This is the 2nd Theme New Edn Policy Extending Outreach of Secondary & Senior Sec Edn of New Education Policy as proposed by Indian Govt. II. Extending outreach of Secondary and Senior Secondary Education
- With Universal Elementary Education(UEE) becoming a reality, near universalization of secondary education is a logical next step. Further, universalisation of quality secondary education implies creating secondary schooling provisions of a defined standard irrespective of the location and management of the institution to accommodate all those eligible grade VIII and grade X students who are willing to participate in secondary and higher secondary education. It is expected that initiatives such as RTE of eight years of schooling would not only be increasing participation levels in elementary education but also substantially improve the internal efficiency of elementary education in the coming years and ensure higher levels of transition to secondary schooling. Further, with the improvements in retention and transition rates particularly amongst the more disadvantaged groups, there is an increasing pressure on the secondary schools to admit more students.Complete details of New Education Policy at apteachers.in
- A wide range of centrally sponsored schemes are being run by different secondary school institutions and bodies so as to ensure greater geographical coverage, social and gender inclusion and use of ICT for quality enhancement. RMSA is now envisaged as a single comprehensive scheme to address issues of coverage and quality in secondary education in a holistic manner.
