Infrastructure Facilities in Schools
As per the District Information System for Education(DISE) 2011-12 (provisional), some States do reflect a gap in school infrastructure as 94.3% government elementary schools have drinking water, 87.9% schools have toilets and 61.7% schools have ramps.7 States / UTs have Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) above the National average of 1:31 at primary level and 8 States / UTs are above the national level of 1:29 at upper primary stage.

The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) seeks to augment school infrastructure with the objective of meeting the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 requirements, for which so far 3.04 lakh school buildings, 17.92 lakh additional classrooms, 8.53 lakh toilets,2.29 lakh drinking water facilitiesand 5.01 lakh ramps have been sanctioned across the States/Union Territories.

Under the SSA, efforts to improve quality in schools have been undertaken through improved textbooks based on the National Curriculum Framework 2005, the distribution of free textbooks, annual in-service training of all teachers, setting-up of academic supervision and support structures at block and cluster level and the introduction of comprehensive and continuous evaluation.For improving the Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR), more than 19 lakh posts of teachers have been sanctioned. Furthermore, under the RTE Act, 2009, the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) has notified the minimum qualifications and also made the holding of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) mandatory to improve the quality of teachers.

CTET / NCTE / RTE : Speech Delivered by DR. M. M. Pallam Raju

CTET / NCTE / RTE Speech Delivered by DR. M. M. Pallam Raju


Given below is the Speech Delivered by DR. M. M. Pallam Raju, Minister for Human Resource Development at the 60th Meeting of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) held on 
8th November, 2012 at New Delhi 

“I have immense pleasure in welcoming you all to the 60th Meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE). Let me also introduce my colleague in the Ministry and Vice Chairperson of the Committee Dr. Shashi Tharoor. I also take this opportunity to thank my predecessor Chairman Shri Kapil Sibal ji and also Vice Chairpersons E. Ahamed and Dr. D. Purandeswari. I thank the Hon’ble Ministers and distinguished members of CABE for coming to the meeting at such a short notice.

As you are aware, the meeting was earlier scheduled on 1st November, which had to be postponed due to unavoidable reasons. I thought that prolonged postponement of CABE may not be proper and have therefore called this meeting before the winter session of Parliament.

2. In a country as diverse and as large as ours, the task of developing national policies while at the same time respecting and incorporating regional aspirations and an inclusive agenda of growth is indeed really challenging. It is in this context that I have always emphasized on a participatory approach in which all of us, be it Central Government of State Governments, academics, autonomous institutions, private sector and all other stakeholders, work together towards a common goal which is empowering the children and youth of India through education and knowledge.

3. As all of us are aware, CABE is the highest advisory body to advise Central Government and State Governments in the field of Education. I would like to continue the tradition of having regular meetings of CABE which has served as a forum of wide ranging consultations and has helped in developing consensus on various issues within all the sub-sectors of education ranging from elementary, adult, secondary, higher, technical, vocational and open and distance education. I would also like to mention that Planning Commission in its Approach Paper to the XII Five Year Plan has recognised Education as the single most important instrument for social and economic transformation. The Approach Paper mentions that a well educated population, adequately equipped with knowledge and skill is not only essential to support economic growth, but is also a precondition for growth to be inclusive since it is the educated and skilled person who can stand to benefit most from the employment opportunities which growth will provide. Thus, collectively we have to decide policies and programmes for realizing India’s human resource potential to its fullest in the education sector, with equity and excellence.

6. I am also glad to inform that the Committees which we were formed during the 58th Meeting of CABE have submitted their reports which are before us for consideration. The Report of the CABE Committee on curbing unfair practices in school education sector along with draft legislation is before us today. The proposed legislation defines the various practices in the school education sector which will be treated as ‘unfair’ including charging excessive fee, lack of transparency in conducting the admission test for the standard XI, recruiting teachers without qualification, giving teachers and other administrative staff lesser salary than shown in the school records, recruiting teachers with low salary, exploitation of teachers through various means, not admitting special children, and discrimination of students, especially those belonging to SC/ST/OBC and weaker sections of society. The draft provides for mechanism of redress of complaints while prescribing the quantum of punishments for acts that violate the provisions of the proposed legislation.

7. Another CABE Committee on University Reforms has also submitted its report which emphasizes on the launch of a Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan which would have a special focus on incentivising state governments and state institutions.

8. The Committee on “Extension of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 to Pre-school Education and Secondary Education” has also submitted its status report. The major issues that were identified by the Committee for further discussion are: (1) the entry age for pre-school under the extended framework; (2) qualifications and capacity building of teachers for preschool; (3) ensuring focus on child-centered pedagogy, play-way method and holistic development as critical elements of pre-school education: and (4) need for effective coordination with ICDS. As regards extending RtE to secondary levels, assessment of existing infrastructure, (i) age of children in the secondary education (15-16 or 15-18 years) and duration of secondary education (IX-X or IX-XII). (ii) appointment of additional teachers as per new PTR norm which would be fixed if RTE is extended,
(iii) consultation with all partners like state governments (on various issues like the norms of opening school, school infrastructure, teacher recruitment etc.), NCERT on curriculum and NCTE for qualification of teacher appointment, Teacher eligibility test, Teacher training institute, role and regulatory mechanism of the private sector (iv) sharing of financial responsibility between the Center and the states, are some of the key issues. As you would all appreciate, these issues need to be discussed comprehensively before we decide to extend RtE to pre-school and secondary level.

9. Since the coming into effect of Right to Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, all States/UTs have notified RTE Rules and 24 States/UTs have constituted SCPCR/REPA. However, we need to take a number of measures for filling up the vacancies of teachers as also provision of infrastructure. In this context, some of the State Education Ministers have also been requesting extending the time period prescribed for implementation of the Act. We would consider the same along with review of the progress of RtE.

10. As regards Teachers’ Education, Justice J. S. Verma Committee has given its report which was sent to all the State Governments. We will be having a detailed presentation on the measures to be taken by Central and State Governments in this regard. 

11. Skill Development and vocational education has been a key intervention in the education sector. In this context, we would be discussing reform measures in polytechnic sector. There are four strands of reform that have been identified in the process of consultations relating to:

Content and curriculum reform.
Faculty development and enrichment.
Reforms in assessment and certification methods.
Reforms in regulatory measures and institutional incentives.

12. As regards higher education, I feel the Consolidation of the Initiatives undertaken during XI Plan period, strengthening of the State Institutions, Faculty Development, Strengthening Research and Innovation in Basic Sciences and Social Sciences, Skill Building, Vocational Education and strengthening academia – industry linkages should be the critical focus areas.

13. Before I conclude, I would also like to mention that education should lead to building of an inclusive, just and fair society and it is in this context that I have been emphasizing on value education. Education in my view should lead to character building of our youth and also inspire them to work towards the task of nation building in addition to their work for employment or self-employment.

14. I would like meaningful exchange of views on all the agenda items and each one of you must contribute to making this a fruitful deliberation. I would request each one of you to express your views and pro-actively engage in the deliberations. These issues concern the future of the children and youth of our country and we should work together to improve access to education with equity and quality. With these words, I wish the proceedings all success and eagerly look forward to having a very engaging discussion.’’

Union HRD Minister Reviews Implementation of RTE

Create a vacancy database. 
Generate a list of vacancies subjects-wise. 
Be sensitive to the needs of physically handicapped teachers, women teachers and other categories as prioritized by the State. 
Correct existing imbalances in teacher deployment. 

Some of the other issues that were addressed during the meeting include a review of the status of notification of State rules under RTE Act, 2009 . A Review of status of constitution of SCPCR/REPA for protection of rights of children under the RTE Act was also done.

RTE : A Message From the PM to be Read in Every School in The Country on National Education Day

RTE / TET / NCTE : Important Information about RTE / NCTE / TET Exam Given in Indian Parliament


A Message From the PM to be Read in Every School in The Country on National Education Day 

Shri Kapil Sibal Calls for Sustained Drive for Awareness on RTE

Chairs State Education Ministers’ Meet on Community Mobilisation and Public Awareness for RTE
There is a need for a sustained campaign to create awareness in every school, among those who need to be brought into school and among those who implement the Right to Education Act as to the various provisions of this Act. This was stated by Shri Kapil Sibal, Union Minister for Human Resource Development at a meeting of State Education Ministers on the subject of community mobilization and public awareness for Right to Education (RTE) held here today. Shri Sibal expressed confidence that he would get support from the State Governments in this effort. Shri Sibal underlined that the Central and the State Government have to work together so that RTE does not falter.

Shri Sibal outlined some of the work undertaken in the RTE in the country. Stating that 20 States have notified rules, he pointed out that in states which have not done so, it is the children who are suffering.
He has also said that the teachers’ eligibility test has been undertaken and eight years academic cycle has been brought in by the states. But he emphasized on the continuing need for the Government and the civil society to carry the message that education is a right to all people. The community mobilization and public awareness programme for RTE will commence from 11th November wherein a national event will be held in Nuh in Mewat in Haryana on 11th November. Similarly, events are expected to be held in every state and district of the country on that day.

An evocative message from the Prime Minister addressed to the children, with a covering letter from the Minister for Human Resource Development addressed to Head Teachers in all major languages will be mailed to each elementary school in the country and read out by the Head Teacher on 11th November 2011 in the school assembly in the presence of children/teachers/SMC members/Local Authority members, etc. during a day-long function in the school. This will be sent to all 13 lakh schools in the country. 

The national event will be a starting point for a yearlong campaign for making school RTE compliant. The approach for this includes:-

• State level meetings with national and state peoples’ networks, youth organizations and civil society organizations to participate in this massive national effort.

• Working Group consisting of Government and non-Government persons to carry forward the work at the State level.

• State Working Groups to identify around 30 volunteers in each of the 6000 blocks of the country.

• Block level volunteers to split into 10 groups of 3 persons each to visit all the 13 lakh schools.

• Carry the message of RTE and help the school plan how it would transform into an RTE-compliant school in the course of the next year.

UPMSSCB, UPSESSB / UP TGT PGT कड़ी निगरानी में होगी टीजीटी-पीजीटी परीक्षा नकल रोकने के लिए आवेदन पत्रों की मिक्सिंग होगी

 UPMSSCB, UPSESSB / UP TGT PGT कड़ी निगरानी में होगी टीजीटी-पीजीटी परीक्षा नकल रोकने के लिए आवेदन पत्रों की मिक्सिंग होगी

UP TGT PGT Exam Will Be on 25th August, 1st and 8th September 2013

 इलाहाबाद। उत्तर प्रदेश माध्यमिक शिक्षा सेवा चयन बोर्ड की टीजीटी-पीजीटी परीक्षा में अभ्यर्थियों का विश्वास बनाने के लिए कड़ी निगरानी की जाएगी। एक साथ आवेदन करने वाले अभ्यर्थियों का रोलनंबर आगे-पीछे न पड़े, इसके लिए चयन बोर्ड आवेदन पत्रों की मिक्सिंग कर रहा है। इसके जरिए एक ही विषय के दो अभ्यर्थियों को साथ-साथ आवेदन करने के बाद भी आगे-पीछे रोलनंबर नहीं मिलेगा। परीक्षार्थियों को आंसर सीट की कार्बन कॉपी देने के साथ परीक्षा वाले दिन ही सही उत्तर जारी कर दिया जाएगा।

बोर्ड की ओर से टीजीटी-पीजीटी परीक्षा का आयोजन 25 अगस्त, एक और आठ सितंबर को होगा।

चयन बोर्ड के अध्यक्ष डॉ. देवकी नंदन शर्मा ने बताया कि परीक्षा की शुचिता बनाए रखने के लिए इस बार आवेदन पत्रों की रैंडम तरीके से मिक्सिंग की जा रही है। मिक्सिंग के बाद रोलनंबर और परीक्षा केन्द्रों का आवंटन होगा। इसकी निगरानी वह स्वयं करेंगे। पता चला है कि परीक्षार्थी आवेदन के समय से ही परीक्षा पास करने की जुगत में लग जाते हैं। वह एक साथ आवेदन करने के बाद अनुक्रमांक की आगे-पीछे सेटिंग कर लेते हैं। इस बार आगे-पीछे रोलनंबर की सेटिंग नहीं की जा सकेगी। बताया कि परीक्षा के बाद अभ्यर्थियों को आंसर सीट की कार्बन कॉपी देने के साथ ही परीक्षा वाले ही दिन सभी विषयों के उत्तर जारी कर दिए जाएंगे। परीक्षार्थी अपने उत्तर का मिलान करने के बाद गलत प्रश्नों की आपत्ति चयन बोर्ड को भेज सकेंगे। चयन बोर्ड परीक्षार्थियों की आपत्ति का निस्तारण करने के बाद ही आंसर सीट का मूल्यांकन करेगा। बताया कि 2009 और 2010 की टीजीटी-पीजीटी परीक्षा के प्रश्नों को लेकर छात्रों की आपत्ति के बाद यह निर्णय लेना पड़ा। परीक्षा वाले दिन ही जारी होगा प्रश्नों का सही उत्तर

RTET : Gehlot accuses Raje of misleading people by making false promises


RTET : Gehlot accuses Raje of misleading people by making false promises





RTET / Rajasthan Teacher Eligibility Test News :



Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday accused BJP state president Vasundhara Raje of misleading people by making false promises during her Suraj Sankalp Yatra ahead of the assembly polls.

Lashing out at Raje, Gehlot said her promise to abolish Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), if voted to power, was a wrong commitment as the process to do away with TET was not in the hands of state government and the provision of TET was made in an Act passed by the Parliament and cannot be amended by the state.

"She is misleading people by making promises which cannot be fulfilled," Gehlot told reporters in Jaipur.
He said that Raje, before she became chief minister in 2003, also promised Gujjars to give them reservation but the promise could not be fulfilled which led to an agitation by the community during her regime.
Meanwhile, Raje, in her public meetings in Sikar, sought support of people to form next government with a promise of development.
"The urban-rural divide is increasing and there is development neither in cities nor in villages. People are migrating to cities but our government would give priority to urban as well as rural development," she said.

OTET : Poor show by teaching aspirants in eligibility test


OTET : Poor show by teaching aspirants in eligibility test
Teacher Eligibility Test News : -

BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) results, which were declared here on Wednesday, once again brought to the fore the quality of teachers at the school level.

Only 18% candidates cleared paper-1 meant for primary school, while 22% candidates cleared paper-2 for upper primary schools.

The OTET was introduced by the state in 2012 to improve the quality of teaching in schools. OTET certification is mandatory to become a teacher for classes I to VIII in any government school.



School and mass education minister Rabi Narayan Nanda, however, is happy with the result and said, "We are in a much better condition than other states. Poor result in teachers' eligibility tests has been a pan-Indian phenomenon. Even at the central level, the pass percentage is very low. But we are trying to improve the standard of teachers by improving the quality of teachers' training in Odisha."

Candidates, who have passed diploma in education and dont their BEd are eligible to take the test. Clearing paper-1 is mandatory for those wishing to teach in classes I to V, while paper-2 is for those wishing to teach classes VI to VIII. Aspirants, who wish to get certified for classes I to VIII need to clear both papers. About 88,000 candidates appeared for the test across 216 centres in the state this year. Last year, the success rate in papers 1 2 was 9% and 12% respectively.

Educationist Abani Baral said, "There is nothing to get astonished (by the results). Over the years, the standard of education has gone down in all spheres, which is why one sees such poor results. This is a good step, but it will further aggravate the teacher shortage problem."

Indu Bhusan Mohanty, the president of Orissa Senior Secondary Teachers' Association, said, "The curriculum should be upgraded regularly with more focus on changing trends of pedagogy."
