Survey on Quality of Education

  The survey reveals shocking findings

Report by Surovi Shishu Panchayat, Assam 

Surovi Social Responsibility Survey programme was initiated on June 11, 2012 by Surovi Shishu Panchayat to do a reality check on quality and responsibility of the ongoing education system through various government, semi government and private High Schools from the nearby areas in Guwahati covering 300 students (Class IX to XII), 30 teachers in June-July, 2012. 

“It is important that we understand on the quality of education that is imparted in our area,” said Islam Ali, a member of Surovi and student of class XI who was part of the Survey team. 

The initial findings are not only revealing but shocking, informs Rihan Ali, Coordinator of Surovi Shishu Panchayat. “Zero per cent of the students surveyed could tell about the districts of Assam, none could tell about the total number of students in their school, nor could they tell the full names of their teachers. Similarly, zero per cent knew the names of  different chief ministers of Assam and only two per cent had any idea of who was the highest ranking officer in a district,” Rihan shares these startling facts.
