Only where the student strength is good enough, the senior most teacher of the school is appointed as the head teacher,“ director of education G P Bhat said. These teachers are paid only Rs 200 over and above their regular salaries to discharge the duties of a head teacher.<br /> <br /> Education officials inform that the state has not created posts of headmaster or head teacher in government primary schools over the years as a policy decision.<br /> <br /> “We have to look after ad ministrative work too like responding to official correspondence in addition to our teaching work,“ teacher from a rural single-teacher school said. There are 347 single teacher schools in Goa.<br /> <br /> This state policy of no headmaster in primary schools has meant that not just government but government aided private primary schools in Goa too have been lax in appointing a full-time head, leading to teachers being burdened with administrative jobs. Or where a schools is attached to a high school, the high school headmaster or headmistress, shuffles between both sections.<br /> <br /> According to the data of the Union human resource ministry's wing DISE for the year 2014-15, of all the primary schools in Goa with an enrolment of 150 students and above, as many as 62.50% are without a headmaster.This is much worse than the national average where 45% of all primary schools are without a head.<br /> <br /> At the high school level, where the state rules make it mandatory to have a head, the condition is much better with only around 25%</div>
