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.
