Non-Functional School Libraries: Major Cause of Quality Reduction of Public Education in Kerala, Academic Library Association (ALA)
by Dr. A.T. Francis 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Dear professionals, Non-functional school libraries are the major cause of quality reduction in public education in Kerala, the Annual Conference of the Academic Library Association (ALA) held on 1st June 2014 at St. ThomasCollege, Thrissur evaluated. The conference also found that School libraries confined only in some shelves causes major quality reduction not only in school education but also in higher education. As a fruitful measure to save the Kerala Syllabus Schools, the meeting urged the government to renovate the libraries with all modern facilities and made functional by posting qualified library science teachers in all schools. As the role of libraries in student centred education is very high, all CBSE, ICSE and International schools have very good libraries with library education teachers of equal qualification and cadre of other subject teachers. These schools have library periods not less than one hour per week for teaching-learning through libraries. But state controlled schools did not have this provision which adversely affects the reading and learning capability of the pupil. At the time of Pre-Degree, students could use college libraries with better facilities. Now, even in higher secondary schools did not have any functional library facility with qualified librarian. The conference was inaugurated by A. Abdul Razak, Chief Librarian, KeralaAgriculturalUniversity. ALA State President Dr. A.T. Francis presided and P.A. Pradeep, General Secretary presented report. Mujib Rahiman, Librarian, Kendriya Vidyala, Kanjikkode delivered Key Note address. V.S. Swapna, K. Rajendran, K.V. Alphonsa, Fr. Ditto Thomas, K.V. Elizabath, R. Parvathy, Smini Paul, Dr. B. Shaji and K.D. Anto spoke. Dr. A.T.
