Director School Education Jammu assess working of schools in Reasi District, felicitates meritorious students

REASI: In a day marked by vigilance, vision, and an unwavering commitment to educational upliftment, Director School Education Jammu Naseem Javaid Chowdhary, undertook an extensive tour of District Reasi, inspecting institutions, interacting with students and staff, and felicitating meritorious achievers of Classes 10th and 12th.

The Director commenced the tour by felicitating the district toppers of Classes 10th and 12th—young scholars whose brilliance reflects the potential and promise of Reasi’s academic landscape. Their achievements, he noted, stand as quiet beacons reminding the system of its sacred duty: to nurture minds, not merely manage buildings.

At Government Girls Higher Secondary School Reasi, the Director undertook a comprehensive inspection of facilities including the Computer Lab, ICT Lab, Vocational Lab, and various curricular spaces. Interacting with staff and students, the Director underscored the need for clear-cut academic vision, structured planning, and collective responsibility for the enrichment of students and for the strengthening of the educational fabric of the district. 

He further ordered that a Financial and Administrative audit of the institution for the last three years be carried out, ensuring transparency and accountability in every sphere. On the spot, several instructions were issued for the upliftment of the school’s functioning, infrastructure, and student support mechanisms.

The Director later visited Government Higher Secondary School Boys Reasi, where he interacted extensively with both students and staff. He inspected the Biology, Physics, and Chemistry Laboratories, along with other academic and co-curricular sections of the school.  Attention was drawn to issues concerning campus maintenance, including the presence and removal of wild weed and other neglected areas requiring immediate redressal. He issued explicit instructions to the school administration to initiate corrective measures without delay.

Acknowledging the school’s strategic relevance, he instructed the administration to prepare a detailed action plan and enumerate the infrastructural and academic requirements so that the feasibility of converting the institution into a Composite School can be duly examined. 

In his message to Staff and Students, the Director said “A school is not brick and mortar; it is a living oath—an oath to knowledge, character, and the quiet dignity of learning. To the teachers, I say: walk ahead of your timetable; let your integrity be the first lesson your students learn each morning. To the students: remain curious, remain courageous. The world does not change in leaps; it changes through your small, persistent steps. Together, let us lift our schools, not as buildings, but as beacons.”
