DHENKANAL: Around 700 students of the Kendriya Vidyalaya here are allegedly deprived of computer education despite paying the fees. In spite of several complaints to the principal, the school lacks adequate number of computers and teaching staff to train students in the subject. The students, from classes-X to XII are yet to realise the privilege of computer education at school, despite paying the stipulated fees of Rs 20 a month, for quite sometime now. Guardians, irate over the ill-equipped computer laboratory and lack of infrastructure, raised the issues at the Parents-Teachers Association meeting held recently at the school, in the presence of Principal J Tripathy. Irregular power supply and lack of infrastructure have hindered practical classes in computers for the students, Tripathy said, adding that Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) had been apprised of the situation. The parents also urged the principal to address issues like shortage of teachers for Social Studies, English, Hindi and Chemistry. The school lacks trained graduate and post-graduate teachers for these subjects. The posts have been lying vacant for long now.
