Quality Of Education

MONITORING FORMATS
FOR QUALITY DIMENSTIONS UNDER SSA

Some Issues
Rationale
Adequate, rigorous, inclusive and continuous monitoring and supervision are one of the most
important keys to successful implementation of any educational programme. The same is true
for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), which aims at providing useful and relevant elementary
education to all children in the age group of 6-14 years. It is an effort to universalize quality
Elementary Education for all children by 2010 in a mission mode.
The National Curriculum Framework 2005 has strongly articulated the need for a substantial
improvement in the quality of education. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) also emphasizes the
significance of quality education and suggests various parameters to be addressed in State and
district plans to achieve the desired goal. The quality dimensions for elementary education have
broadly been identified as:
·   Basic Infrastructure and other Facilities
·   Management and Community Support
·   School and Classroom Environment
·   Curriculum and Teaching Learning Material
·   Teacher and Teacher Preparation
·   Opportunity Time (Teaching-Learning Time)
·   Classroom Practices and Processes
·   Learners' Assessment, Monitoring and Supervision

In order to be continuously informed about the parameters and issues related to quality
elementary education, both at the classroom level as well as at the systematic functioning level,
some monitoring systems had to be put in place. A strong need was felt for periodic monitoring
and regular feedback at elementary levels within and outside the classrooms. The Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan emphasizes a holistic and comprehensive approach and suggests community-based
monitoring system and also encourages developing partnerships between communities and
research institutions for effective monitoring.

Girls Education Girls Education at Elementary Level Education of girls has been a high priority with the Government of India. The National commitment to provide free and compulsory education to all children in the 6-14 years age group is now a Fundamental Right of every child in India after the passing of the Constitution (86 th Amendment) Act in December, 2002.   Reaching out to the girl child is central to the efforts to universalize elementary education . Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, or ‘Education for All’ programme recognizes that ensuring girl’s education requires changes not only in the education system but also in societal norms and attitudes. A two-pronged gender strategy has therefore been adopted, to make the education system responsive to the needs of the girls through targeted interventions   which   serve as a pull factor to enhance access and retention of girls in schools and on the other hand, to generate a community demand for girls’ edu...

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN RTE- SSA- AN OVERVIEW Background RTE mandates free and compulsory education to all children from 6-14 years of age. The key objective of RTE- SSA is Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE). Three important aspects of UEE are access, enrolment and retention of all children in 6-14 years of age. This goal of UEE, has further been facilitated by 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. This Amendment has given a new thrust to the education of Children With Special Needs (CWSN), as without their inclusion, the objective of UEE cannot be achieved. In-fact inclusion of one of the groups, which is extremely crucial for UEE, is perhaps that of the CWSN. Hence, education of CWSN is an important component of SSA. Provisions for CWSN under SSA SSA provides upto Rs.3000/- per child for the inclusion of disabled children, as per sp...
