activists to raise mass-movement to get TCP printed in the Gazette. And using
TCP, activists should gather public opinion on the following:
1. Using proposed TCP,
print following drafts in Gazette -- Right to Recall District Education
Officer, State Education Minister, Central Education Minister and University
Vice Chancellor etc.
2. Using TCP, print Saatya System draft to improve education of Maths, other important subjects
3. Provide law education
starting class VI; provide education of tax laws including filling returns
4. Provide universal
weapon use education
5. Give subsidies
directly to students instead of colleges
6. Providing bilingual
(English, Hindi or local language) textbooks for all subjects such as maths, science, geography, law-draft etc.
7. Allowing students to
take optional exams in English, if the want
And
many more proposals are given at http://rahulmehta.com/improve_education.htm
.
Using TCP via SMS, we activists should get citizens’
opinion on whether following draft should be printed in the State Govt Gazette or not.

How would RTR-DEO
improve DEO? First, the threat of prompt replacement alone would force him to
reduce corruption. But that does not do much. At the end, we want a DEO who is
not interested in corruption to begin with, not someone who is reducing
corruption because of threat of replacement. How does RTR-DEO in six months
provide hundreds of DEOs who are not interested in corruption at all? I will
explain the process of how RTR-DEO will accomplish that.
There
are about 700 DEOs in India. Almost all 700 are intelligent, capable and
efficient. And out of them about say about 10-15 are not interested in
corruption. That asset is what we already have. Now my RTR-DEO procedure has
one clause --- that if an officer is appointed as DEO by CM, he can be DEO of
only one district ; but if citizens have made him DEO,
he can be DEO of up to 5 districts in State and up to 10 districts in India.
And he would get salaries of all those districts i.e. if a person is DEO of 4
districts and has been appointed by citizens, then his salary will be 4 times.
This is cheaper as only salary becomes 4 times, medical benefits, other
benefits and many lifelong benefits do not become 4 times. And a later
modification makes this feature of “horizontal promotion” or “horizontal
expansion” more radical --- the salary will become (N * Log2N) times where N is
number of Districts he obtains via citizens’ approvals. Further, a person will
be entitled to hold several positions across departments i.e. he may be DEO of
10 districts and also become District Health Officer of 10 districts with some
limits. In addition, there is provision for vertical rise i.e. if he serves as
District Prosecutors of several Districts, his chances of becoming State
Prosecutors of one and more States increases.
So
out of existing 700 DEOs, say 5-15 are non-corrupt. Once RTR-DEO comes, they
will see an opportunity to do well as well as expand horizontally as well as
vertically. They will start introducing positive changes in the schools in
their districts. They will stop middle officers from taking bribes, they will
ensure that contractors are putting furniture like blackboard, chairs etc. in
schools. They will ensure that teachers do attend schools etc..
And when they do so, they will no longer give hafta
to CMs. Now lets say in all
cases CMs transfer them. Then out of 7-15 such cases, in at least 2-5 cases,
the parents in order to save their kids’ education will bring that officer back
using RTR-DEO.
So
that would improve education in 2-5 districts out of 700 districts of India.
What about the rest? Well, say you are living in district-A.
Now say that DEO of A is corrupt and inefficient. Say there are 5 near by districts B, C D, E and X. Say district X alone has good DEO. Then
citizens of district-A now have a choice – they can expel DEO of their district
and give double charge of DEO of X. This very choice and power, that “citizens
can now expel me using RTR and bring DEO of X in my place” will create a threat in the
minds of DEO of A, B, C, D and E. So either they will all improve within 2-3
months, or citizens will expel them using RTR and replace him with DEO of X.
And within 8-10 months, all 700 DEOs will improve or face expulsion.
And
within 10-20 months, the officers with “get rich quick” and “hell with
citizens” mentality from will start leaving administration, and will no longer
join administration. So those who want to serve will have now more room and
less corrupt people who will interfere..
The
existing Govt procedures have a flaw that salary etc.
of an honest person does not double if he does twice the work, a phenomenon
common in business. This de-motivates honest people from joining Govt. The RTR
procedures I have proposed enable officers to hold multiple chairs and gain
more salaries. This will increase the inflow of honest as well as enterprising
persons into Govt.
I
have proposed RTR over not just District Education Officers, but also over
District Health Officer, District Police Chief, District Supply Officer (in
charge of rationing) etc.. I have proposed RTR over
some 30-50 District level positions including district judges. So there are
about 700 districts and so RTR will apply on about 30000 officers, judges. The
day RTR comes, some 15000 will improve within 24 hours. And when mere 2-5
officers get expelled in India in district in first month, the remaining 15000
across India will also improve. IOW, RTR will not require citizens to expel
even 50 out of 30000 officers. Expulsion of just 2-3 officers will serve as
enough warning for the rest. So RTR will not create any instability at all.
Same
way, I have proposed RTR State Govt level positions
and Central Govt positions such as CM, PM, Ministers,
HCjs, SCjs etc.. In some cases, they will continue. In some cases they will get expelled and replaced by better persons
in their level or lower levels.
1. DEO will initially
appoint Principals in schools run by the Municipal Corporation. The teachers
will be selected with a 3 year contract open
competitive exams. There will be transfer every year. Transfers will be via
random matching only.
2. Jury procedure
for/against a school teacher : If there is a complain against a school teacher, and prima-facie doubt is
established, a Jury of 10 citizens will be summoned. If over 7 Jurors decide
that the teacher is misfit to serve the students, the teachers will be
transferred to a different school. After 3 such transfers, he will be expelled.
The
procedure of replacement of District Education Officer will alone go long way
to improve education, and so will procedure to expel the teachers.
Questions, Exams and
Rewards
1. The system will have
a list of thousands of Maths questions for each of
the 12 standards. Questions will be multiple choice. The list will be published
and will be in public domain.
2. Depending on the
availability of resources, the District Education Officer will setup 1-4 exams
per month for each students
3. Each exam will have
30-120 questions randomly chosen from the list for that quarter. Duration would
be 1-3 minutes per question. Each exam will have 500-1000-more students
4. There would be
monthly cash rewards for students/teachers based on the performance in the
exams. These cash rewards will be the
ONLY funding that Maths teachers and schools will get
from the state. There will no salary for the Maths
teacher.
5. The rewards can be as
follows: Say Rs. 10 for each student and his teacher
who gets (Average - 10%) and Rs. 20 each student and
his teacher who gets more marks than (Average + 10%). Also, each parent gets
additional 25% of what the student gets. In addition, for students after class
V, additional 25% of what the student got goes to his teachers of past 2 years.
The exact amount of the reward will depend on the money allocated to DEO that
year.
Administration of Exams
6. The testing centers
would be operated by District Education Officer.
7. The DEO will arrange
for the buildings, desks, computer terminals, servers, printing reports,
allocating rewards etc.. for the testing centers using
the taxes he collects. DEO would appoint clerks, supervisor, assistants etc.. to run test center. The citizens may expel an employee
using Jury Trial.
8. DEO, or his clerks,
using random choice, will instruct a student to go to a testing center near his
school/home. For each month, the testing center can be different. Each student
will get a different desk in test. This reduces the chances of cheating.
9. The server computer,
upon the instruction of the supervisor, will randomly choose 60 questions from
a list of 1000s public domain questions.
10.Each student will get
the same 30-60 questions in different random order. Thus two students sitting
next to each other will be getting questions in a different order. The server
will not allow the student to change the answer to a question after he has
answered it. The server will allow at most 5 minutes per question. This will
make the exam cheat proof.
11.The DEO will pay the rewards for
all the tests of that month before 10th of next month.
12.Testing cost will be
below Rs 5 per test, not counting the land cost.
Dispensing Rewards
for Maths Exams
13.If over 95% students
answered a question or if less than 5% students answered a question, the DEO will not count
that question at all.
14.The DEO will decide
number of tests to be conducted for each subject for a given class. For
example, lets say that DEO decides that every month,
there will be 2 Maths test, 1 Physics tests, 1
Chemistry tests, 1 Biology test, 2 Law tests etc..
15.The software will
issue the points right after the exam.
Selection of Maths teacher in Saatya System
16.In the system I
described, any person can register himself as a Maths
teacher.
17.The parent of the
child will decide which Maths teacher’s class his
child will attend. The parents can change the teacher any month.
The
system I described can be used for many subjects such as
·
Science
(Physics, Chemistry, Biology etc.)
·
English
vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, translating sentences from English
to another language and vice versa. (not
English Literature)
·
Hindi
(vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, sentence translation, not
literature)
·
Other languages (vocabulary,
grammar, sentence construction, sentence translation, not literature)
·
Military
History, Technology History, History of Laws and Administrative Setups
·
Geography,
map-making and surveying practical at Local/District levels
1. some 15-20 students
will be asked to attend complete session of a few cases in a courtroom.
2. once the case is
over, they would be asked to discuss and
write their opinions covering the following issues (analysis)
¬ was the punishment
(or acquittal) fair?
was form of punishment (prison, fine etc..) fair?
¬ what exact laws were
applicable in this case? are these laws fair?
¬ what were the
evidences? were these evidences fair? Etc. etc.
3. discuss and write about following (synthesis)
¬ what should have been
the laws, if the laws were unfair?
¬ is the text of the
law simple enough to understand? can you provide simpler text?
¬ what should have been
the punishment in your opinion?
¬ could anything have
been done to stop that crime?
¬ is there anything
that would have made the trial faster? simpler? Etc. etc.
4. Each case would
invoke new issues. Much of the plan would be left to the teacher/students. The
students would be supervised by a teacher for 1-2 hr. a week. It would be more
interesting if schools can ask retired judges or a retired/practicing lawyers
or a technical expert in the field of the case to occasionally participate in
the discussion.
5. The students would be
asked to take cases in the subordinate as well as higher courts.
6. The cases would be chosen at random.
7. The texts will also
have information on actual things (corruption, nepotism, atrocities etc.) that
do happen in administration and courts
8. Providing information
on tax laws from class-VI to Third Year of College. The course would
include filing and checking tax returns, maintaining books for 6-10 years,
facing mock scrutinizes and also mock tax trials.
9. DEO will also
initiate course to teach tax-laws to students from class-VI or whenever parents
decide. The course will include filling actual tax returns and facing mock
scrutinizes.
I
at RRP propose that Military training to all adults, children above 16 should
be given. This is necessary to have a country where every citizen is armed to
protect the country from criminals as well as foreign invaders.
RRP
proposes to provide English education to all citizens from age of 5
years to 80 years. All textbooks from class-I to
colleges will be made bilingual i.e. odd numbered pages will be English
translation of the even numbered pages in the local language. This will apply
for all subjects, Maths, Sciences, Law etc.. The students will be free to write exams of these subjects
in local languages and in addition can also write second optional exam of these
subjects in English. The score of second exams will not carry any weight.
The
kt-buddheejeevies of India have always been against
giving law-education and weapon-use education to us commons. And they also
opposed giving English education to us commons as far as possible and also
insist on weak maths\science education. Ravindranath Tagore’s Shantiniketan
perfectly represents ideology of ku-buddheejeevies
towards education for commons. Tagore opposed the proposal to give
law-education and weapon-use education in Shantiniketan,
and also insisted on weak maths\science education.
English was also discouraged. He insisted on wasting away time of students in
useless subjects like literature and useless activities like “studying”
culture, traditions, perceptions, relations and problems rather than studying
administrative means to reduce problems. The ku-buddheejeevies
of India were like Ravindranath Tagore. They all
wanted no law-education, no weapon-use education, weak maths\science
education and that was the main reason why the ku-buddheejeevies
of India opposed Right to Recall District Education Office and Right to Recall
Education State\Central Minister since 1950.
The
maths\science education had started worsening since
1991 and has been worsening since then. The MNC-owners (and Missionaries such
as Vatican) were able to install their puppets PV Narsimha
Rao and Manmohan Singh as PM and FinMin. The other
Ministers and all IAS saw that now it is MNC-owners who call the shots and so
started obeying their wishes. The MNC-owners and The only road blocks or speed
breakers were commons of India. It was necessary that things go in a way that
commons must not know about alternatives.
One
of the prime goals of MNC-owners (and Missionaries) is to weaken maths\science education of India. Why do they want to weaken maths\science education? Several reasons
1. India will become dependent
in West for weapons : if maths\science
education of India weakens, then India will not be able to produce scientists,
mathematicians, high grade engineers etc. and so India will not be able to
manufacture. And so to protect itself from Pakistan and China, India will need
to depend on West for weapons. So during war-time, West can raise the prices of
weapons parts by 100 times and thus take over entire economy/polity of India
2. India will become
dependent on West for complex machines : if maths\science education of India weakens, then India will
not be able to produce scientists, engineers etc. who can make complex machines
like semiconductors chips, robots, airplanes, assembly lines etc. so India will
become dependent on West for complex machines. This will ensure that
manufacturing industries in India will remain dependent on West for complex
machines and parts.
3. Society where people know less maths is easier to fool and misguide into believing false
theories
Wherever
MNC-owners (and Missionaries) gained control, they have killed maths\science education. Best example is Philippines,
African countries and many Latin American countries. Some exceptions exist,
like South Korea and Taiwan. Here, MNC-owners did not kill maths\science
education because they needed these countries to fight against China, North
Korea, Russia etc..
So
how are MNC-owners killing maths\science education
India?
In
1991, MNC-owners gained controlling position in PMO and Finance Ministry. Both
PM and FinMin were MNC-owners’ puppets. Using them,
they gradually started controlling Education Ministers in Center as well as
States. And then they introduced following policies to weaken maths\science education
1. Don’t fail students
till class-VIII : The MNC-owners
bribed Central Education Minister to issue a dictat
that teachers will not fail students till class-VIII. So students will not
study and teachers will not teach. The exams test not just students but also
test the teachers. Many times, the teachers would teach because of fears exams
– that’s exams may reveal that students are weak and so his teaching was
insufficient. So by enacting “Don’t fail students till class-VIII”, the base of
maths\science education was weakened. In contrast
ICSE does fail students even in class-I.
2. Make 10th
class board optional or cancel10th class board : Corrupt Ministers have made CBSE
10th class board optional, and are discouraging students and parents
from taking board exams. Corrupt Ministers are also conspiring to cancel the 10th
class board completely. So schools will give 10th class pass
certificate and schools will fail as few students as possible so that they
don’t lose student in-take. And again, with board exams gone, teachers wont bother to teach and students will not study and so maths\science education will worsen. In contrast ICSE has
retained 10th class board.
3. Reduce syllabus : I passed 10th
class CBSE in 1984 and 12th class CBSE in 1986. In mid-1990s, I came
across new maths\science textbooks and saw that
syllabus was greatly reduced !! Same was the story I
heard in all State Boards --- their maths\science
syllabus was being cut. This has been done because MNC-owners and Missionaries
are bribing Education Ministers and IAS in Education Dept
so that level of maths\science abilities in students fall
4. Ask easy questions in
exams : There is a trend to
ask as many questions from textbooks as possible and ask as easy questions as
possible. The paper setters are told NOT to ask trick questions. Again,
Education Ministers and IAS in Education Dept are
doing it to decrease the maths\science level in
students.
These
are some of the techniques MNC-owners and Missionaries are making Education
Ministers and IAS in Education Dept to use to worsen maths\science education in India
There
is one more reason to cancel 10th class board exams. The Center and
States have spent abajas (1 abaja = 100
crore = 1000 million = 1 billion) of rupees in education. All that money has
gone down the drain. Now if 10th class board exam is taken, then it
will be become obvious to all that money has been wasted away and education
level has remained low. So to ensure that this scam remains buried,
Ministers\IAS are canceling 10th class board exams.
While
Ministers\IAS and ku-buddheejeevies are killing maths\science level in CBSE and State Boards, they are
preserving and also improving standards in ICSE. Eg
ICSE does fail even in class-V, takes tough exams from
class-V to class-VIII and class-XII, has board exams for class-X as well as
class-XII and the maths\science syllabus is very
broad and difficult. In 1986 (when I finished by 12th class), CBSE
and ICSE had almost same syllabus maths\science
syllabus. But today,. CBSE syllabus has been cut into
half and ICSE syllabus has increased. ICSE exams are also far more difficult
than CBSE exams and are full of tricky questions.
So elitemen,
IAS, Ministers and ku-buddheejeevies have maintained
the standard of ICSE. And they are killing maths\science
levels in CBSE and State Boards. Why?
The elitemen,
Ministers, IAS and ku-buddheejeevies send their
bright kids to ICSE, so that their kids will become more skilled. And will send
the elitemen\kubuddheejeevies
will send their less bright kids to CBSE, because the less bright kids may not
be able to cope up with the load of ICSE. Now can we commons do the same? Not
easily --- because the cheapest ICSE school is above Rs
50,000 per year for class-I. So not even 1% of us
commons can put our kids in ICSE schools. So as a result, commons will have no
choice but to send his bright as well as less bright kid to CBSE and State
Boards. So even potentially intelligent kids of us commons will remain less
skilled in maths\science.
This
is the reason why elitemen\kubuddheejeevies
are killing maths\science levels of CBSE and State
Boards and at the same time preserving and improving maths\science
education in ICSE schools.
Chap-55
explain why\how JEE is being killed.
Please send order to PM and Loksabha Speaker via SMS that your Yes\No sent via SMS on any bill presented in the Parliament should be posted on the website of Parliament. Pls also order CM\PM via SMS\email to print TCP-draft and “Right to Recall District Education Officer” draft in the Gazette. TCP-draft is given in section-1.3 of this book at http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm and RTR-DEO-draft is in section-30.2. Please also take a look at chap-13 of this book . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve sending necessary orders to PM and CMs via SMS, distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna, Arvind Gandhi etc. who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads, contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion RTR-CM, RTR Education Minister, RTR District Education Officer, Saatya System etc. drafts. And based on citizens’ opinion, the PM\CMs may decide whether these drafts should be printed in the Gazette.
