Role of Education for development of NationBy Dr.Faizan Ahmed Azizi

Education is milestone of every type of development. It is a vital investment for human and economic developmentand is influenced by the environment within which it exists. Changes in technology, labour market patterns andgeneral global environment, all require policy responses. Traditions, culture and faith all reflect upon the educationsystem and at the same time are also affected by them. The element of continuity and change remains perpetualand it is up to the society to determine its pace and direction.

Education provides all knowledge to do any work with systematic way. With education any country develops itseconomy and society. Education makes people perfect by providing large number of skills. Education createsawareness in the population that makes them self-reliance and self-dependent. Hence, education is essential forany country for its socio-economic and political development and stability.

Education plays such a vital role in our society that we cannot even imagine a life without it. It is a determinedelement for the civilization of human society. Not only does it help us develop healthy surroundings but it alsogenerates an advance community. As a matter of fact, everything we create today is based on the knowledge thatwe obtain throughout our life by way of education. This assists scientists in inventing equipment and devices,resulting in a high technology nowadays. More the advancement, the more necessary becomes education.

Although education has a significant influence on life, the average education is not the same in different areas. As aresult, strategies are being made to resolve the problems. Without education, life would be disastrous anddetrimental. Consequently, to this day, we are trying or best to make education global and accessible for everyoneparticularly the poor and the disabled. There are still some places where the inhabitants are almost completelyuneducated, causing a serious lack of knowledge. Additionally, every child should be given equal opportunities tolearn and study. Because the development of a country depends vastly on the standard of education, it must doeverything in its power to improve it. Although the educational systems of different countries are not similar butthey have to share a common goal which is to provide its citizens a suitable and proper learning system.

In conclusion, education is absolutely beneficial and essential for society on the whole. It is a life-long process toeach person that needs to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicateilliteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technicaleducation.

What India constitution says about Minorities Educational rights?By Dr.Faizan Ahmed Azizi

Minorities of any nation are integral part of their countries. They play a very vital role in every country’s political & socialupliftment, contributing significantly in the development of all countries .No society can develop if its minority populationis neglected and not given proper education.Over the years India has seen that Governments from time to time develop programmes & schemes for educationaldevelopment of Minorities. "All minorities…shall have the right to establish and administer education institutions of theirown"_____ is the mandate, as per Article 30(1) of the Constitution. Government is committed to address the existingbackwardness in education of minorities, especially the Muslims, constituting the major chunk of the minorities.Therefore, the Prime Minister's New 15 Point Programme, inter-alia, aims to enhance opportunities for education ofminorities ensuring an equitable share in economic activities and employment.

To address the low participation of the minorities especially Muslims who are the largest section of educationallybackward minorities, in the national education system, the Government of India and other organizations has takenseveral significant initiatives:-

Articles 29 and 30 of Indian Constitution guarantee the right of minorities to conserve the language, script and cultureand to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice whether based on religion or language. So far aslinguistic minorities are concerned the following constitutional guarantees have been provided which are in addition toarticles relating to fundamental rights in part III of the Constitution:-

(i) Article 29. Protection of interests of minorities.(a) Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script orculture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same.(b) No citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution. maintained by the State or receiving aid out ofState funds on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language or any of them.(ii) Article 30. Right of Minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.(a) All minorities, whether based on religion-or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educationalinstitutions of their choice.(b) The State shall not in granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on theground that it is under the management of minority, whether based on religion or language.(iii) Article 350 A. Facilities for instruction in mother-tongue at primary stage.(a) It shall be the endeavour of every State and of every local authority within the State to provide adequate facilities forinstruction in the mother-tongue at the primary stage of education to children belonging to linguistic minority groups;and the President may issue such directions to any State as he considers necessary or proper for securing theprovision of such facilities.

The implementation of the above guarantees has been uneven although the various Conferences of Education Ministers,116 Government of India memorandum of 1956 as also the statement on languages in 1958 etc., have been layingemphasis on the special treatment to linguistic minorities.1. According to 1981 Census, the religious minorities constitute about 17.4% of the population of which Muslims are11.4%, Christians 2.4%, Sikhs 2%, Buddhists 0.7% and Jains 0.5%. Ministry of Home Affairs have identified Muslimsand Neo-Buddhists as educationally backward at national level. It was agreed that the State Governments may alsoidentify other groups which are educationally backward at the State level. Special efforts need to be taken to bring theseeducationally backward minorities on par with the rest of the society and to make them participate fully in the nationaldevelopmental activities.2. The National Policy on Education 1986 states the following regarding education of minorities vide para 4.8 of thedocument: "Some minority groups are educationally deprived or backward. Greater attention will be paid to theeducation of these groups in the interest of equality and social justice. This will naturally include the constitutionalguarantees given to them to establish and administer their own educational institutions, and protection to theirlanguages and culture. Simultaneously, objectivity will be reflected in the preparation of text books and in all schoolactivities and all possible measures will be taken to promote an integration based on appreciation of common nationalgoals and ideals, in conformity with the core curriculum."

Schemes by Ministry of Human Resource Development Govt .of India

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

SSA has been operational since 2000-2001 to provide for a variety of interventions for universal access and retention, bridging of gender and socialcategory gaps in elementary education and improving the quality of learning. SSA interventions include inter alia, opening of new schools and alternateschooling facilities, construction of schools and additional classrooms, toilets and drinking water, provisioning for teachers, periodic teacher training andacademic resource support, textbooks and support for learning achievement. With the passage of the RTE Act, changes have been incorporated into theSSA approach, strategies and norms. The changes encompass the vision and approach to elementary education, guided by the following principles:(i) Holistic view of education, as interpreted in the National Curriculum Framework 2005, with implications for a systemic revamp of the entire contentand process of education with significant implications for curriculum, teacher education, educational planning and management.(ii) Equity, to mean not only equal opportunity, but also creation of conditions in which the disadvantaged sections of the society – children of SC, ST,Muslim minority, landless agricultural workers and children with special needs, etc. – can avail of the opportunity.(iii) Access, not to be confined to ensuring that a school becomes accessible to all children within specified distance but implies an understanding of theeducational needs and predicament of the traditionally excluded categories – the SC, ST and others sections of the most disadvantaged groups, theMuslim minority, girls in general, and children with special needs.(iv) Gender concern, implying not only an effort to enable girls to keep pace with boys but to view education in the perspective spelt out in the NationalPolicy on Education 1986 /92; i.e. a decisive intervention to bring about a basic change in the status of women.(v) Centrality of teacher, to motivate them to innovate and create a culture in the classroom, and beyond the classroom, that might produce an inclusiveenvironment for children, especially for girls from oppressed and marginalised backgrounds.(vi) Moral compulsion is imposed through the RTE Act on parents, teachers, educational administrators and other stakeholders, rather than shiftingemphasis on punitive processes.(vii) Convergent and integrated system of educational management is pre-requisite for implementation of the RTE law. All states must move in thatdirection as speedily as feasible.

Saakshar BharatThe Mission goes beyond ‘3’ R’s (i.e. Reading, Writing & Arithmetic) ; for it also seeks to create awareness of social disparities and a person’sdeprivation on the means for its amelioration and general well being. The Central and State Governments, Panchayati Raj Institutions, NGOs and CivilSociety need to work in unison to realize dream to create a “literate India”. Saakshar Bharat has been formulated with the objective of achieving 80%literacy level by 2012 at national level, by focusing on adult women literacy seeking – to reduce the gap between male and female literacy to not morethan 10 percentage points . The mission has four broader objectives, namely imparting functional literacy and numeracy to non-literates; acquiringequivalency to formal educational system; imparting relevant skill development programme; and promote a leaning society by providing opportunities forcontinuing education. The principal target of the mission is to impart functional literacy to 70 million non-literate adults in the age group of 15 years andbeyond. The mission will cover 14 million SCs, 8 million STs, 12 million minorities & 36 million others. The overall coverage of women will be 60million. 410 districts belonging to 26 States/UTs of the country have been identified to be covered under Saakshar Bharat.Eligibility criteria for coverage under Saakshar Bharat. - A district, including a new district carved out of an erstwhile district that had adult female literacyrate of 50 per cent or below, as per 2001 census, is eligible for coverage under the Saakshar Bharat programme. In addition, all left wing extremism-affected districts, irrespective of their literacy rate, are also eligible for coverage under the programme. There were 365 districts in the country that hadadult female literacy rate of 50 per cent or below. Home Ministry has declared 35 districts as left wing extremism affected districts. However, 30 leftwing extremism affected districts also had adult female literacy of 50 per cent or below. Therefore, 370 is the net number of districts that qualify forcoverage under the programme. Since 2001, several eligible districts have been bifurcated or trifurcated. This has raised the total number of eligibledistricts to 410 out of which 35 are left wing extremism affected districts. Programme provides for coverage of only rural areas in the eligible districts

Mahila Samakhya Programme“Education will be used as an agent of basic change in the status of woman. In order to neutralise the accumulated distortions of the past, there will be a

well-conceived edge in favour of women. The National Education System will play a positive, interventionist role in the empowerment of women. It willfoster the development of new values through redesigned curricula, textbooks, the training and orientation of teachers, decision-makers andadministrators, and the active involvement of educational institutions. This will be an act of faith and social engineering…” NPE, 1986The National Policy on Education, 1986 recognised that the empowerment of women is possibly the most critical pre-condition for the participation ofgirls and women in the educational process.

The model AICTE curricula in engineering adapted by major affiliating universities, such as Anna University, Vishveshwarya Technical Universityand Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University were used to design the course content.The Programme was formally launched by the erstwhile Minister for Human Resource Development, Late Shri Arjun Singh, on September 3, 2006 in IITMadras. The contents are currently made available to everyone in India and abroad through the websitehttp://nptel.iitm.ac.in maintained by IIT Madras.The video lectures are currently being broadcast through the Eklavya channel and approximately 50 engineering institutions in the country have set uptheir own receivers with a dish antenna to receive the signal in their own campuses.More than 500 faculties are expected to participate in the Project and the beneficiaries of the Programme will be all engineering and physical sciencesunder-graduates/post graduates in the country; all teachers/faculties in science and engineering Universities in India. The goal of the Project is to build onthe programme launched on 03.09.2006 in NPTEL Phase-I and create on-line course contents and interactions between faculty members in science andengineering using the best academics in India.

Indian National Digital Library in Engineering, Science & Technology (INDEST-AICTE) ConsortiumThe Ministry of Human Resource Development has set up the “Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology (INDEST-AICTE)Consortium”. The Ministry provides funds for access to electronic resources and databases to centrally funded institutions. The benefit of consortia-based subscription to electronic resources is also extended to all educational institutions under its open-ended proposition. AICTE approved Govt./Govt.aided engineering colleges are getting access to selected electronic resources with support from the AICTE and number of other engineering colleges andinstitutions have already joined the consortium on their own. A mechanism is in place wherein this consortium takes advantage of collective bargainingand passes on the benefit of e-journals to subscribing members. (indest.iitd.ac.in)

National Programme of Earthquake Engineering Education (NPEEE)After the Gujarat Earthquake in January, 2001 and Orissa cyclone in the year 2000 a comprehensive National Programme on Earthquake EngineeringEducation (NPEEE) was launched by MHRD in 2003 with the seven IITs and IISc, Bangalore, as resource institutes. IIT Kanpur is the CoordinatingInstitute. The programme is open to all recognized engineering colleges/ polytechnics and schools of architecture having related academic degree ordiploma programme, irrespective of whether these are government funded or privately funded. The objectives of NPEEE are (a) to train the teachers ofengineering colleges, polytechnics and schools of architecture, and (b) to develop suitable curriculum.A few lead institutions in the country helped the faculty development in other institutions. This would help train the engineering college teachers throughshort and long-term training under a centrally funded programme. Activities under this National Initiative include:Faculty development through short-term crash programmes and long-term programmes.Development of resource materials / textbooks etc.Development of library resources in technical institutions.Faculty exchanges between lead institutions and other institutions in the country, and the academia-industry exchanges.International exchanges wherein renowned experts from abroad can visit Indian institutions for varying duration for teaching and research, and younger

Indian teachers/ professionals could spend time in top international institutions in this subject.Basic teaching laboratories may be funded at different engineering institutions. At the lead institutions, the proposed programme may fund developmentof major research laboratories that would be used by other institutions also.Through the first phase of the Programme, the initiative has been to build capacity in Earthquake Engineering in the country and enhance country’spreparedness to cope with earthquakes in future without avoidable loss of life and property. First phase was ended in June 2007.

Technology Development MissionIn 1993, the Technology Development Missions (TDM) started at all the IITs and IISc with the objective of a concerted national effort towards technologydevelopment with direct involvement and participation of industries. Several mission projects, with well-defined goals, milestones and deliverables wereidentified in areas of national importance. Two or more academic institutions and industries collaborated in most of the mission projects. The funding tothese mission areas was as follows:Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) funded these projects to the tune of Rs. 50.00 crores.Industry participants contributed about Rs. 9.00 crores in addition to support in terms of equipment, components, manpower and hardware etc. worthRs. 15.00 crores.The most important aspect of this mission was a significant effort on the part of the Government in encouraging industry-institute interaction as well asassisting industry in developing the latest technology. This was first time that mission oriented programs were successfully taken jointly with industry.The TDM-I was successful and highly appreciated in the National Steering Committee meeting of the Planning Commission held on August 06, 1999 atNew Delhi. TDM-I resulted in development and transfer of several technologies to Industry viz.:

Automation of power distribution1. An immuno diagnostic test for AIDS2. Vaccine for Hepatitis-B3. Supercritical fluid extraction technology4. Controlled atmosphere storage technology for food grains5. The first 50 kg payload robot

59 | P a g e

6. Automated monitoring systems7. Squeeze casting technology for metal matrix composite piston8. Environment friendly vapour compression heat pump assisted dryer for agricultural products, etc.

Most of the deliverables were achieved. Subsequent increase in industry-sponsored research at IITs and IISc confirmed that the TDM-I program fosteredan environment of faith in capabilities of Indian academic institutions to solve current technology problems of the industry and help them in developingnewer technologies and products. Some of the significant benefits from TDM-I were:

1. Industry and IITs collaborated on such mission-oriented programmes for the first time2. Industry was convinced about the capabilities of IITs and IISc in solving technological problems and to undertake development of new

products successfully3. Increase in the number of Industry- sponsored research at IITs and IISc4. Enhanced academic collaboration among these top Institutes

Direct Admission of Students Abroad:This scheme of the MHRD is aimed at helping seekers of global technical education become a part of the high quality technical education provided atIndian institutions. The scheme, mainly aimed at seeking admissions for the Engineering Programs, was started in 2001 and since then, it has offeredadmission to scores of undergraduate students in NITs, IIITs and other premier technical institutions in the country. The Scheme is applicable toNRIs/PIOs as well as foreign nationals.

The Government of India has entrusted the coordination of the admission process under DASA scheme to NITK, Surathkal from academic year 2010-11.

Scheme for Upgrading existing Polytechnics to Integrate the Physically Disabled in the mainstream of Technical and Vocational Education:This scheme has been formulated with the aim to integrate physically disabled persons into the mainstream through technical and Vocational Education.Under the scheme, 50 existing polytechnics in different locations of the country have been selected for upgradation so as to enable them to introduce

technical/vocational and continuing education programmes for the persons with disabilities. The scheme is targeted to benefit around 1250 disabledstudents every year in the formal diploma level courses and 5000 students in short duration technical/vocational courses. The selected polytechnics willalso conduct research and tracer studies relating to education and training, utilization, employability, etc. of students with disabilities and developinstitutional environment which gradually reduces discrimination and disparities and integrates the students with disabilities with the main stream oftechnical and vocational education. In initial stages certain polytechnics had some constraints in running the formal and non-formal courses.

Setting up 20 new IIITsTo address the challenges faced by the lndian IT industry and growth of the domestic IT market, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD),

Government of India intends to establish twenty lndian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), on a Not-for-profit Public Private Partnership (N-PPP)basis. The partners in setting up the IllTs would be the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Governments of the respective States whereeach lllT will be established, and the industry.A major objective in establishing IllTs is to set up a model of education which can produce best-in-classhuman resources in IT and harnessing the multidimensional facets of IT in various domains. While the number of students produced by these IIITs wouldbe small, the impact they create would be great.

Revision of Cost NormsInitially the admissible unit cost for construction of a 100 bedded hostel, including boundary wall, boring hand-pump, electricity, furniture and equipmentsetc. was fixed at Rs.42.5 lakh. During the appraisal process, most of the State Governments had expressed their reservation regarding the inadequatecost norms and requested for increasing the cost norms, preferably based on State Schedule of Rates (SOR). The matter was carefully considered in theMinistry and it was proposed to revise the construction cost under the Girls’ Hostel Scheme to permit construction of Hostel as per State Schedule ofRates. An EFC proposal to revise some norms of Girls’ Hostel Scheme including the cost norms for construction of hostels was sent to Ministry ofFinance, Department of Expenditure, through IFD in March, 2011 to convene EFC meeting. Ministry of Finance vide their O.M. dated 30-5-2011 hasconveyed its concurrence to the State Schedule of Rates to be used for construction of hostels, including the hostels already sanctioned in 2009-10 and 2010-11 as per the specific detailed norms for a 100 bedded hostel.Sharing PatternCentral government will bear 90% of the recurring and non-recurring project cost. 10% will be borne by the State Govts.Project Approval BoardA Project Approval Board headed by the Secretary, School Education & Literacy, MHRD will examine the proposals received from various States/UTGovernments. The Committee will include, Joint Secretary (Secondary Education), JS and FA, Ministry of Human Resource Development, representativeof Planning Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Women and Child Development and National Commission for Women besides representative ofStates/UT Governments.Implementing AgencyThe Scheme is to be implemented by the State Government societies established for implementation of the Scheme. The Central share is released to theState Government, who in turn releases it to implementing agency. The applicable State share is released to the implementing agency by the respectiveState governments.

Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Incentives to Girls for Secondary Education”1. Introduction: The Finance Minister in his budget announcement 2006-07 (Para-38-Credit of funds under Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas) has inter-alia stated as under: - “The initial results of the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme launched in 2004 are encouraging. 1,000 new residentialschools for girls from SC, ST, OBC and Minority communities will be opened in 2006-07. I have provided Rs.128 crore, and I have agreed to provide anadditional sum of Rs.172 crore during the year. I propose to provide a further Incentive to the girl child who passes the VIII Standard Examination andenrolls in secondary school. A sum of Rs.3, 000 will be deposited in her name, and she would be entitled to withdraw it on reaching 18 years of age.”

2. Background: The above announcement has been made to promote the girl child’s enrolment of 14-18 years age group at secondary stage, whopasses class VIII and subsequently drops out for various socio-economic reasons. The proposed scheme is further intended to retain such girl child upto class XII. In the year 2004-05, the drop out rates of girls from classes I-VIII was about 50.8%. For classes I-X the drop out rate of girls was about 64 %in the same year. Hence, only 36% of the country’s girl students could be retained up to class-X. This is the combined result of several socio economicfactors, but a major contributor is no doubt the inability of the parents to afford the cost of education of girl child.

3. Objective: To establish an enabling environment to reduce the drop outs and to promote the enrolment of girl child belonging to SC/ST communities insecondary schools and ensure their retention up to the 18 years of age.

4. Target Group and components: 4.1 The Scheme will cover (i) all SC/ST girls who pass class VIII and (ii) girls, who pass class VIII examination fromKasturba Gandhi Balika Vidhalayas (irrespective of whether they belong to Scheduled Castes or Tribes) and enroll for class IX in State/UT Government,Government-aided or local body schools in the academic year 2008-09 onwards. Married girls will be excluded from the scheme. Girl children studyingin private unaided schools are proposed to be excluded since a majority of such schools charge high fees and therefore, parents of such girl studentsmay not require the financial assistance that is being offered under this scheme. Students enrolled in schools run by Central Government are also beingexcluded from the scheme, as these children are either fully provided for already, or are those of Central Government employees, who can affordeducation of their children, without further support. 2 4.2 The girl child receiving incentive may be entitled to draw the amount on attainment of 18 yearsof age. The amount of incentive may be transferred to the Central Government’s account in the unfortunate event of the death of the student beforeattaining the age of 18 years. 4.3 To be eligible for the benefit under the scheme the girl should be unmarried and should be below 16 years of age (as on31st March) on joining class IX. The target group is estimated to be 11.72 lakh, 12.31 lakh, 12.92 lakh and 13.57 lakh girls in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 respectively. In addition, the scheme is made applicable to the girls, who pass class VIII examination from Kasturba Gandhi BalikaVidhyalayas irrespective of whether they belong to Scheduled Castes or Tribes. This target group will be 11.91 lakhs, 12.50 lakhs, 13.12 lakhs and 13.78lakhs girls in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010 - 11 and 2011-12 respectively. Since, SC/ST girls of KGBVs are already counted, the additional financialimplication will be on account of non-SC/ST girls in KGBVs which are estimated as 0.185 lakh, 0.194 lakh, 0.204 lakh and 0.214 lakh in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 respectively. Total financial implication of the scheme in the remaining four years of 11th Five Year Plan will be Rs.1556.73crore, which is Rs. 56.73 crore more to Rs. 1500.00 crore allotted for the scheme in 11th Five Year Plan. 4.4 1% of the total incentive amount each yearwill be spent on administration, monitoring and evaluation.4.5 There would be no restriction based on income criteria for grant of incentive to girls, because SC/ST girls and girls passing out from KGBVs andstudying in Government, Government-aided and local body schools would generally be from disadvantaged section of the society.

5. Implementation PartnersState/ UT Governments, Schools controlled and managed by State Governments, Local Bodies and Aided Private Schools and Panchayati Raj Institutionswill be the implementing partners. The amount of incentive may be released to the State/ UT Governments for depositing, the same in favour of theeligible girls.

6. Financial ParametersA sum of Rs. 3000 (Rupees three thousand only) would be deposited under term deposit/ fixed deposit in a public sector bank or in a post office in thename of every eligible girl child. The term/ period of the deposit may be counted from the date of deposit to the date on which the girl child attains the ageof 18 years. No premature withdrawal will be allowed.

7. Process of Execution: 7.1 Every implementing school may prepare a proposal for release of amount of incentive after proper examining the eligibilitycriteria and submit it to the State Governments/ UTs through proper channel. 7.2 State/ UT Governments will send a consolidated proposal to theDepartment of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, New Delhi indicating the followings:

In addition, the States/ UT Governments may berequired to submit Progress Reports every quarter.13.2 By the end of the academic year, third party “process evaluation” should be undertaken on sample basis.14. Wide PublicityWide publicity would be planned to familiarize the scheme among intended beneficiaries.15. Review of the SchemeThe scheme will be rigorously evaluated after two years through appropriate independent agencies in order to further improve the same in future.

Model School Scheme“The Model School scheme was launched in November 2008 in pursuance to the announcement of the Prime Minister in his Independence Day speech

of 2007. The scheme aims to provide quality education to talented rural children through setting up of 6,000 model schools as benchmark of excellenceat block level at the rate of one school per block. The scheme has the following objectives:i. To have at least one good quality senior secondary school in every block.ii. To have a pace setting roleiii. To try out innovative curriculum and pedagogyiv. To be a model in infrastructure, curriculum, evaluation and school governanceThe scheme has two modes of implementation, viz. (i) 3,500 schools are to be set up in as many educationally backward blocks (EBBs) throughState/UT Governments, and (ii) the remaining 2,500 schools are to be set up under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode in blocks which are noteducationally backward. The State Sector component for setting up of model schools in EBBs through State/UT Governments is being implemented from

63 | P a g e

2009-10 and implementation of the PPP component for setting up of model schools in blocks which are not educationally backward has been initiatedfrom 2012-13.

Scheme for setting up of 6000 Model Schools at Block Level as benchmark of excellence1. Background:Secondary education was not a thrust area during the Tenth Plan period. There were a few small schemes to enhance access and to improve quality, butthe coverage was neither large nor comprehensive. The plan schemes concentrated on continuing the school systems run by autonomousorganizations of MHRD and included efforts for integrated education for the disabled, girls education through provision of hostel facilities, use of ICT inschools, vocationalisation of higher secondary education and open and distance learning.1.2. Since universalisation of elementary education has become a Constitutional mandate, it is absolutely essential to push this vision forward to movetowards universalisation of secondary education, which has already been achieved in a large number of developed countries and several developingcountries. Paras 5.13 – 5.15 of the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 (as modified in 1992) deal with Secondary Education. Para 5.13 of theNPE, inter- alia, stated that, “Access to Secondary Education will be widened with emphasis on enrolment of girls, SCs and STs, particularly in science,commerce and vocational streams……..”.1.3. CABE Committees1.3.1. A Committee of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE), the highest deliberative body in secondary education, on “Universalisation ofSecondary Education” was constituted in September 2004. The Committee in its report submitted in June 2005, inter alia, had recommended certainnorms regarding facilities in Secondary Schools. These norms are broadly based on the norms for Kendriya Vidyalayas.1.3.2. Besides the Committee on Universalisation of Secondary Education, CABE had also, at the same time, set up another Committee on “Girls‟Education & Common School System”. The Committee has recommended, inter alia, that: “…….State should invest in public schools system withstandards, norms, building, etc., with the same standards as that of Kendriya Vidyalayas”.1.4. The Central Government is committed to make secondary education of good quality available, accessible and affordable to all young persons. Amajor initiative for expanding secondary education will be taken up in the 11th Plan. The norm would be to provide a secondary school within 5 KMs.and a higher secondary school within a distance of 7-8 KM of every habitation by the end of 11th Five Year Plan. The GER of secondary education istargeted to increase from 52% in 2004-05 to 75% in 2011-12. Similarly, GER for higher secondary level is targeted from 28% to 45-50% during the 11thPlan. The general objective is to universalise secondary education (up to class 10) by the end of the 12th Plan. During the 11th Plan, while access tosecondary education will be universalised, there will be adequate focus on quality improvement. Not only universal enrolment, but universal retentionand satisfactory quality of learning will be the priority. In spite of the effort to expand access to quality secondary education, there will be need to havehigh quality schools for talented rural children, who may not be in a position to access quality schools in urban areas, without compromisingGovernment’s commitment to common school system.2. Prime Minister’s Independence Day Announcement2.1. Prime Minister in his Independent Speech, 2007, has, inter alia, stated, as under: “I request states to give priority to education, as education alone isthe foundation on which a progressive, prosperous society can be built. Growing revenue earnings have improved the fiscal capacity of the States. Theymust now give priority to education. Towards this end, our Government has decided to invest in setting up good quality schools across the country. Wewill support 6,000 new high quality schools – one in every block of the country. Each such school will set standards of excellence for otherschools in the area.”2.2. In the meeting of the full Planning Commission held on 13.9.2007, the Prime Minister in his opening remarks has, inter alia, stated “To kick startthe initiative, the proposal for setting up 6000 high quality model schools with costs to be shared by the Centre and the State needs to finalized withinthe next few weeks. The mechanism for setting up and managing these schools – whether in the government sector or through private partnership insome aspects – should be worked out by MHRD in consultation with the Planning Commission. It must be recognized that about 60% of secondaryschools are under private management and the Ministry and the Planning Commission should focus on incorporating the role of the private sectorwherever possible. An outline of the proposal should be available within two months.”3. The concept of Model school: Basically a model school will have infrastructure and facilities of the same standard as in a Kendriya Vidyalaya and with

stipulations on pupil -teacher ratio, ICT usage, holistic educational environment, appropriate curriculum and emphasis on output and outcome. Some ofthe key features of a model school will be:(i) Education provided in a Model school should be holistic and integral touching upon physical, emotional and aesthetic development in addition to

academics.(ii) Either brand new schools may be established or existing schools may be converted in to Model schools.(iii) Necessary infrastructure will be provided in such schools not only for satisfying teaching needs, but also for sports and co-curricular activities.

There will be sufficient scope for sports, recreation and out door activities. Facilities like play ground, gardens, auditorium etc. will be provided inModel schools.(iv) The curriculum should cast the local culture and environment and learning should be activity based.(v) These schools will have adequate ICT infrastructure, Internet connectivity and full time computer teachers.(vi) The Teacher Pupil Ratio should not exceed 1:25 and the classrooms will be spacious enough to accommodate at least 30 students. However,

classroom-students ratio will not exceed 1:40.(vii) These schools will be provided with Arts and Music Teachers besides subject specific teachers as per the usual norms. These schools will also

create facility for activities emphasizing Indian heritage and art & craft.(viii) Special emphasis may be given on teaching of Science, Maths and English. If required, bridge-courses may be introduced for weak students.(ix) The school curricula should include the material/items that inculcate leadership qualities, team spirit, participation abilities, development of soft

skills and ability to deal with real life situations.(x) Health Education and health check up will be introduced in these schools.(xi) A good library with books and magazines for students and teachers will be provided.(xii) Field trips and educational tours will be an integral part of the curriculum.(xiii) Medium of instruction will be left to State Governments. However, special emphasis will be given on English teaching & spoken English.(xiv) Affiliation of these schools to a particular examination board will be left to State Governments.

(xv) Selection of students will be though independent selections test.(xvi) Selection of Principals and Teachers will also be through an independent process to be developed in consultation with State Governments.(xvii) Model schools will have appropriate pace setting activities so that schools in the neighbourhood can benefit.

4. Implementation4.1. 3500 of the 6000 model schools will be set up in the Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs) on Kendriya Vidyalaya template. Another 2,500
