestic violence (and through this to abused husbands) in statements such as 'only violence against women should be evaluated as a social problem requiring concern and social intervention'; or 'only men can be perpetrators of violence' (Katz, 2006); or 'women are typically victims and not perpetrators of violence in intimate relationships' (Katz, 2006). This is not a single voice but rather a common belief shared by the vast majority of those dealing with domestic violence (Kaur, 2011), and a principle that is widespread among most current writers on this subject. Domestic violence is generally seen as a manifestation of patriarchal values; or a symptom of a social structure which is predominantly patriarchal and embedded in stereotyped male and female gender roles (Ilika, Okonkwo & Adogu, 2002) and of male supremacy (Leonard, 2005;Koss, 2007); a tool in the hands of men which is used 'to control female intimates' (Hines, Brown & Dunning, 2007) and not the result of individual failings of the relationship.…”
