4. Equitable
Education
Samacheer Kalvi (Tamil: சமச்சீர் கல்வி) or Tamil
Nadu Uniform System of School
Education or Equitable education system is
a School Education Department of Government of
Tamil Nadu, India programme to integrate the various
school educational systems within the state.
There were over 1.2 crore students in four streams of
school education comprising about 45,000 state board
schools, 11,000 matriculation schools, 25 oriental
schools and 50 Anglo-Indian schools, with different
syllabus, textbooks and schemes of examinations.
Uniform System of School Education was implemented
by Tamil Nadu Uniform System of School Education
Act 2010 which paves way for quality education to all
children without any discrimination based on their
economic, social or cultural background.

5. Equitable Education
The new system of education was introduced for classes I and VI in the 2010
academic year.
The main need for this system to be proclaimed as the syllabus in Tamil Nadu, was
that all the school students must have uniform study, diminishing the variations
between the Matriculation or CBSE Students and the Government school Students.
Through this system of education, state board schools, matriculation schools,
Oriental schools and Anglo-Indian schools were provided with a single set and
textbook for teaching.

6. Active Learning
Methodology
ü The Active learning methodology is
the current breakthrough in learning
and teaching.
ü Ancient teaching was seen as a
teacher-centered method. In this
method only that teacher is
active but the students are inactive
(passive listeners).
ü This method is likely to cause
a recession in students' learning.

7. Active Learning Methodology
• But the active learning approach,
which is currently in practice, is
based on the student-centered
teaching method.
• This method engages the students in
the teaching of the teacher. The
teacher and the students are
very active.
• In this way students develop skills
such as reading, drawing, discussion
and writing.

8. Students
Assignments
 In ancient teaching, the teacher would
ask the students to learn and write the
topic which was discussed on that day.
 Nowadays, teachers urge
students to do lesson and
general activities to strengthen
the student's learning process
and develop students' ability
to explore, observe, reason and
explain.
 For example, mini project, models,
and collection of materials.

9. Modern
Curriculum
• In ancient times, the curriculum and the ideas
found in it were all created with the teacher's
activities or courses in mind.
• What the teacher taught in the classroom at that
time became the interpretation of the course
ideas.
• But in the present time, curriculum is developed
based on the activities of the students. It is the
student-centered curriculum. It emphasize
learning over teaching.
• The syllabus in the curriculum is based on the
student's activities, such as making small project
samples, collecting materials, and interpreting
them.

10. Innovation of
Evaluation
• In old days the assessment of
learning was determined by the
marks obtained by the learner in the
test which was conducted by the
teacher.
• It explains the quantitative analysis,
but the modern curriculum
emphasizes the new evaluation
functions.
• I.e. Continuous comprehensive
evaluation, and continuous internal
assessment. Through this the
activities of the students are
continuously evaluated on the basis
of merit and number.
