This document summarizes secondary research on secondary education in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh and Sambalpur, Orissa between June and July 2011. It finds that both districts face issues like lack of trained teachers, poor infrastructure, and curriculum relevance. The report recommends The Trust consider interventions like improving access, student achievement, curriculum reform, teacher support, adolescent support, and community engagement. It also suggests The Trust could fund NGO initiatives or take a technical support role in addition to funding.

Inclusive Education: Challenges and Remedies at Implementation level in IndiaSarathChandranR1
Inclusive education seeks to address the learning needs of all children, young people, and adults, with a specific focus on those who are vulnerable to marginalization and exclusion.
The intention of this paper is to provide a clear idea about the current education scenario practiced in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India, its associated drawbacks and to propose innovative teaching methods. For this purpose, various schools in the district were visited and surveys had been conducted to bring out the expectations and interests of students towards our education system. Based on the feedback given by the students and teachers, an analysis was performed and the shortcomings in the current education system were spotted out. The suggestions and expectations on the existing education scheme are being discussed in this paper.
Education is recognised as a basic input for empowering individual and overall development of the society. The universalisation of primary education continues to be a distant dream even after sixty years of indepencence, enormous funding and promises. Rather, the goal of universalisation has only been sparsely achieved and much has to do with the way access has been defined. The government’s approach of defining access in terms of attainment i.e., increasing literacy rate, enrolment ratios, infrastructure and teachers availability etc. and then making them affordable to the masses has proved to be grossly unsatisfactory. The approach has been narrowed in including a relevant aspect i.e., the attitude of providers which determines the willingness of first generation learners to join educational institutions and thus, affects access to primary education to a large extent. Keeping this in background, the present paper argues that mere availability and affordability of facilities cannot ensure access. It must be accompanied with an encouraging attitude and high commitment of education providers. Availability and Affordability would fail miserably in ensuring access if those who are involved in providing the facilities to the deprived section actually do not accept their role, acknowledge their responsibility and are not prepared to work tirelessly towards the end.The paper intends to measure the rural-urban disparity in attitude of teachers for which it uses data collected through a primary survey of six basic survey units- 4 villages and 2 wards from the Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh.

Education to Educate: A Case of Punjab Education FoundationIJAEMSJORNAL
Mrs. Shehzad’s doorbell rang, and she came out to open the door. She was sure about the arrival of her children Ali and Sana on the door as it was the time of school closing at 3’o clock. While serving the lunch, she thanked Allah and recalled the time a few years back. When Ali was in 4th grade, and Sana was in 5th grade, Mr. & Mrs. Shahzad thought to change the school of their children from private to government. This thought emerged because they were unable to afford the fee schedule of private schools. But they were aware of the drawbacks of Government Schools too. They never wanted to abolish their children’s confidence level, productivity, and learning. It was not the dilemma of one home but the whole nation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Executive Summary Secondary Education Research Report 15 August 2011
1. Executive Summary
Secondary Research on the Status of Secondary Education in
Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh and Sambalpur, Orissa
1 June – 31 July 2011
1. Overview
The objective of this research was a situation analysis of secondary education scenario in
Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh and Sambalpur, Orissa and recommend focus areas of intervention for
the Kusuma Trust UK (The Trust). The research methods included a review of reports and
information on secondary education in both districts and holding one-day consultations in each
district. Through planned discussions and group work, the consultations reviewed district
trends and collected inputs from participating stakeholder organisations on relevant secondary
education issues.
2. Background
Secondary education in India is organised in two tiers. Secondary schools provide education for
students aged 14 to 15 years for Classes 9 to 10. Senior secondary schools provide education
for students aged 16 to 17 years for Classes 11 to 12. The system has government schools,
government-aided schools, private schools, schools run by religious institutions and open
schools, which deliver distance learning.
Secondary education is at a crossroads. The country’s rapidly growing economy has increased
the need for students to complete secondary schooling but the current system is not meeting
this demand. Unlike elementary education, there is a dearth of policy, resources and defined
National and State government responsibilities for secondary education.
Two important initiatives that have made a significant impact on secondary education are the
National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA).
The NCF advocates for a shift from rote memory to conceptual understanding, synthesis and
application. The RMSA is committed to universalising quality education at the secondary and
senior secondary levels.
Although the number of secondary schools has increased, enrolment figures remain low. The
Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), which shows total enrolment as a percentage of the total
population in the relevant age group for Classes 9 to 12 was only 40 per cent in 2004-2005. In
September 2004, the GER for Classes 9 to 10 was 51 per cent, and for Classes 11-12 it was 28
per cent.
Access to secondary education is highly inequitable across different socio-economic groups.
Children living in remote rural locations face long journeys to and from school and girls are
often dissuaded from continuing their education beyond Class 8. Most schools lack facilities and
struggle to teach students effectively because of poorly qualified teachers, a heavy out-dated
curriculum and no teaching training materials.
3. Hardoi
There are 377 secondary schools in Hardoi, including government, government-aided and non-
aided schools. All schools are recognised by the Uttar Pradesh Board of Secondary Education.
The literacy rate is lowest among girls, the rural population, minorities and Scheduled Castes –
which make up a large proportion of the district.
4. Sambalpur
In Sambalpur, there are 214 secondary schools, including government, government-aided, block-
aided and self-financing schools, which are managed by the Department of School and Mass
Education, and the Tribal Welfare Department of the State Government. These schools use the
curriculum of the Orissa Board of Secondary Education and support 30,000 students – 60 per
cent of whom come from rural areas. There is one teacher training college in Sambalpur with
the capacity to train 100 teachers, which accommodates the needs of four districts.
2. 5. Problems to be Addressed
The most common problems found in both districts were:
a) the inefficient provision and use of funds;
b) the lack of trained teachers;
c) poor teacher training;
d) poor infrastructure;
e) geographical and social diversity;
f) differences in language and education levels of tribal/lower caste children (notably girls);
g) the relevance of the curriculum to the local context and adolescent age groups;
h) poor governance; and
i) interference from local political groups.
6. Recommended Interventions
On reviewing the problems in both districts, it is recommended that The Trust consider these
six intervention types, when considering funding an education project:
6.1 Enabling Access to Secondary Education: by improving school infrastructure and
facilities, providing additional teachers and increasing girls’ participation through escorted
transport or the provision of safe residential hostels (supported by Kasturba Gandhi Balika
Vidyalaya, National Institute of Open Schools and RMSA).
6.2 Efforts for Enhanced Student Achievement: by a systemic and comprehensive
development of Science and English teaching and enhancement of library facilities.
6.3 Enabling Curriculum and Pedagogic Reform: by collaboration with RMSA in Orissa
and Uttar Pradesh for the revision of the secondary school curriculum, development of
teaching training materials and reform of student assessment processes.
6.4 Enhanced Teacher Support: by strengthening teacher training institutions through
additional personnel, curricula reviews, infrastructure development, in-service teacher
training, short term training in national and international institutes, creating teacher awards
schemes and developing professional networks. Training in ICT skills and ICT-based
distance learning could also be considered.
6.5 Support to Adolescent Children: through interventions on health, education, life skills
and leadership delivered through the Panchayati Raj Institutions and School Management
Committees.
6.6 Ensuring Quality and Relevant Research and Advocacy Efforts: through training
researchers, enabling collaboration with UK institutes, commissioning and promoting
quality research and creating a think-tank of education professionals to bring stakeholders
together, form networks and advance the agenda of secondary education.
6.7 Community Engagement for Secondary Education: through mobilisation of the
School Management Committees, community leaders and local institutions.
7. Donor Roles
It is recommended that The Trust explore these two options.
7.1 Funding NGO initiatives in both districts, with a focus on effective financial support, best
practice and the delivery of comprehensive programmatic reports by the implementing
partners.
7.2 Becoming a technical agency (in addition to its donor role), with a substantial enhancement
of its own knowledge and skills, which would require the support of other agencies and
consultants to deliver strategy development, capacity building, training and research.
