*ACROSS GOVT SCHOOLS IN MORMUGAO, HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS ARE LEAVING GOVT SCHOOLS. TO KNOW WHY,SIMPLY LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW - H.* *http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=21419&boxid=154354695&uid=&dat=6/23/2016* <http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=21419&boxid=154354695&uid=&dat=6/23/2016>
COMMENTS: Successive governments in Goa have failed and failed miserablY on this one most important count. Primary education is the foundation of the future generations. And this foundation has been allowed to rot to allow profligate life-style of our so called legislators that we elect time and time again. This is the reason for GSRP to have come up. This is what the Party's Road Map for Goa vouches to implement: Its Road Map Chapter on Education available at www.goasu-raj.com *[IX] EDUCATION* The entire education system in Goa shall be reviewed through debates, seminars and free discussions involving academics, pedagogues; student/parent associations etc., to bring out a “White Paper”. The focus shall be shifted from Exam Oriented Education to ‘Practical & Knowledge Oriented Education. State of the art ‘Primary School System’ infrastructure shall be introduced to make the Primary Schools in the State the best in the Indian Union and comparable to the best in the world. This we intend doing since the primary education is the foundation for future generations in this competitive world. Syllabi and examination patterns from primary school to university level shall be reviewed/changed to effect up-gradation. Educational institutions shall be freed from political influence and/or interference and shall be accorded autonomous status. Sex education as well as education on drug related influence on human body and mind and its ill effects shall be introduced in schools. Cell phone culture in schools shall be discouraged/arrested. Dramatics arts and Indian/Western dance and music culture shall be included in school curricula to bring out/develop latent talents in goan youth. *1. **Government Primary Schools:* The Party envisages state of the art universal plan for primary school buildings complete with facilities like school bus (universal design and colour) canteen, playground, garden/gardening area and audio visual teaching aids etc. Primary teachers shall be selected on basis of merit for acceptable temperament towards children and impeccable moral standing. Teaching shall be on ‘no home-work’ basis and mostly based on excursions to factories, mining areas, hospitals, places of importance like agricultural farms, bird sanctuaries, zoos, water falls, monuments etc. so that the young minds are exposed to real life experiences. Emphasis shall be strongly laid on teaching of ‘secular moral values.’ *Note:* The justification for this sustained expenditure is that if the government can afford to spend rupees 150 crores on IFFI related infrastructure with Rs. 24 crores spent on the renovation works of the Kala Academy, which infrastructure has been reduced to naught in just one heavy down-pour, and not just renovation, but another two or more Kala Academies could have been built with the same amount, the Goa government can and should spend more on primary school infrastructure as it is in the interest of Goa’s future. *PS: Our statement "Educational institutions shall be freed from political influence and/or interference and shall be accorded autonomous status" becomes significant when today a call has been given to St. Xavier's Higher Secondary School and College students to sign the petition to the CM re: the reinstatement of the brother-in-law of the CM who was caught in the bribe scandal. GSRP WANTS THIS STOPPED AND THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS MUST BE VEY SENSITIVE SO THAT THEIR WARDS ARE NOT USED TO CLEAN SELFISH POLITICAL GARBAGE by vested instrests.* http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3818 HARVEST THE RAINWATER THAT FLOODS THE STREETS - H http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=21426&boxid=15521900&uid=&dat=6/23/2016 COMMENTS: The age old Goan adage says: PAUSACHEM UDOK ADDOI ... UDOK JOROI [ARREST RAINWATER ..... LET IT SOAK] This has been successfully done at the Head Quarters of GSRP at Pirazona Moira. The entire rain wateer flow from the hillock of Pirazona empties into the property, which at times becomes a literal swiming pool. But then, the water vanishes within no time after the downpour has stopped. For the past few years, none of the sorrounding wells go dry which was the normal scene prior to this massive water harvesting. This pictures show for themselves.
