Malda, Jan. 13 :    Malda, Jan. 13:  The state government's efforts to weed out private coaching will not be successful, at least not until members of the CPM-backed All-Bengal Teachers' Association give up teaching students privately on the sly. That is what West Bengal Board of Secondary Education president Haraprasad Samaddar, the man in charge of taking care of school education till class X, feels. 'Given the current socio-economic model, I don't feel that private coaching by teachers of schools can be checked altogether,' Samaddar said here today. 'What is more unfortunate is that ABTA members, despite the government's repeated warnings, are showing no signs of giving up the practice,' he regretted. The continuing intransigence of the ABTA members was becoming a major hurdle in the way of the state government's efforts to bring back tutorials to schools and weed out the practice that made the student-teacher relationship akin to a consumer-seller one, he said. Lining up major changes in the Bengali syllabus, the board president said only reading Tagore, Nazrul and Saratchandra would not do any more. 'Students should also have a fair idea of Sunil Gangopadhyay, Shakti Chattopadhyay and Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay,' he added. The board has decided to overhaul the Bengali syllabus this year, which will lead to major changes from the academic year starting 2003. 'Students should know what is happening in Bengali literature now besides knowing the classics,' Samaddar said. The board is also incorporating major changes in rules determining the procurement of books for students to weed out corruption. Rules in the present system - where the government supplies books only for students of classes IX and X - would be changed to enable the government to retain some sort of control in the procurement of books from class V itself, Samaddar said. The changes will start from 2003; initially, the government will restrict itself to supplying texts for Bengali and biology. 'The government will try to take charge of supplying all texts from class V upwards from the academic year 2004 onwards,' he added. 'We keep receiving complaints that schools change texts according to whims,' Samaddar added, explaining that money was often said to be the deciding factor.
