Hostel Management

In 1912, in Germany, Richard created the first permanent Youth Hostel. It was the ideology of the German Youth Movement to let poor city youngsters breathe fresh air outdoors.

A hostel is a place where usually students live. The hostel is supervised by an administration and living in those hostels is called the hostel life. Hostels are aimed at providing budget-oriented, sociable accommodation for students.

Hostels are generally aimed at providing economical and healthy environment for the students that is also safe for them.

Provision of necessary spaces, facilities and equipment

The facilities which hostels may provide and serve.

Boarders’ recreation

Facilities might include social space, television and games room(s), and access to nearby school cultural and sporting facilities and equipment. If the hostel is remotely located from the school, similar facilities might be provided at the hostel premises or Arrangements made for the boarders to have access to other local facilities

Quiet activities

Quiet places for study such as a ‘prep room’ or private spaces within or adjacent to

sleeping areas. Provision might also be made for access to a library, and computers for

research and recreation.

Food preparation

Facilities might include a place to make hot drinks and heat snack foods adjacent to recreation areas, and/or flat style accommodation with self-catering facilities. Student  access to the main hostel kitchen should be restricted because of food hygiene and health and safety concerns.

Eating

A common dining room or a flat-style accommodation with separate dining

facilities are two examples of what might be appropriate.

Dispensary and Cafeteria.

Time Table

Importance of Time Table

Time table is said to be the second clock which indicates all the activities undertaken in a school. It shows the hours of school work, kind of work or subjects, the teachers at work and at rest

Eliminates Wastage of Time and Energy

Ensures due attention to every Subject or Activity

Develops Moral Values

Psychological Value

It ensures equal distribution of time to different subjects and activities

Develops Good Habits

Advance Planning by the Teachers and Students

Form of a Time-table:

Ideally speaking there should be seven types of time-table:

(1) Master time indicating the entire programme of the school

(2) Class time-table.

(3) Teacher's time-table.

(4) Vacant period time-table.

(5) Games time-table

(6) Co curricular activities time-table.

(7) Home-work time-table.

Libraries

Similar was the case with libraries. Locked almirahs with old, outdated books and shiny

bound volumes mostly on Religion and Islamic History was the common scenario in the

libraries

Some institutions had a few recently published books related to the courses.

There was no open shelf library in any of the institutions, and no regular yearly allocation

for the purchase of books. No subscribed  educational magazines, nor were there any

efforts to obtain magazines gratis from donors.
