This proposal outlines a model for improving quality primary education in rural areas through inclusive management. It proposes establishing learning centers to train more teachers and including local people in implementing existing schemes. The management structure would include committees at the regional and district levels consisting of educated retired people, professors, and NGO/NSS members to oversee schools. Current teachers and new graduates would receive innovative training from professors in recognized institutions. Selection of new teachers would involve an exam and certification of teaching skills from NGOs. Incentives like future teaching positions are proposed to encourage parent and student participation.

2. Some Evidence :
What is reality
 Nearly 36% of all sanctioned posts
of teachers in the country are
lying vacant
 national average for pupil to
teacher ratio is at 1:80
 rural populace unemployment is
higher at 13.9% and 11.0% with
post-graduate and graduate
degrees respectively
What it should be
 vacancy of teachers shall not
exceed 10% of the total
sanctioned strength.
 prescribed ratio of 1:30 for primary
and 1:35 for upper primary level

3. Quality problem
 While 61.89% of the students in
class 3 passed in mathematics,
only 42.71% passed the subject in
class 8
 An NCERT paper says the B.Ed
programme is too short and
focuses on “rote memorization”
rather than “teaching for
understanding”.
 50% of rural children enrolled in
standard five can fluently read a
standard two text book.
Management problem
 School Development Plans are
barely functional in the school
management committees(SMCs)
and that members are unaware of
their responsibilities.
 95% of schools in the country do not
comply with RTE guidelines
 While teacher absence rates were
over 24% in rural India in 2003
 There is large irregularities found in
Mid day mill scheme

4. BASIC IDEA
 With the available schemes like Sarva Skisha Abhiyan, Mid Day Meal & RTE,
we have all the facilities to make a government school in par with the
private school, but we have to implement these polices very rigorously.
 TRANSFER OF TEACHING SKILLS :
All the best colleges in India like IIT’s, IIM’s, DU etc. & all the concerned
highly educated people should give time to train the existing teachers &
newly recruited graduates & post graduates.
 Helping DIOS by framing no. of committees at regional level to inspect the
quality of education in the primary school at-least twice a month.
 Providing incentive/awareness to parents for the education of their ward.

5. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
DIOS
+ 5 member committee
(retd. Educated people, members of civil society)
DISTRICT LEVEL
1 government appointed person +
5 regional concerned people
(professors from colleges, NGO’s/NSS, local people)
EDUCATIONAL
REGION (ER)
VOLUNTEERS
(students from school/colleges, parents, school
authority)

6. Management structure:
 Each district consist of a DIOS and another 4-5 people(concerned regional
educated people and NGOs participation) to enhance investing process
by reducing work load as number of schools increases in previous years .
 Each district will divided into 15-20 Education Regions (ER).
 Each ER will consist of one government elected member and 4-5 members
with local college professors ,NGO people and local concerned people.
 Each ER will also have volunteers(students) from colleges and local people
in order to implement Government schemes properly like Mid-Day Mill ,
RTE, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
 School Management Committee (SMC) as mentioned in RTE will then be
reality and Mid-Day Mill will supervision by local volunteers .

7. PROFESSORS
(IIT’S, IIM’S, DU, etc.)
NGO/ NSS
RETD.
GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS
(K.V. school principals,
etc.)
ENTHUSIASTS
TRAINING IN LOCAL SCHOOLS OR COLLEGES WITH
INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGY
CURRENT
TEACHERS IN
SCHOOLS
NEWLY
RECRUITED
TEACHERS
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

8. Quality improvement:
 There will be a stay of educational routine in best recognized
institutions(IIT,IIM,JNU,DU….) of about 3 months.
 Most professors from these institutions and civil society will distributed in different
district for giving innovative training to recruited graduates and post graduates
and current school teachers .
 They will stay in district universities and colleges. Training will be held at these
institutions.
 Such movement will be held at every 4-5 year.
 Contents of training will ensure ‘knowledge to be imparted to rural students’
should based on ‘understanding the concepts’ rather than Rote knowledge .
 Content and ‘method of teaching’ will more like what is used in private schools .
 Also there are very many innovative methods and content like ‘Judo-
Maths’,’Gyan lab’,etc. developed by different organizations and NGOs .

9. SELECTION PROCESS
• STEP1: All the interested candidates have to appear for written test (same
as the current one).
• STEP2: All candidates who have cleared 1st round will have to get a
teaching certificate from at-least two NGO’s/NSS (working in the city)who
are really concerned about primary education.
• NGO’s/NSS will issue certificate on the basis of the ability of candidate to
teach children.
• Hence, the recruitment process is completed.
INCENTIVE FOR PARENTS TO SEND CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
• A student of the “government school” after completing his/her 12th can become
a government teacher in the same school if he/she clears a special exam mainly
focusing on his/her ability to teach primary children. This will work as an incentive
for parents to focus on the education of children.
• Prize distribution on the basis of evaluation carried out on a regular basis.

10. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
 Incentive in the form of money will be provided to the faculty going to train
teachers.
 Money will be required to provide prizes to students on the regular basis.
 Above mentioned money will be worth spending if we are providing quality
education to the needy.
