“We are committed to a total eradication of illiteracy. We will
formulate and implement plans to gradually increase the
governmental and non-governmental spending on education
upto 6% of the GDP; this is to provide education for all. We

Strategy

institutions (PRIS) and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs),

vi) There are also regional disparities
vii) Equity concerns like low enrolment of girls, educational requirements
of special need groups like SCs/STs, OBCs, minorities, disabled & working
children, children from disadvantaged locations like deserts, hilly, coastal
and deep forest areas and children from migratory families etc.

20. Elementary Education in the
Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-07)
Approaches
Approaches to achieve the goal of
universal elementary education in the years

and complexity of the task, which has so far
remained incomplete. Efforts to pursue this
goal are guided by three broad concerns:
www.schoolofeducators.com
21. Elementary Education in the

education of satisfactory quality to all children up to the
age of 14 years;
The political commitment to make the right to elementary
education a Fundamental Right and enforcing it through
necessary statutory measures; and
Enactment of 73rd
and 74th
Constitutional Amendment
which has set the stage for greater decentralisation and s
significantly enhanced role for local bodies, community
organisations as well as voluntary agencies in the efforts
towards UEE.
