The government has decided to merge the schools with less than 20 marks to form group schools. A proposal to convert 13 schools in the district into 3 group schools has been sent to the Director of Education. How deadly this decision is for the future of the students, will come to the fore in a few more years.
The information of Zilla Parishad primary schools which are less than 20 times in the district was collected by the Education Department. It was clear that hundreds of schools have low numbers. However, since Ratnagiri district is hilly, there will be a big problem of communication. Therefore, doing group schools will cause a huge loss to the students.
A group school is a school that brings together students from several schools. An intermediate school is selected at some distance from an area with a low number of schools, and students are provided with educational facilities in that school. Those students have to come to this school from their village.
