People of the area too have raised concerns about the education stranded in the Gool sub-division. They hold the education department responsible for the poor performance of the government schools in the area.

“The department has failed in providing adequate teaching staff in the schools and this has resulted in dismal performance,” they said.

The locals have appealed to the Director School Education Jammu and other concerned senior officers in the J&K administration to focus to redress their grievance pertaining to shortage of teaching staff in the schools to improve the derailing education system.
