  1. ANDHRA PRADESH PRIMARY EDUCATION PROGRAMME APPEP CAM Toolkit for engineers

  2. Introduction • APPEP involved the construction of primary school buildings as a demonstration of the use of Cost Effective Construction Technologies (CECT) in school construction • The Ministry of Education and the engineering sector of the Panchayati Raj Engineering Department (PRED), Government of Andhra Pradesh with financial assistance from British Government's Department for International Development (DFID) (UK) implemented the Andhra Pradesh Primary Education Programme (APPEP). • The use of local material, local artisans and local conventional construction techniques was encouraged CAM Toolkit for engineers

  3. APPEP Phase l from 1984-88 • APPEP Phase II implemented from 1989 through to 1993. The overall objective of APPEPII was to achieve quality improvement by the year 2000 in teacher competence and classroom practice to contribute to attaining universal primary education • APPEP Review Mission • Vidyalayam- CECT Demonstration Project taken up in 1994 in the Districts of Rangareddy and Warrangal based on the recommendations of the review mission.completed in 1996. • APPEP Bridging Phase The bridging phase of 1994-95, therefore, was intended to consolidate existing project activity, and prepare for a smooth transition between APPEP Phase II and any subsequent projects under DPEP CAM Toolkit for engineers

  4. EvaluationAn evaluation of the Vidyalayam project was conducted in November 1998 and it was felt that the repair of school buildings should be the subject of a more concerted effort • Repair Programme.The repair programme was conducted from March 1999 to May 2000 School at Puppalguda, Rajinder Nagar, Ranga Reddy District using cement stablised mud blocks for walling and MCR tiles on steel under structure and brick jack arches on precast RC joists for roofing CAM Toolkit for engineers

  5. Mounted in 1995-96 in Rangareddy and Warangal districts. A total of 57 classrooms in 8 locations in Warangal district were taken up. These included a variety of designs developed by various agencies and using different technologies. The construction was managed by the state Panchayati Raj Engineering Department (PRED). A post construction estimate clearly demonstrated a saving of about 30% over conventional construction Vidyalayam- CECT Demonstration Project CAM Toolkit for engineers

  6. Repair Programme • Evaluation mounted between 14.' October 1998 and 23rd November 1998 identified the needs for repairs, structural correction and improvement of climatological performance of some of the prototype buildings • DFID agreed to support such repairs at the twenty-eight sites of APPEP • A two-day capacity building workshop was organised Hyderabad in March 1999 for Capacity Building of PRED and DPEP engineers. • Deficiency Survey conducted by PRED,APDPEP engineers along with the community CAM Toolkit for engineers

  7. Distress analysis • Recommendations • Estimation • Capacity Building of School Education Committees • Data Analysis CAM Toolkit for engineers

  9. Process • ISM (Industrial Structure and Management) was commissioned by DFID's Education Sector Group as the overall coordinating agency to work in collaboration with other consultants, NGOs and the Panchayati Raj Engineering Department to deliver the demonstration structures • The delivery agents • Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad • Panchayati Raj Engineering Department • Roads & Building Department • State Public Works Department • Tribal Welfare Department CAM Toolkit for engineers

  10. A strong hierarchical structure existed in each of these organisations.The sanctioning, approval and execution powers were delegated to the officers according to their rank and position. • The channels of execution were through invitation of tenders; works to be executed are either on item rates or a lump sum basis. Estimates for all the works are based on Standard Schedules of Rates (SSR) which, in principle, are updated annually. • During the execution of works the Department concerned performed the function of project manager including quality assessment and control of works; measuring and recording progress and release of payments to the contractors; controlling and issuing materials e.g. cement and steel; monitoring time and cost parameters.

  11. Different designated officials decide the award of work based on the following criteria CAM Toolkit for engineers

  12. Community Participation • Education Sector Group carried out a programme of village sensitisation. Teams of social scientists visited villagesin four districts within the APPEP Social Project that had been identified as potential sites for the prototype classrooms • Community gatherings were held architectural models of the various designs were shown and discussions held as to which technologies would be best for each particular situation. This exercise was well received by communities resulting in additional informationbeing fed into the project planning process CAM Toolkit for engineers

  13. Social Project • The Social Project was one of the five projects initiated during the APPEP Bridging Phase 1994-95 in six mandals, one each from the districts of Khammam, Prakasam, Vishakapatnam, Warangal, Cuddapah and Chittoor • The main objective was to increase enrolment and retention, especially of girls and children from schedule castes and tribe (SC/ST) communities through community participation • VECs were set up to empower communities to participate in the development process, enabling them to own and manage APPEP activities CAM Toolkit for engineers

  14. Impact • The prototypes were built for local communities through state delivery mechanisms providing a rich learning experience; plenty of evidence exists to show that CECT have been promulgated beyond the confines of APPEP • Key individuals with direct experience in APPEP have taken their own experience and learning to new initiatives in different locations • APPEP's influence has spread geographically (e.g. CECT in a variety of manners is a major component of infrastructure in DPEP states across India) and experiences have been successfully shared across sectorboundaries (e.g. taken up in the health sector in Orissa).

  15. Conclusion • APPEP was the first time that different technologies were being tried under similar conditions, thus offering “living laboratory” conditions for comparison and monitoring of performance and life cycle costing of these technologies. • the programme laid emphasis on documentation and kept proper field records. • It produced much needed information and dissemination material. • the repairs programme, also brought sharply into focus, probably for the first time, the urgent need to devote more attention to issues of maintenance.
