School Education Department (SED) launched its most comprehensive feedback app for students to assess the teachers overall performance in both curricular and extra curricular activities. Of late, government has trailblazed the initiative in all government schools stretching from class 6th upto senior secondary level by enabling them to provide monthly feedback on teacher performance.Such apps can surely avail the improvement in academic side. The SHIMESHA presents various questionaries based on teacher performance,morning assembly, school activities,infrastructure etc. While using this app the student has to insert their alloted username and password, afterwords an OTP is being send, after putting it, an interface with different questions would be displayed on the screen. The questionaries are available in many languages like, English, Urdu and Hindi. This has been devised more friendly and easy for the students.Students without any fear and pressure can fill the feedback about those who are supposed to teach them.There is 5-point scale students can grade like, excellent,very good, good, average and below average.This online plateform has received an overwhelming response from various quarters.
Notably these initiatives can bring the accountability among the teaching faculty, but contrary, it will have profound repercussions. Those teachers who used to apply the reinforcement while dealing with the students may definitely mend to behave. Empowering on the one side is not bad, but on the other side it can definitely have negativity. Here it is worthwhile to mention those teachers who have been tirelessly putting their efforts and energy in building the promoting the good manners among students. Students held their teachers in high esteem and respect. They have been always on toes to build the harmonies development of the student.
This is the holistic approach which aims to foster the continuous improvements in education system and promote overall development. This monthly feedback clearly allows the education department to know the appropriate teacher performance and other school related aspects. Such initiatives by SED will help to reach the micro and macro level shortcomings in pedagogies and thus paves way for redressing Or suggesting measures at grassroot level.Questions are being raised from the commoner over the performance of teachers. There is no denying fact that society has been enlightened by these Gurus who not only provide us great intellectuals but also great scientists as well. It has been observed from last few days that some selected sections of the society raised their fingers over dereliction of duties by teachers and they thought that Shimeksha could be powerful tool to curb their lackadaisical approach towards their profession, but this thing is absolutely out of the box. Teachers have been always dedicated towards their profession. They have never compromised with what they have been supposed. They are the beacons and torch bearers who painstakingly engaged our future generations on the right path. Their role in building the developed society can never be ruled out.
The most distinctive feature of this new devised platform must be judiciously utilized in schools inorder to ascertain it’s advantages at fullest. Student should be left at liberty while submitting their feedbacks. Impartiality is the essence of this initiative.May this app act as a bridge for reformation rather than repugnance.
