Introduction

 

" The World Conference on Education for All(EFA) held in March 1990 in Jomtien, Thailand, adopted a Declaration calling upon all the member States to take effective steps for achieving EFA by the year 2000." India was a signatory to the Jomtien Declaration and began working towards EFA commitments forthwith. The world Declaration on EFA was a reaffirmation of the policy orientation given to elementary education in the National Policy on Education(NPE) in 1986.

 

The Government of India is committed to Universalisation of Elementary Education(UEE), which has been accepted as a National goal since 1950. The Directive Principles of the Constitution of India envisage provision of free and compulsory education to all the children upto the age of fourteen years. For promotion of UEE Parliament of India has passed the Constitutional(86th Amendment) Act, making free and compulsory elementary education a Fundamental Right, for all the children in the age group of  6-14 years through inclusion of the new Article 21 A in Part III of the constitution, as follows:

 

"The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the state may, by law, determine."

 

The National Policy on Education, 1986 also specifies that UEE has three aspects: universal access and enrolment, universal retention of children upto 14 years of age and substantial improvement in the quality of education to enable all children to achieve essential levels of learning.

 

" Since this declaration was made in 1990, broad based efforts have resulted in a massive expansion of the education system in the country, raising the overall status of educational provisions in terms of the accessibility and participation. Various programme were launched such as Operation Black Board, District Primary Education Programme, Basic Education projects in various district and many others programme funded by the externals agencies in various states, all of these helped in the expansion of education for children in the age group of 6-14 years. Yet, closer analysis of basic statistics reveal glaring disparities in the progress  made. These efforts were also guided by the concerns of equity. Certain sections of the society and certain geographical pockets in the country have failed to fully benefit from the investments made in education.

 

Thus to provide equal opportunities of education and demand for qualitative basic education all over the country the Government of India launched a national wide programme named Serva Shiskha Abhiyan(SSA) in all over the country covering all the districts during 2001-02. The main Aim of SSA is to provide useful and relevant Elementary Education for all the children in the age group of 6-14 years by 2010. There is also another goal to bridge all the Social, Regional and Gender gaps,  with active participation of the community in the management of the schools.

 

  In accordance with constitutional commitment to ensure free and compulsory education for all children up to age of 14 years, provision of universal elementary education has been a salient feature of national policy since independence. This resolve has been spell out emphatically in the National Policy of Education(NPE) 1986 and the Program of Action (POA) 1992. Also social justice and equity are by themselves a strong argument for providing basic education for all. It is an established fact that basic education improves the level of human well – being especially with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality, nutritional status of children, etc. Studies have shown that universal basic education significantly contributes to economic growth.

 

National Committee’s Report on UEE in the Mission Mode 1999: UEE should be pursed a mission mode with a holistic and convergent approach with emphasis preparation of District Elementary Education Plans for UEE. It supported the fundamental right to education and desired quick action towards operationalization of the mission mode towards UEE.

 

The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is a historic stride towards achieving the long cherished goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education(UEE) through a time bound integrated approach, in partnership with states. SSA, which promises to change the face of the elementary education sector of the country, aims to provide useful and quality elementary education to all children in the 6-14 age group by 2010.

 

The SSA is an effort to recogonised the need for improving the performance of the existing school system and to provide community owned quality elementary education in the mission mode. It also envisages bridging of gender and social gaps.

 

SSA is a program with a clear time frame for universal elementary education which response to the demand for qualitative basic education all over the country. It is an opportunity for promoting social justice through basic education. SSA is an effort effectively involving the Panchyati Raj institutions, Village Education Committees , PTA and other grass root level structures in the management of elementary schools. It is a good opportunity for states to develop their own vision of elementary education.

PROCESS OF PLAN FORMULATION

 

 Decentralized planning and management of elementary education is a goal set by the National Policy on Education, 1986. The Policy visualizes direct community involvement in the form of Village Education Committees (VECs) for management of elementary education. The POA, 1992, emphasized micro planning as a process of designing a family-wise and child-wise plan of action by which every child regularly attends school or NFE centre, continues his or her education at the place suitable to him/her and completes at least eight years of schooling or its equivalent at the NFE centre.

 

 The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments provide for decentralization of the activities and facilitate transfer of power and participation of the local self-government institutions or the Panchayati Raj Institutions. These structures have been providing voice to women, Scheduled Castes and Tribes, minorities, parents and educational functionaries. They have also, been delegated with responsibilities with drop out students, construction work, quality education awareness etc. In this regard, decentralization of school management to grass root level bodies is an important policy initiative.

 

During the 8th plan period several innovative efforts hove been made under the ongoing projects to establish decentralization. For instance, the District Primary Education Programme has shifted the planning mechanism from the state to the district level has gone one step further by assigning decision making processes to a block level committee. At the village level, a VEC has the main responsibility for community mobilization, school mapping, micro planning, renovation and construction of school buildings and improvement of pedagogical curriculum. In fact, the VEC is the backbone of education in the concerned village.

 

SSA adopts, " the bottom-up" process of planning, wherein the felt needs of the served communities and educational needs of the learners are well taken care of and the plan fits into the broad framework of the SSA. The sound planning process and consequently well elaborated plan proposals save the precious resources and time for implementation of the SSA.

 

To implement the SSA activities in better effective way the process of planning was distributed in four stages in district which are given below.

 

1.                  In the initial phase  five expert members of different field were selected in a team named as District Core Team which guide the local level Education Committees and help them in preparing the proposals & Budget as per  their need, under the guidance of  DEO cum DPC, SSA Hisar and Principal DIET Mattersham, Hisar.

In towns and cities, English is still to be adopted as the household lingo, but is spoken in a hazy mixture of Hindi. The most striking feature of Haryana is its language itself; or rather, the manner in which it is spoken. Popularly known as Haryanavi (or as Bangaru or Jatu), it is perhaps a bit crude.

The length of the national highways passing through Haryana is 665 km.

·         Railway System: Haryana is well connected on the rail network. Under the NCR there is already a proposal to provide rail corridor connecting towns around Delhi linking the major satellite towns like Faridabad, Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh, Kundli etc. Similarly, there is also a proposal to provide rapid mass transportation system between Delhi and these satellite towns.

 

8.      Water:

 

Water is available as Haryana is a land of canals. It has tapped its ground water resources to maximum.

A number of incentives are also given to the students to attract them to the educational institutes.

 

Haryana’s main concern is to tackle the problem of illiteracy among its female population. The importance of education among girls and its over all impact on the welfare of children and community as a whole cannot be over ruled. Concessions and incentives for girls especially those belonging to backward and scheduled castes have gone a long way in promoting female education. Scheduled Caste girls in primary, middle and high classes are being provided with free uniforms. Scheduled Caste students are provided grants for books and stationery articles and are awarded scholarships and reimbursement of tuition fees.

It is an ambitious scheme that has been operationalised throughout the district as well as country in a very short period. The programme envisages provision of nutritious and wholesome cooked meal of 100 gms of food grains per school day, free of cost, to all children in classes I-V by 1997-98.

 

Operation black Board

 

This scheme launched in 1987, is aimed at improving the school environment and enhancing retention and learning achievement of children by providing minimum essential facilities in all primary schools. The scheme has brought about a remarkable quantitative and qualitative improvement in primary education. All primary schools have been covered under this scheme. The main aim of this scheme is to provide minimum requirement of teachers, rooms and other necessary infra structure to each school to run effectively with the help of community.

 

The main objectives of OBB Scheme are as follows :

 

Ø       A building comprising at least two reasonably large all-weather rooms with a deep varandah and separate toilet facilities for boys and girls;

Ø       At least two teachers in every school, as far as possible one of them a women; and Essential teaching-learning material including blackboards, maps, charts, toys and equipment for work experience.

 

       The scheme is recently revised so as to:

 

Ø       Provide flexibility to schools in providing teaching-learning materials relevant to their curriculum and local needs:

Ø       To relate the scheme with micro planning wherever undertaken, so that supply of inputs is matched by demand side interventions to promote participation; Intensify training in the use of teaching-learning equipment's; and Extend the scheme to upper primary schools.

 

In addition, a number of externally funded projects and programmes were  also currently under implementation amongst which the World Bank assisted District Primary Education Programme is the most prominent one. The programme that was launched in 1994 in this district had brought the quantity as well as qualitative improvement in the primary education system.

The above table shows the decreasing trend in enrolment in Govt. Upper Primary Schools from 1998-99 to 2001-02. The decreasing trend is less in SC category. It is 14.33%  in overall and 7.59% in SC category.   From  2001-02 the enrollment  had been increased in the Govt. schools  but during 2004-05 it is marginally increased in all communities. The share of girls also increased but more in SC communities than in all communities. The share in enrollment of SC communities increased from 27.46% in 2003-04 to 31.09% in 2004-05.

 

Various steps taken under SSA for the education of Girls and SC communities will be fruitful in enrolling the Girls and SC children in the coming years. This is so because these steps were taken seriously with more specific steps during 2004-05 such as providing the Bicycles to girls, remedial coaching classes & Hobby classes, awards to girls and SC children besides providing the Text books free. Introduction of NPEGEL scheme for the education of girls also helps in increasing the girl's enrollment during 2004-05.
