11. Project at a Glance • A Centrally sponsored scheme • (a) IMPLENTING AGENCY: • State level: A.P. Secondary Education Society, Government of Andhra Pradesh. Secretary to Secondary Education Dept (Chairman), & C&DSE(Member Convenor) • District Level: Collector & Dist. Magistrate(Chairman), DEO (Dist.

12. Need for RMSA • The Government of India has launched, in 2007, a centrally sponsored scheme, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), for universalisation of access to and improvement of quality at the secondary and higher secondary stage, • Since education is a state subject as per the constitution in the Indian federal system, state governments are policy and decision makers on this subject, • RMSA is therefore a crucial step to prepare the State Govts. /UTs to take up the goal of Universalisation of Secondary Education.(USE)

13. Need for RMSA contd… • Unlike U.E.E which is a constitutional mandate, U.S.E is not mandated by Constitution but only by morale and by need. • This means that well-thought out and practically possible goals and strategies for implementation must emerge from the states and union territories.

14. Vision, Goals & Objectives – National VISION At the national level, the vision for secondary education is to make good quality education available, accessible and affordable to all young persons in the age group of 14-18years.

15. Vision, Goals & Objectives – National • GOALS & OBJECTIVES The national policy document of RMSA has drawn up the following specific goals and objectives: • To ensure that all secondary schools have physical facilities, staff and supplies at least according to the prescribed standards through financial support in case of Government/ Local Body and Government aided schools, and appropriate regulatory mechanism in the case of other schools • To improve access to secondary schooling to all young persons according to norms – through proximate location (say, Secondary Schools within 5 kms, and Higher Secondary Schools within 7-10 kms), efficient and safe transport arrangements/residential facilities, depending on local circumstances including open schooling. However, in hilly and difficult areas, these norms can be relaxed. Preferably residential schools may be set up in such areas

16. Vision, Goals & Objectives – National • GOALS & OBJECTIVES Contd… • To ensure that no child is deprived of secondary education of satisfactory quality due to gender, socio-economic, disability and other barriers; • To improve quality of secondary education resulting in enhanced intellectual, social and cultural learning • To ensure that all students pursuing secondary education receive education of good quality; and achievement of the above objectives would also, inter-alia, signify substantial progress in the direction of the Common School System.

17. Vision, Goals & Objectives – State VISION To ensure quality education that is available, accessible and affordable to every young person in the age group of 14-18 and prepare them to become global citizens with intellectual, scientific, social, cultural and humane outlook

18. Vision, Goals & Objectives – State • GOALS & OBJECTIVES The state abides by these broad national goals and objectives, and specifically adds on certain key qualitative objectives that would guide its progress towards meeting its vision and goal. They are: • To equip and empower professional competence of the heads and teachers for school effectiveness and classroom processes; • To provide opportunity to secondary level students to compare, collaborate, compete and contribute to the world at large; and • To develop life-skills of students, and enhance overall quality of life.

19. Road Map • All secondary school age children are in schools by 2013 • All secondary school age children are in secondary classes appropriate to their age by 2020 • All secondary school completing children will have access to higher secondary classes by 2020 • “….. making good quality education available to all students in all schools at affordable fees is a primary commitment of the Common School System”, • State should invest in common schools system with standards, norms, building, etc., with the same standards as that of Kendriya Vidyalayas.
