Representation Of Government Education System

When we studied about representation in our media theory so I thought that the representation which my reference films are dealing and I will also deal in my film should be examined by both the private education system and the government education system itself. In order to do that I interviewed one private school teacher and one government school teacher with very generalized questions so that they are not bound to answer according to my questions and can give their opinions freely. I asked the following 3 simple questions from them:

1. What is your name and how long have you been teaching?

2. What do you think are the problems of the government education system?

3. What do you think can be the solutions to these problems and who should take the initiative to solve these problems?

Above are the links of the videos I made of the interviews and below is the translation of the views of the government school teacher as she didn't know how to speak in English.

“My name is Nadia Ali Mohammed, I have been teaching in different government schools since 1975, thus having 37 years of experience. “

“Parents usually do not prefer sending their children to government schools due to the education standard; there is an absence of teachers in most of the schools and even if there are good schools? There would be either one or two that actually fulfills the purpose of proper education.”

“One of the major factors is that there are no regular visits/reviews by officials of the education sector as well as the headmaster/headmistress, thus it makes the teacher lose their talent which should be highlighted most in such a situation.”

“The second problem is that we know that at city district level teachers do not really get paid on the right time either its 15^th or 20^th of the month or even at times a whole month passes by and you do not get paid, also the students that come here to study, comes from different background, they come from places where usually gun fires are heard every now and then, their family environment does not support education parents themselves do not want their children to study …Reason is simply poverty, If there is a boy parents would simply ask him to earn 200/- per month “you want food or you want to study” they would say, so you see that’s the reason that due to poverty there are lesser number of male students. If few girls get education parents would simply say that “do your 10^th and get married”

“I think that the government should encourage parents to let their children come to school and get education, of course when parents will have good jobs they would defiantly want their children to get education. So ultimately poverty and uneducated parents are the cause here that discourages higher education, hardly 3-8 females do colleges here so lack of awareness and harsh environment does not let them study. “
