  2. State Profile • All data pertain to year 2011

  3. School Education

  4. School Education: Present Structure

  5. Access to schooling • High drop out rate at primary level – 33.22%. • Out of 100 students enrolled in class I, only 54 reach Sec. and 27 reach in Sr. Sec. level. • Very low transition rate from Sec. to Sr. Sec. implies poor access to facilities. Source- Flash Statistics 2012-13, NUEPA

  6. Access to schooling • Large no. of children not enrolled in class appropriate for their age- • - 25% in class I –V • - 23% in Class VI- VIII, • resulting in higher drop-out rate for Sr. Sec. level.

  7. School Education: Institutional availability (Rural Area) • No of villages: 39753 ; Gram Panchayats: 9177 (Ratio: 4.33)

  8. Prognosis • Integrated schools (1 to 12) • Consolidation / Merger of Schools • Inadequate availability of Sr. Sec. schools. At least one Sr. Sec. School in each Gram Panchayat (In Kerala this ratio is 2.5, compared to 0.3 in Rajasthan at present) • About 6000 Sec. schools need to be upgraded to Sr. Sec. level. • Adequate availability of elementary schools: 2 PS per village and 1.28 UPS per village. • New PS and UPS are not required. Rather, we must ensure quality teaching.

  9. Quality Indicators (Elementary Education)

  10. Quality Indicators (Elementary Education) • Northern states of MP and UP fare worse than Rajasthan

  11. . Quality Indicators (Secondary / Sr. Secondary): Board Result (RBSE 2012-13) Source: Flash Statistics 2012-13, NUEPA • Students appearing in recent advanced IIT admission test • CBSE : 41.99% • AP : 13.47% • Maharashtra: 7.62% • Gujarat : 6% • [Source: Hindustan Times (24.5.14)]

  12. Changes proposed • Examination reform : Introduction of optional 8th Board – more than 1.83 lac plus students appearing in 2014. • Internal examination reforms – Class 1 to 8 • One Model School (English Medium) at each block head quarter. • Introduction of English medium teaching in schools at block HQ and above. • Scholar examination after class 3,5,7,9 and 11. • Strengthening of supervisory functionaries’ network. • Evaluation of teachers, correlating to students’ performance • Incentive structure in tandem with performance like transfer policy, APAR entries for teachers, scholarships to students etc. • Ensuring teachers’ accountability with online monitoring to ensure less absenteeism.

  13. Girls Education • School visits indicate parents’ preference to send girls to Govt. schools located in close proximity only. • In private schools, boys to girls ratio is 65:35, implying better quality of education and priority given to these schools for boys. • Spread of Govt. Sr. Sec. schools must increase for improved access to girls.

  14. Way forward • Education voucher for girls for private schooling, if no Govt. school exists. • Mobility support to girls – Transport Voucher / Cycle distribution • 50% reservation for girls in RtEadmissions • Girls hostels in all educationally backward blocks for Secondary classes • Incentive schemes / special scholarship for meritorious girls.

  15. Availability of Teachers- Secondary Education • Acute shortage of subject teachers in Sec. / Sr. Sec. Schools • Skewed distribution of teachers.

  16. Elementary Schools (Less Enrolment) • Non availability of critical mass at elementary level. • Rationalization of teachers / schools within RtE norms. • Recruitment of teachers of appropriate level

  17. Expenditure per Student per Annum • Very high per child expenditure in Govt. schools as compared to fees of private schools in rural areas (80% private schools in rural areas have fee less than Rs. 500 per month per student.) • Good performing private schools may be considered as alternate to Govt. schools - Education Voucher Scheme.

  18. Infrastructure GAP as per RTE (Elementary Education) • Huge funds are required for construction of boundary Wall.

  19. Infrastructure GAP(Secondary Education)

  20. Proposed action • Gaps in elementary being addressed through SSA . • For Secondary schools, State may supplement RMSA, GoI-funding. • Convergence from PR & RD for boundary walls in Elementary Schools. • State may supplement maintenance grant in SSA. • Funding from PR dept. for maintenance of toilets.

  21. Teachers’ Training • Strengthening of DIETs ; Augmentation of BSTC intake capacity in phased manner. • Teacher training on new text books, English medium teaching. • Subject training in Science, Mathematics and English. • Induction training for new teachers and HMs. • Training of HM on leadership development / capacity building like Piramal Foundation courses. • Training on ICT for better educational outcomes.

  22. Progress upto 2018-19 • More than 16,000 schools were amalgamated / coordinated in 2015-16 and another 5,000+ thereafter. • About 6, 000 schools were upgraded to Sr Sec level, with 1 per Gram panchayat. • Policy for such unification was based on: - Only in a Revenue village, - With the highest ranking school, preferably in a Senior Secondary School. (1 for classes 1-12) • Result: Enrolment of students in Govt. Schools went up from 60+ lakhs to 85+ lakhs (+40%). • Rajasthan now ranks 3rd in india. (Earlier 26th) amongst states.
