Roles of assistant education officers redefined
To tackle the issue, Zurmure has specified roles of assistant education officers. “Every ward will have one assistant education officer; working under him will be three or four supervisors; every supervisor will cover 8-10 schools. These supervisors in turn will visit each school, once a week and report about their specific issues to the assistant education officers,” Zurmure said. The inspection of the 307 schools began in the first week of July and ended last week.
This will be followed by meetings of the assistant education officers, supervisors and the deputy education officer for further action. There are currently 14 assistant education officers, three deputy education officers and one education officer. The assistant education officers will coordinate with the ward functionaries for various infrastructural facilities such as maintenance of civil structure, drainage, water supply, garbage disposal, water supply, encroachment of any kind and other basic facilities.
