The document proposes a project to enhance the quality of primary education in India by providing free, quality education to children and women through a joint effort between the government, volunteers, students, retired teachers, and NGOs to address issues like declining learning rates, poor infrastructure in government schools, and increasing private school enrollment. The project aims to enroll 3 million children and 2 million women in primary education programs staffed by managers, coordinators, teachers, and retired teachers providing instruction and infrastructure support funded through government support, private donations, and partnerships with NGOs.

2. Nationally, the proportion of children (age 6 to 14) who are not
enrolled in school has gone up slightly, from
3.3% in 2011 to 3.5% in 2012.
Private school enrollment in rural India is increasing or about 10% every year or about 3 percentage
points per year. In election year of 2014, about 41% of all of India’s primary age children will be in private
schools
Inspite of huge efforts of government to provide education there is a lot more to be achieved:
The rate of learning has started declining over the year 2010 due to lack of government control to the educational projects
introduced as well as increase in the population rate
Many projects have lacked to complete there agenda, even are now competing hard to work as the plan says.
An project planning and implementation gap led to such cause of increase.
Government schools have poor infrastructural facilities. A survey suggests that 95.2% of schools do not meet the
RTE infrastructure indicators.

3. Solution: Providing primary education to children as well as
woman, with joint venture of government, volunteer,
students and NGO’s.
Joint effort of government and public
•Providing quality primary education to children and woman.
•Free of cost education with study material.
•Incorporating volunteers , graduated students and skilled teachers.
• Merits over existing
projects

4. Project model
Retired teachers cum students to impart skill. The key aim of the Education
Project is that delegates leave equipped with the information and insights,
and more importantly, with the commitments, partnerships and backing they
need to enable them to make real changes. The top-performing school
systems consistently attract more able people into the teaching profession,
leading to better student outcomes. They do this by making entry to teacher
training highly selective, developing effective processes for selecting the right
applicants to become teachers, and paying good (but not great) starting
compensation. Getting those essentials right drives up the status of the
profession, enabling it to attract even better candidates.
Infrastructure as well as study material facility.
Concerning the quality education for Educationally Backward Blocks(EBB’s).

5. • The only way to improve outcomes is to improve instruction
• The top-performing school systems recognize that the only way to improve outcomes is
to improve instruction: learning occurs when students and teachers interact, and thus
to improve learning implies improving the quality of that interaction. They have
understood which interventions are effective in achieving this – coaching classroom
practice, moving teacher training to the classroom, developing stronger school leaders,
and enabling teachers to learn from each other – and have found ways to deliver these
interventions throughout their school system.
• Concerning the quality education for Educationally Backward
Blocks(EBB’s)
• Getting the right people to become teachers and developing them into effective
instructors gives school systems the capacity they need to deliver the improved
instruction that leads to improved outcomes. High-performing school systems go
further than this and put in place processes which are designed to ensure that every
child is able to benefit from this increased capacity.
Project model cont..

6. • These systems set high expectations for what
each and every child should achieve, and then
monitor performance against the expectations,
intervening whenever they are not met. High
performing school systems construct effective
interventions at the level of the school,
identifying schools that are not performing
satisfactorily, and intervening to raise standards
of performance. The very best systems intervene
at the level of the individual student, developing
processes and structures within schools that are
able to identify whenever a student is starting to
fall behind, and then intervening to improve that
child’s performance.
Project model cont..

7. • Project involves 3 level staffing process:
Managers
coordinators
teachers
• Chief controller
• Regional or state
recruitment team
• Retired teachers
• Co-ordination team
• Staffing manager
• Graduated students
• Skilled teachers
• students

8. Sources of finance:
• Government support is the main source of finance approx 1.cr.
Per annum is the minimum requirement .
• Private support from students and volunteers to contribute.
• Using social media as advertisement sources like facebook ,
Twitter e.t.c could prove to be a good source to share or
advertise about the project so as to attract some contributors
which would be strengthning the project financially as well as
helps in spreading the knowledge.
• Working with NGO’s will provide a great support so as the
provides the human resource as well as strengthen our project.

9. The project will provide a great thrust in
literacy ratio in following ways:
• It increases the enrollment of students as well as woman.
• Increases the literacy ratio.
• Provides quality education.
• Provides education to 3 million children and 2 million woman.
• Project provides the employment to students, graduated
students .
• Projects meets the educations standards hence can support
millions of students and provides the right to education.
• Education would alternatively lead to growth of district as well as
states. henceforth contributing to nation’s growth.

10. Challenges and mitigation
factors:
Challenges:
 Complete funding support from government is mandatory for project to be
Successful.
Support of non government organisations , students and teachers is viable.
Enrollment of volunteer support will be a big challenge.
Infrastructure availablity would play a major role.
Key interest of people is mandatory for project to prove to be successful.
Funds should not become a hurdle in between.
Mitigation factors:
Advertisement through social media
Integration with NGO’s ,other projects in working in such field
Fund sources should always be in support.
Awareness to be spread among people.
