Out of which 15.96 lakhs are out of school children. Further the attendance monitoring revealed that about 8.79 lakhs children in the age group of 5 - 14 are irregular. The percentage o f out of schoolchildren is about 17.20 and irregular children are 9.49. The district-wise distribution of Out of school children is at Annexure 1 and 2.

Strategies for mainstreaming of out of school children

• Validating the lists of out of school children habitation-wise and findout the reasons for their non-schooling. • Conduct of awareness campaigns and community mobilisation by involving youth activists and other self help groups for sensitization of community, parents, employers on child labour vis-a-vis child rights and motivating for the education of child labour • Formation of core groups at habitation, cluster and mandal level for taking various activities for community mobilisation and relieving child labour from the employers. • Conduct of Kalajathas, Youth rallies, frequent meetings at habitation-level, cluster-level and mandal-level for the involvement of community and field staff for the schooling of out of school children. • Conduct of Residential bridge courses for child labour, other difficult groups and girls for mainstreaming. • Conduct of Non-Residential Bridge Courses at habitation level for dropouts and mainstreaming. • Conduct of back to school programme during summer for the mainstreaming of dropouts. • Opening of Alternative Schools in the schoolless habitations for improving the Access. • Mainstreaming of child labour through National Child Labour Project Schools.

The figures shows that there is a marked decreaise in the enrollment figures of class I for the current year when compared to last year anc enhancement in case of Class II for the current year. This is because of plannied actior taken for discouraging the retention and promoting all the class I into Class II.. Furthei because of decrease in the birth rate the enrollment in class I is low when cormpared tc last year. The enrollment in class I may also be due to opening of ECEs by DPEP anc Anganwadies by ICDS. Thereby the children below 5 years are being getting admitted into ECE till they attain the age of 5+.

2 0.5 Information on improvement on students' learning levels, identification of hard spots, improvement in classroom environment, etc. in formal and alternative schools

In the process o f assessing pupil performances in primary classes, achievement tests in Telugu and Maths subjects were developed at SPO, DPEP, Hyderabad in consultation with selected DIET Faculty members, classroom teachers and MRPs. The tests were designed in such a way that they are running tests for classes I to V which can reflect the higher level competencies of children in lower primary classes (Say classes I to 3) and lower level competencies of children in high primary classes (say classes 4 and 5) in each subject. Initially, the tests were proposed for administration in schools of identified Mandals in each District. Already, the tests were administered in 6 districts in July 2001 and data furnished to SPO after consolidation for getting the data computerized for analysis on mandal-wise and district-wise performances in each subject. In the remaining districts, the process of administration o f tests is going on.

Further, it was also decided to conduct the tests in schools of all the uncovered mandals of each district by reducing the number of test items in each subject. Accordingly, the tests were revised and sent to districts for administration in schools on 10 - 11 Sept 2001. The process of administration of tests is in various stages in the districts.

This process is aimed at assessing the level of pupil performance in Language and Mathematics in the context of DPEP interventions on Teacher-training suited to child- centred and activity-based pedagogy and development of textbooks in classes I to V on the same lines and for taking necessary measures to improve the pupil performance levels and thereby the quality of Primary Education.

• In Khammam district, the DPO staff in collabora with DIET staff have monitored a few schools mandals during 2000-2001. During their visits, DIET staff felt it essential to hold one- workshops in every mandal in order to sens teachers on Multi-Grade Teaching. Hence, one- workshops were held wherever necessary, pn feedback obtained and modified their strategics explained the same to selected teachers. The s technique is presently continued in these sele< schools. • Taking this as basis, the Stale Project Office specially redesigned the module on MGT introduced it as one major theme in the Mo<

26 meant for new Teachers. The Time Management is discussed at length with definite examples from Language, Maths and EVS and shown in the Module.______Target group

• For Multi-Level classes, class-II children are the target group throughout the state.

• For Multi-Grade classes, the target group is children of classes I to V in selected schools of Khammam district.

• For the Pilot study in Chcvclla mandal, Ranga Reddy district the target groups are children of cl asses II to V. • At the state level, all the identified District Resource Persons were sensitised on Multi-Grade Teaching & Multi-Level Teaching and this Resource Group is supposed to visit schools and see that Multi-Grade and Multi-Level Teaching is implemented as per the requirement. • During this year, stress is laid on development of Sclf-lnstructional Material (SIM). The Resource Groups were encouraged to develop Self-Instructional Material at TC level for all school subjects and asked to duplicate it in their respective schools, which could be used by children. • Similarly, Activity Frames were developed at Kurnool district. In these about 15 games are transformed into activity frames. Here, for each game activities related to Language, Mathematics and EVS are given.

Dropout Prevention Strategy:

An extensive analysis of the reasons of dropouts has been made based on the findings of 1II IS data. Data of one district viz. Bongaigaon is given below :

Total Child Population (6-9 Yrs) 96192 Boys 49466 51.42% Girls 46726 48.58% Total Enrolled Children 76832 79.87% Boys 39761 51.75% Girls 37071 48.25% Total Never Enrolled Children 13045 13.56% Boys 6483 49.70% Girls 6562 50.30% Total Dropout Children 5821 6.05% Boys 2870 49.30% Girls 2951 50.70%

30 Reasons Of Dropout/ Out of Schools: It is seen that majority (nearly 67%) of the children drop from schools due to poverty (36.90%) followed by non availability of schools within walking distance (29.81%). It can also be noted that around 13% of the children are reported to be child worker/labor. The other reasons viz. sibling care, ill health, disability, fear of schools are found to be of insignificant.

Based on the survey findings following major strategies have been adopted:

• Relocation of AS Centers in identified pockets. • Community mobilization. • Extensive Planning under DEEP, SSA. • Focus on Moqtabs to cover minority Muslim girls’. • Observance of Dropout Prevention Week and Retention Drive • Area and reason specific special intervention. • Mechanisms being developed for child to child monitoring based on Computerized 1-1 HS Data. " • Conduct of Bridge Courses

Special Intervention For Dropout Prevention -A Case Study:

Background: The EM1S data indicated that almost half of the repeater students are concentrated in class-1 and dropouts arc also mostly from Class-1. The 1 1th and 12lh JRM also expressed concern about the high repetition and dropout at Class I. The matter was discussed at different level and it was decided to plan for intervention in specific area to contain the phenomena of repetition and dropouts.

The Intervention: The intervention was undertaken as a part of Action Research. The field survey was undertaken at Biswanath Block of Sonitpur district during the month of October 2000. Data were collected on irregular and slow learners in addition to dropout and repeaters in Class 1. The total number of 1295 children were identified and categorized into above four

31 categories. At total of 555 children (Boys 51% and Girls 49%) comprised of 2% SC, 19% ST, 36% Tea Tribe and 43% General Category were sclcctcd for special intervention Out of 555 targeted children, 504 numbers were repeaters and 51 dropout. The dropout children were those who were not engaged in any domestic or other works and free to attend normal school hours. All these children were drawn from 47 LP schools.

A school was selected as the Learning Center so that the children of two to three neighboring school can be covered by one learning center. A total of 29 learning centers were setup. One BLRG and one CLRG were engaged in each learning center to undertake the special intervention. The BLRG members were engaged for the supervision of all activities of the learning centers. The regular teachers of the concerned schools who were not engaged in the Census Operations also participated in this special drive. The CRCC’S were entrusted with the overall responsibility. A special module for improvement of the level of learning was developed. According to the main competencies of Class I Textbook, activities with TLM were developed. A Period of 45 days was planned for the intervention. The actual intervention took place during January-February 2001 when normal functioning of the schools was suspended due to the engagement of teachers in Census 2001 and other environment building activities by DPEP. During the period the RPs took special classes with the help of the module prepared for the purpose.

The Outcome: Out of 555 children, 513 appeared in the special evaluation conducted at the end of 45 days intervention and 496 children were successfully promoted to the next higher class i.e. class-11. The rate of success is 89% and is almost proportionate between both the gender, viz boys-89.75% and girls 89.75%. As regard caste wise performance of the children it was seen that the success rate was 100% for SC, followed by 93% for Tea Tribes, 90% for ST and 85% for General Community students. In 14 learning centers all children came out successfully. The success rate was found to be less than 50% in only one learning center.

C. Teacher Appointment And Vacancies

The appointment of teachers rests with the state govt. As per apparent teacher pupil ratio there should not have any requirement of teachers. However existence of almost 18% of single teacher school and large number of multi-grade schools there is a need of redeployment of the teachers. The govt, has been supplied school wise information and being pursued at all levels for rational distribution of teachers.

On the part DPEP no new appointments have been made in the formal schools.

D. Teachers By Type

No para teacher or contract teacher have been engaged by DPEP Assam and state of Assam also. However in AS Sikslia Mitras were engaged on recommendations of the concerned VECs on purely temporary basis.

To meet the specific needs ofteachcrs Need based teachers training has been conductcd in all the districts in phased manner.

The need-based training is conductcd through the following steps:

• Need assessment • Module preparation • Teachers training

F. Monitoring and follow-up of teachers training:

Different level of functionaries including DLRG/ARG members and Education department officials make support visits in schools for follow-up of training. The support visits keep an eye on the implementation of school development plan, which incorporates directly, or indirectly the training inputs. Besides, the follow-up also takes place at the monthly teachers meet at CRC level and meeting of CRCCs at BRC level.

Future Plan for Teacher Development:

The capacity building of the teachers to attain a desired school level change has been initiated holistically through different training programmes and material inputs.

• The model school approach helps the teachers of others schools of the cluster for professional growth • Need assessment and need based training

Six DIETs have been established in Assam in the year 1989. During the course of time another thirteen DIETs have been established. Total number of functional DIETsis 18. Seven of the nine DPEP Districts are having DIETs. The DPEP-Districts of Bongaigaon has DRC and the Karbi Anglong district is yet to establish a DIET. A full flagged Basic Training Center is functioning at Diphu.

Apart from their own Pre-Service and In-Service Training Programme, the DIETS of the DPEP Districts with their seven departments (PSTE, INFAC, ET, WE, DRU, CMD, P&M) have been rewarding resource support in the implementation of various DPEP-Activities in the districts.

Efforts Taken for Strengthening of the DIETS:

• Establishment of 70-seated Hostel (five complete and three under construction) • Library books. • TV, VCR. Dish Antenna, Fox, Telephone, Xerox Machine, Vehicle, Furniture etc. • Financial Support in the form of contingency. • Exposure visit both inside and outside the state. • Participation in national and state level training and workshop. • Playing of role as the ARG/DLRG members. • Conduct of action research. • Conduct of various studies. • Field Visits. • ARG/DLRG Meet. • Playing of role as SLRG. • Conduct of training module preparation workshop. • Participation in the strategy training, materials, development workshop both at state and district level. • Financial support for conduct of various activities and training programme. • Allotment of two Bodo Medium lecturers at the DIET Darrang • Allotment of Lab Schools • Initiation of Institutional Development Plan • Supply of DPEP news letter AHBAN & other materials

Programme Management And Implementation

A. Example of outcome, process, input indicators to tackle district /sub-district level issues:

The idea is that the CRC co-ordinator w'ould make an effort to sort the problems in their monthly meeting with the teachers and VECs itself; and the CRC co-ordinator would send a report on the prescribed format to the Block Resource Centre Co-ordinator. If however there arc any problems which could not be handled in the or by the individual effort of the CRC co­ ordinators he/she would prepare a brief note on the unresolved problems and send it onward to the BRC co-ordinator: This note is discussed in one of the fortnightly meetings of the CRC co-ordinators in the Block Resource Centre. Here too, in this stage the emphasis is 0 1 1 thrashing out the issues with an effort to finding solutions to the problems. On failing to find a solution at BRC level, the BRC co-ordinator sorts out the problems into academic and non­ academic categories based on the nature of their contents. The academic problems are referred to the District Academic Resource Group and the non-academic to the Block Level Education Committee and BEEO. The BRC co-ordinator also sends a detailed report on the problems being referred, to the District ARG and BLEC respectively to the Districts Project Office. The DPC with the assistance of the concerned programme officers function as facilitator in solving the problems and also process and consolidate the reports for analysis, evaluation and further action. The District Project Office submits a consolidated report to the State Project Officc on which further interaction takes place.

Prompt action at all levels is crucial to the functioning of the entire response mechanism. Once decisions arc taken 0 1 1 any issue at any level, the information and action taken is conveyed immediately along the entire chain especially to that particular school/VEC'/CRC/BRC where the problem originated. It is emphasised that prompt action is taken and the School/VEC is not kept w'aiting for information for more that 1-2 months.

Whenever at the higher level information is received through the feedback mechanism of decision and solutions at the lower rungs which arc either erroneous or detrimental to the programme etc. corrective action is immediately taken and information conveyed to all concerned.

71 Few examples of such situations are demonstrated below:

Situation Level Action taken The VFC of village ‘X ’ lias received a 1. VFC level Corrects nomenclature. cheque of Rs. 2,000.00 but has failed lo encash it as the local bank says the 2.

Status O f Programmes In Dpep-I Districts

A. Status with respect to DPEP’s development objectives

As regards progress towards achievement of DPEP goals that is ensuring 100% access, reducing disparities amongst social groups to less than 5%, reducing drop out rate upto 10%, increasing the achievement levels of the students by 25% over Base Line achievement level, capacity building and other outcome indicators, substantial progress has been registered by DPEP Assam except in case of ensuring 100%) access.

To assess the status of access, a House-to-House Education Survey was conducted in January 2001. For analysis of the data, software has been developed. Habitation wise entry into the computer is under progress.

The pedagogical renewal process initiated by DPEP for improvement of quality has resulted in increase of the learning levels of the children. The Mid-term assessment survey conducted for both the phase-1 and II districts has shown improvement of performance in all fields.

As regards the goal of' reducing the disparities amongst gender and social groups, it is seen that there are no disparities amongst the gender in case of enrolment. Regarding disparities in learning achievements, it has been found that almost all districts have achieved the goal with minor differences in a few districts.

H. Change in the Primary Education System

Most of the interventions of DPEP have started paying dividends in the over all system of education. Some of such activities, which have attracted attention and contributing towards the change in the schooling processes and school support system, are being replicated in the entire state.

With the renewed pedagogical approach and emphasis on participatory school management, DPEP has brought the teacher to the centre stage as the principal change agent. Efforts made to professionally equip the teachers using a new training strategy; improved instructional material, on-site academic support and institutional capacity building have shown positive results.

73 Along with teachers the focus on child centric learning and child development has also impacted positively. An innovative intervention in this direction is the formation of student govt, in all schools. The student government now takes active and effective participation in the holistic planning process of the school. The students have developed a sense of ownership to the school. They actively take part in the learning process as well as in other non-academic issues like - absenteeism of co-learners, drop-out, holding PTA meet, convergence with other schools of the neighbourhood.

Revised textbooks that match the activity-based, child-centred pedagogy have been introduced. The assimilation of the new pedagogy (activity based, child-centred) in training and material development in an integrated manner has now become the norm. There has been a significant shift in the approach, content, duration and frequency of the in-service teacher training programmes. More than 29,000 teachers have been provided in-service training. The grant to teachers for development of TLM has not only generated a wide variety of TLMs consistent with the new pedagogical approach but has also helped in the process of teacher empowerment by building their confidence, capacity and developing a greater sense of involvement in the classroom processes.

The pedagogical inputs which are evolved during the course of DPEP internets have been incorporated into the pre-service and in-service teacher training programme of the state. The monthly centre meets of the teachers arc also adopted the practice of academic discussion. This seemed to be a dived influence and hovi/.ontal propagation of the monthly CRC level teacher meet.

The increasing involvement of BRC and CRC personnel in training programmes has ensured that training programmes are relevant to classroom requirement. It has also been ensured that the trainings are relevant to the trainers and responsible for regular academic support to teachers. BRC'Cs and CRCCs have also contributed in establishing a regular monitoring and supervision mechanism. Support coming from SRGs and DRGs constituted under DPEP, in the area of training, academic support, supervision and monitoring has ably supplemented the efforts of the BRC'Cs and CRCCs.

Along with these project functionaries DPEP has also developed a strong Resource Persons Group at all levels. The effective use of the services of these groups at various stages of implementation has facilitated the improvement of the over all delivery system.

The involvement of the block and district level education officials during the implementation process especially in the supervision of the programme has been found to be very useful and productive. This has led to a considerable perceptional change amongst the govt, officials.

In order to elicit best results by enabling the programmes to evolve and retain its dynamic character, support interventions such as improved management practices, decentralised planning, research, monitoring, evaluation and supervision go hand to hand with the programme interventions in DPEP. Capacity building and networking have further reinforced the efforts to optimise programme outputs and ensure sustainability. All these have made a positive impact on the management of over all Primary education system. The Research studies conducted have indicated possible areas of interventions needed for further improvement of the educational system.

74 Realising the difference an appropriate management culture could make in achieving t] goals of UEE, DPEP is working towards institutionalisation of the same, across the primal education system by routing the implementation. For example the introduction of MIS hi brought remarkable change in the database management concept and planning based on dal Planning has become much more realistic and contextual because of the introduction EM IS and PM IS and regular flow of information.

The multi-pronged inputs for improving retention have positively impacted the situation ; per studies conducted. Prior to DPEP there was no system of mainstreaming the left o children. Implementation of AS has resulted not only coverage of around 1.27 lacs out i school children but also mainstreaming of a large number of children.

Another new initiative that has resulted changes in the education system is the introduction i Integrated Education for Disabled Children. The integration of the disabled children in tl mainstream schooling through readiness centres and other motivational and orientatic programmes is a new concept introduced by DPEP. The training of teachers on disabilii concept has brought a remarkable conceptual change amongst the mindset of the teacher Besides the training of community members and home visit programmes ol'IED has brougl awareness and better understanding about the concept of disability and need of the educatic of disable children.

Effectiveness of DPEP interventions in regard to community mobilisation and participant seem promising, as the credibility of the programme has found roots in the communit Instances of community’s initiatives arc clearly seen. The community’s enthusiasm meeting some of the essential supply-side issues has been found encouraging. It is seen th retired teachers, community persons also take classes, apart from their participation on oth' development aspects of the school. Instances are these that the teachers, community pcrsoi from the neighbourhood areas turn-up to observe the class demonstration in a school where the Teaching Learning process is carried out ideally. Community members arc also takir part in the running and enrichment of on effective school library.

VECs have performed their roles in retention and reduction of dropouts. In the latter rol they have assisted in strengthening and maintenance of physical infrastructure of the schoc It is anticipated that the VECs would gradually emerge as a viable village institutio addressing a range of human development issues at the village level. The govt, of Assam hi also accepted the viability of the VECs and constituted VECs in the entire state. The recei initiatives of the govt, for entrusting the VECs to implement some of the major central! sponsored schemes can be cited as an example of the success of DPEP in effecting the systei of primary education.

Women’s participation in activities, through VECs and other village-based organisatioi launched by DPEP or Mahila Samakhya has been influential in focusing on the need c Women empowerment and Girls’ education.

Teleconference Programme had been conducted for the first time for the cause of Primal education and this has definitely changed the perceptions of the training options in th educational scenario. Besides, the Self Instructional Materials, Supplementary Readin materials, Video demonstration on Good Classroom Practices developed for the teachers go long way in the efficient handling/management of classroom situations and enhancement c the Learning Levels of the children. The participation of the Educational Administrator:

75 DIET and SCERT faculties has opened new avenues to be explored in future educational endeavours.

The role and importance of Primary Education has got wider dimension because of the extensive use o f AIR (All India Radio ) and TV.

The experience of DPEP has shown that the importance of ECE in realising the UEE objectives and continuous supply of quality inputs to the primary section is enormous. ECE in Assam has proved to be a successful pre school intervention as it has been able to bring about a holistic due & desired change/developments in the children besides school readiness. Various in house studies have shown that there exists a remarkable difference between the children of ECE & non-ECE background. ECE intervention has also resulted in a replicable, viable & successful model. It may be noted that inspite of the absence of the incentive components it has proved more successful than ICDS & parents would prefer bringing their wauls from distant places to admit their children in ECE centres. Most of the community members, MG, SMG have volunteered to continue the ECE centres even after the project period.

For the first time the concept of research in primary education has been introduced and popularised by DPEP. Follow-up and continuance of the research programmes would have a definite impact on the over all education system. The practice of Action Research by the teachers and other practitioners will also impact on the classroom process.

Significant improvement in terms of Infrastructural improvement has been registered. The iitlisation of the 24% of the EFC cost for civil works has a visible impact in the district. For example schools without drinking water facilities has come down to 44% in 2000-01 from 67% during 1997-98. Similarly schools without toilet has come down to 79% in 2001 form 90% in 1997.

C. Implementation Status o f various components:

Most of the major interventions of different components have been successfully implemented so far. However, the irregular flow of fund has caused delay, subsequent rescheduling and reduction of targets in many cases. In-fact in last three years only half the approved budget had been received. The targeted resource institutions viz. CRC, BRC, AS, ECE centres have been opened. Physical and institutional supports are being provided as per need. 90% of the civil works have been completed. The training of teachers and VEC members have been organised on a number occasions. However, due to non-availability of qualified personnel the targeted expansion on IED could not take place. The detailed component wise status has been reported in the JRM State Report Part-I & II.

D. Studies undertaken/planned for final evaluation

Final evaluation studies undertaken by MHRD are being implemented by DPEP Assam. From state level it has been decided to undertake a dropout study.

76 E. Commitments made bv the state Govt, on sustainability:

The Government of Assam in Education Department has already constituted the Village Education Committees in all non-DPEP districts, formed the DLRG taking the DIETs/BTCs as key institutions and BLRG in the Blocks to assist the primary schools in academic matters. The practice of monthly teachers meeting at the CRC level and to discuss academic matters has also been started in the Non-DPEP districts at Block level though in a very limited scale. Further, the GOA has agreed in principle to collect school level data through the DISE format presently used in DPEP and to plan on the basis of the EMIS data thus generated.

In addition to the above which is in a way shows the commitment of the GOA towards adopting the practice in the programme (DPEP), the onset of the SSA will fully integrate the mainstream education to the methodology followed under DPEP.

F. Utilisation of Excess Fund

During 2000-01, a proposal was submitted to GOI to increase the EFC Cost of DPEP-I districts as a whole by an amount of Rs. 286.19 Lacs. The GOI has approved the proposal now. Though there was district wise figure, yet while the Final AWP&B 2001-02 of DPEP-I districts and State component s made, it has been seen that some variation in requirement of excess fund arises. For example while the computation of the cxccss fund requirement was done, it was seen that Darrang will need only 95.28 Lacs in cxccss of already approved EFC while Dhubri will need Rs.223.94 Lacs and State Component Rs. 266.46 lacs. However, after the Final AWP&B 2001-02 is prepared, the actual requirement of fund district wise will be as under:

Darrang- Rs. 157.29 Lacs Dhubri Rs. 266.40 Lacs State Component; Rs. 119.94 Lacs.

Likewise the savings in Morigaon and Karbi Anglong, which was estimated at Rs. 34.77 Lacs & Rs. 264.71 Lacs, respectively which stood at Rs. 136.34 Lacs and Rs. 121.10 Lacs.

The district wise and component wise allocation of the excess fund arc as follows:

Component State Darrang Dhubri Civil Works 27.43 Training Cost 20..00 12.00 55.00 Workshop/Seminar 35.00 5.00 42.00

Books & Libraries 10.00 -- Salaries of Staffs 25.00 92.57 140.00 Consumables ( including School Infrastructure giant, 29.94 20.29 29.39 Honorarium etc) Total 119.94 157.29 266.39

77 Besides above it has also been planned to utilise an amount of Rs.29.90 crores in 14 non- DPEP districts. The summary of the component wise plan of expenditure is given below:

Objective 1

• Out of School Children : Out of school children totalling 49422 are enrolled in the v arious schemes of Alternative Schooling System.

Strategy to cover out of school children :

Enrollment Drive (Praveshotsav):

Enrollment drives are organised during month of June every year at the village level, during which all eligible school going children of Class I are enrolled. Each school prepares a list of eligible children to be enrolled in Class I, so as to secure total enrolment. If in case any child is left out, he/she is brought back into schooling system with the help and support of VEC, MTA, PTA members.

Alternative Schooling System:

To cover the never enrolled and drop-out children two schemes are operationalised in Gujarat, i.e. Back to School and Bridge Course.

Back to School Scheme

Under Back to School programme those who are never enrolled & dropped-out due to variety of socio-economic reasons are being covered. The duration of the scheme is maximum 30 months. Children are mainstreamed in regular schools after they achieve adequate levels of learning.

In this programme, the Village Education Committee (VEC) identifies never enrolled and drop-out children and makes a proposal to start a Alternative School/Center for a minimum of 5 and maximum of 20 children . This school has flexible time and location. Intense community involvement, decentralised management and rigorous academic monitoring by AS Supervisors (1 per 20 centers) are ensured. Teaching Learning IMaterial is provided by DPEP and teachers are trained to prepare such materials locally. Relevant books, magazines and other instructional materials are also provided.

Bridge course

The Bridge course is meant for those children who are enrolled in the school but who temporarily discontinue the studies due to migration of their parents. The scheme supports children in a short span of 60 - 90 days to cover the course content they have missed due to migration. This scheme covers the children belonging to seasonal migrant labourers, sugarcane harvesters and children engaged in agricultural activity like cotton plucking.

144 To reduce disparities between social groups, SC, ST and girls in enrollment to less than 5%, tribal and girls specific AS centres have been opened. Mobilization campaigns were launched using local folk media in tribal areas and among communities which normally discourages education of girls.

Local women groups like Mahila Sangam Volunteers in Dangs and Mahila Sarpanches and Mahila Mandals in Panchmahals have played an active role in mobilizing the community to enroll the eligible school going children into school.

Taking inspiration from the success of Bridge Course programme in dist. Dangs, provisions for opening o f 1150 such centres in Banaskantha, 1570 centres in Panchmahal fend 150 centres in Dangs have been made in AWP&B for 2001-2002. The Bridge Course centres (2870), are going to cover an approximate 49500 number of children in three project districts. ;

Resource Persons (RP) were trained for three days at the district level. RPs subsequently trained Balmitras at the BRC level. By August 31, 2001, 1259 in Banaskantha, 1385 in Panchmahal and 115 Bridge Course centres were opened.

No doubt, the achievement is satisfactory, still there is room for improvement. Constant efforts are being made to improve retention among children belonging to ST, SC and Girls belonging to conservative communities. Special mobilization campaigns have been launched for improving the retention of the above mentioned categories o f children.

To cover the hardest to reach groups especially the tribals and migrating children, Tribal specific AS centres and bridge course centres have been opened.

• Students Learning Level

As per the MAS study the learning level of students has been significantly improved. However, students performance of Class 1 in Mathematics and Language has been relatively superior to that of Class III. Faster and updated pedagogical inputs with activity based joyful learning in Class I may have been instrumental in such outstanding results. Similar efforts are being made in case of Class III also.

In regard to the results on gender-wise differences in students achievement in Language and Mathematics in Class I and Class III, the results revealed that in all three project districts the gender bias has been overcome. To maintain the present balance between the genders steps to increase students achievement level are taken.

147 To reduce the gap in achievement level across the social groups, especially the STs and SCs students, specific pedagogical inputs such dictionaries and glossaries of local words were developed to improve the quality of teachers. Contextual literature has been developed using the locally available resources. While explaining the concepts, illustrations and examples were drawn from tribal festivals, ceremonies and tribal culture and their socio-cultural environment, tribal songs, folk tales, legends and riddles from tribal oral traditions are increasingly used in classroom transaction. Lesson cards have been developed based on the formal text books. Activities like story telling, action songs, puppets etc, are extensively used at the centres. Context based supplementary material for Std I to V, in local language have been printed and distributed in all the schools of tribal areas of DPEP districts.

• Identification of hard spots :

The CRC Co-ordinators in their routine visits to schools personally observe the classroom situations and discuss hard spots in various subjects with the concerned teachers and the school headmasters. These hard spots are cleared through demonstration lessons. The CRC Co-ordinator takes the help of Master Trainers of specific subjects as and when required. Similarly, during the in-service teachers training programmes special orientation training has been imparted to teachers at the BRCs.

A Special Orientation for Primary Teachers (SOPT) training was held at DIET, Santrampur, on hard spots of Std. V for subjects. Viz, Mathematics, Science, Gujarati, and Social Studies. A total of 2575 teachers were trained.

• Improvement in Classroom environment

The Classroom environment in schools of project districts has been significantly improved due to availability of required no of teachers, building their competence and motivation level and availability of adequate teaching learning materials at the Block Resource Centres. Following are the indicators of improved classroom environment.

1. With the recruitment 10684 Vidyasahayaks the pupil-teacher ratio has been significantly improved and most of them have completed atleast the first round of in­ service teachers training. I. Community based teachers have been recruited in case of AS centres. J. For the post of AS Balmitra, 12th pass girls are being given preference. In case of non-availability of female candidate the male member with the qualification is considered. Besides, a lady AS Balmitra is given 10 rupees more in monthly salary than her male counterpart. Steps like this have encouraged more lady AS Balmitras to join AS centres. 4. School grant and teacher grants are being utilized effectively. This is evident in variety of teaching learning materials developed by teachers and their use in classroom transaction. 5. Training imparted to teachers for development and effective use of TLMs.

148 6. Effective supervision by community viz., VEC, MTA, PTA has led to improvement in teacher attendance as well as student attendance. 7. Reforms in textbooks and syllabus with competency based and activity based joyful learning has made the learning stimulating and brought creativity in students. 8. Removal of gender stereo types from textbooks has brought in equity. 9. New schools and classrooms have been built keeping in mind the pedagogical requirements and special toilets for girls have improved the attendance and retention of students particularly girls. 10. Preparation o f Balmitra Vargs for providing joyful learning to students of Std. I and II is a great success in Gujarat. While the State Government provides only a small part of the cost for preparing such classrooms, the teachers have been able to obtain local contribution. A typical Balmitra Varg is a classroom decorated with colourful education charts and paining which act as a teaching learning aids. The lower part of the wall is painted black where children can scribble or draw picture with a chalk stick. 11. At the AS centres burdenless education is promoted. Teaching is carried out through lesson cards. Activities like story telling, action songs, puppets are extensively used at those centres. 12. Tribal songs, folk tales, legends and riddles from oral traditions are integrated into pedagogy to make the learning process context and culture specific.

♦ Estimation by Phase II state, Gujarat and districts of availability of funds for the remaining period of the programme and planning for the same.

Districtwise, Componentwise, and Yearwise, expenditure from 96-97 to 2000-01, in case of Panchmahal, Banaskantha & State Project Office, the total project expenditure, after considering the provision of Annual Work Plan & Budget of 2001-02, exceeds total EFC cost in rupee term. However, it does not exceed in dollar term. It can be seen from the enclosed statement that the expenditure has been exceeded in the following components. See the tables on expenditures attached to this document.

153 ( i'' Civil Works 'It Equipments 3 ) Workshop/ Seminars (■ ) Awareness C a ^ a fc , Tl M development (5) Salary of Staff (6) Office Expenditure

Justification/ reasons for above items:

(1) Civil works:- The provision for the Civil works was 18% in EFC approved layout, whereas we have gone upto 24% in view of the necessity of physical infrastructure, particularly repairing of schools. (2) Equipments:- It seems that the original provision in on very lower side. Moreover, we have equipped the BRCs with Computer, Printer, Photocopier, OHP, TV OHP etc, The same was proposed in the yearly Annual Work Plan & Budget and approved by the Project Board/ Ministry of Human Research & Development. The capacity of the DIET, SCERT and State Project Office has been built up by providing computers, Printers, Photo Copier, Copy Printer, Water Cooler, Air condition etc. (3) Workshop/ Seminars;- Expenditure on Workshop/ Seminars has also increased due to the inclusion of new areas like IED, ALS etc. Which were introduced after the project started in 1996-97. (4) Awareness Campaign, TLM:- With a view to mobilise the community at large, more awareness campaigns have been included in the project. The enrollment drive is being organised at each school of the project every year. Rs. 300/- per school is made available to the Village Education Community for this purpose. The alternative schooling was launched in the 3rd year of the project. The original EFC document does not have this prevision. The cost of TLM in the ALS Centre has also contributed to excess expenditure on TLM as compared to provision in EFC cost. , (5) Salary of staff:- The expenditure on salary of CRCC and BRCC has gone up sharply due to the 5th Pay Commission revision. Which was accepted by Govt, of Gujarat for primary school teachers. (6) Office Expenses:- It seems that the original provision for office expenditure was also on lower side & conservative. For example, in case of Panchmahal Rs. 3 lacs & Banaskantha Rs. 1.20 lacs for 7 years have been proposed. This has gone up sharply and is reflected in the expenditure up to March - 2001.

|The project period is upto June’2003. As per the projection, up to June’2003, the EFC approved limit would cross in all the District & State component in Rupee term. However, this will be well within the limit in dollar term. This increase is , due to the reasons as mentioned above and excess expenditure on school grant and teacher grant in coming years. In view of the above facts and justifications, request has been made to approve the revised expenditures crossing EFC cost.

4. Strategies adopted to include out of school children

Besides effectively enforcing the various incentive schemes of the State/Central Govt., the DPEP H.P. is mainly focussing on the mobilization of Mother Teacher Associations and Village Education Committees (VECs) to achieve the enrolment of out of school children and sustain them within the system for the completion of primary cycle. The provisions of H.P. Compulsory Primary Education Act 1997 can also be helpful in this regard.

With a view to strengthen the skills of primary school teachers in handling the teaching learning process of disabled children effectively, an in-service teachers training module has been developed by the State Project Office. It is a 190 sessions long module (each session with 90 minutes duration) spread over 45 days. The first batch of the inservice training was conducted at DIET Nahan w.e.f. 4.1.2001 to 28.2.2001. 36 participants from Chamba, Kullu, Sirmour & Bilaspur took part in it. The second batch of the inservice training was also conducted at DIET Nahan w.e.f 7.3.2001 to 28.4.2001. 30 participants from Chamba, Kullu, Sirmour, Bilaspur and Mandi took part in it. ii. Capacity building in handling of MGT in actual classroom situations.

As 92% schools in the DPEP districts have multigrade situations, the response of the teachers to different trainings revealed the need for capacity building in handling of multigrade in the actual classroom situations. Therefore, the districts decided to take the trainings to the classroom situations at the cluster and lower levels. The focus of trainings and capacity building has now shifted towards child centered activity based teaching learning experiences in the multigrade situations with 2 teachers and 5 classes model. The feed back from the clusters during 2001-02 trainings indicates better response to these trainings from the teachers as well as students.

iii. Training of para-teachers

The DPEP H.P. developed a 21 days long training module for the induction training of Vidya Upasaks (para-teachers) in the state. A training manual titled “ Samarth” was also developed on the basis of this module. All the para-teachers in the state were imparted 21 days induction training in July-August,2000 through the DIETs before their induction into the schools. The induction training has been followed by another in-service training of 30 days during July-August,2001 on the basis of second phase module developed by DPEP.

Process for monitoring and follow up of training in schools.

190 Monthly meetings of teachers, CHTs and CRCCs are convened at the cluster level by the districts. Different trainings are followed up and discussed in these meetings besides the discussions on various issues. The CRCCs in turn convey the feed back to the block and district level during the block and district level meetings. The evaluation wing of SPO had also taken up a sample study of about 200 schools in Sirmour district to find out about the use of TLM and activities in classroom processes.

Study on classroom processes

A study on classroom processes from the gender perspective has been launched in the state. The data is being collected and compiled. The study is likely to be completed shortly.

Strategy for teachers development.

The districts have planned to build strong cluster resource groups to provide the on site support to the teachers. The focus of trainings has now shifted to handling of MGT in actual school situations. The members of the CRGs shall be conducting the various trainings in live situations.

So far as the Vidya Upasaks (para-teachers) are concerned, a 21 days induction training was imparted to all the vidya upasaks by the districts at the time of their induction into the teaching profession. The induction training is being followed by one month in­ service training every year during the vacations.

The teachcr training is further being supplemented through the distance mode utilising the services of Radio stations. A teachcr training programme titled “ Gyan Kalash” is aired through the All India Radio station, Shimla every Thursday and Saturday at 7.05 PM to 7.20 PM. A question based on the content of the programme is also aired after every programme to which the registered teachers respond regularly.

Efforts made to improve functioning of the support structures and institutes, namely CRCs, BRCs, DIETs and SCERTs; any initiatives for involving other human resource to work with schools and the above structures and organisations, for example, community groups, NGOs, universities etc.?

DIETs have adopted certain schools as laboratory schools to take up tcachcrs training and related activities. The Kullu district has developed a mechanism for the monthly meetings of BRCCs and DIET faculties wherein various teachers training issues are discusscd and tic ups for resource support are made. DIET Sirmour has created a DPEP cell from amongst the DIET faculties to take up DPEP interventions. MTA of Chhani school in Naggar block in Kullu district enrolled 2 disabled children in school and achieved 100% target of school enrolment. They also prepared children for cultural programme for tournament and achieved 1st prize among 24 schools of the block. The MTA have also provided one teacher in the school. The MTA of Tharku school in Kullu-II block of Kullu district distributed medicines free of cost to the school children with the help of doctors and also provides pcncils, slates & pens to the needy students from time to time. 191 In case of GPS Bhujnoo in Naggar block of Kullu district MTA collected funds to provide a community teacher to the school as the only teacher posted in the school was transferred on promotion. VEC GPS Bandal (Kullu-II) have deputed a teacher in the school from PTA.

Towards Achieving Goals!

1. ENTITY: To provide universal access to the children of 6-11 years of age, schools were provided in 1250 school-less habitations with population 200+. Enrolment has been considerably increased in the first three years. However, there could be seen a declining trend in the enrolment in the year 2000-01; in the phase-1 districts.

Enrolment in DPEP-1 districts Enrolment in DPEP-II districts 1200000 2400000 1180000 196-97 c E 2300000 a> 1160000 E 1140000 m 97-98 | 2200000 o 1120000 2 2100000 c 1100000 §98-99 UJ £ 2000000 1080000 □ 99-00 1060000 1900000 □ 2000-01 Year

Enrolment in standard 1 in phase-1 districts has a decreasing trend over the years. The enrolment was 319404 in the year 1997-98 and 312988 in the year 1999-00 and thus decreasing by 2.04%. However, there was an increase in Kolar and Raichur districts, whereas decrease in Belgaum and Mandya districts. The enrolment in the DPEP Phase-2 districts also shows a decreasing trend, except in Bidar district. The decrease in enrolment is attributed to the decrease in child population. The crude birth rate was estimated as 22.7 in 1996 as per sample registration scheme as against 25.2 during 1991 as per census.

> Determine the extent to which the programme targets have been achieved and identify the remaining areas of difficulty, with special emphasis on:

• Emerging trends and strategies in terms of reaching the out of school children

In-spite of increase in total enrolment, during the house-to-house survey conducted during January, 2001, still 11.12% of children of age group 6-14 are found to be out of school, and 5.06% belong to the age group of 6-11. However, inter-district variations exist. Raichur and Gulbarga districts capture the first and second places having 26.73% and 25.76% of children of age group 6-14 out of school, which causes much concern and warranted immediate measures to bring these children back to school. 'HOUSEHOLD SURVEY' - KARNATAKA'S INITIATIVE: During the month of January 2001, an intensive 'House-to-House Survey' was launched to identify the

- 0-14 age group population - number of school going children - out of school children - both non-entrants and drop-outs; and - population of the children with disability

As a result, a vast data is available which flagged many concerns for immediate interventions. One being the existence of a large number of out of school children in the districts ranging from 1.14% in Udupi district to 26.73% in Raichur district. Overall, the state has 1 1.12% of children of 6-14 years of age out of school. Now, each habitation / village has child-by-child profile which has been documented. A set has been given to the Gram Panchayat, one to Cluster Resource Centre (CRC) and the other to the School for further monitoring. The Data Capture Format (DCF) and the training was designed by the DPEP and supported by the Department of Public Instruction. With the data on hand, the department went with an ambitious plan of bringing I lakh of these out of school children to formal stream through 'CHINNARA A N G A L A ' - A SUMMER BRIDGE COURSE PROGRAMME.

The target for DPEP districts was 80,000, out of which 71071 were on rolls and 67242 of them have been inducted to the formal schooling system. Their retention and achievement is being monitored continuously.

In its second phase, Chinnara Angala covers 611 ccntres in the seven districts of North-East Karnataka to bring 22,244 out of school children of age group 7-1 1 to the formal schooling system during this Octobcr-November. There shall be a constant vigil over these children to sec that all the enrolled attend the formal school regularly and thus 100% enrolment and 100% retention could be achieved.

Bottle-necks:

Some of the bottlenecks in reaching out of school children as identified are as under:

• Spatial range is too large • These are the children of marginalised groups • Demand for labour • 40% of population are self-employed artisans, shop keepers, who do not see value for education and lake the help of their children right from their childhood • 35% of labourers are land-less, who lake the help of their children for supplementing their wages

2. E Q U IT Y Equ ity thrusts on the emerging trends with respect to special groups girls, children belonging to the socially disadvantaged groups in terms of access, retention, repetition and learning outcomes.

*1* In terms of enrolment, the overall increase in enrolment for Boys in Lower Primary Classes (I to IV) is 10.04% during the year1999-2000 when compared with the enrolment during 1997-98; whereas the increase

196 in respect of girls is 12.46%. When gender equity is considered in enrolment, only Raichur and Gulbarga districts have a difference of 6 and 5 respectively during 2000-01 from that of 10 and 11 in the year 1997-98. Increase in respect of SC children is 13.15% and that of ST children is 10.92%. GER in respect boys was at 105 and that of girls at 101 and NER stood at 98 and 96 in respect of boys and girls respectively during 2000­ 01.

❖ Retention rates have considerably increased vis-a-vis decreasing the drop­ out rates. The increase in retention rate among girls is significant. The following table gives a bird’s eye view of the retention rates.

Y ear I-IV I-VII Boys Girls Boys Girls 1993-94 71.71 66.01 49.62 44.64 2000-01 85.72 87.68 61.32 56.73

❖ Repetition rate has been considerably decreased. Standard-wise repetition rates are given for the year 200-01.

Eventhough considerable achievement is made, still goal is not reached. Efforts are necessary to achieve this goal.

4. EFFECTIVITY: This aims at raising achievement levels among prurary students at least by 25% over measured baseline levels.

Mid-term Assessment Study has been conducted in the 7 expansion districts and writing the report is in progress. Based on the data available, a provisional results arc provided. There is improvement trend in many of the districts and SI) has come

198 down; thus showing the children groups are tend to move towards homogeneous groups from that of heterogeneous ones.

In respect of DPEP-1 phase, the terminal achievement study is slated for this year, as the programme period is getting over. In all the districts, eventhough learning achievement levels reached are not that of mastery level, sufficient improvement has been achieved. Perhaps, this is a bumpy road, traversing half a distance is an achievement. Yet much to be done in this regard......

• Emerging trends and progress made in terms of monitoring and tackling attendance, retention, learning levels and completion of the full primary cycle

199 Monitoring attendance:

> 'MINCHINA SANCHARA' - surprise visits undertaken by the district and block functionaries have improved sufficiently the teachers' and students’ attendance, avoiding fake attendance of children in the name of 'Compulsory Primary Education' (CPE). This is an ongoing exercise. Sufficient number of children of age group 6-11 whose names were on rolls in spite of not attending the school for some years on the pretext of CPE were removed from rolls and surplus teachers have been redeployed to the needy schools.

> Many teachcrs do face problems in rural areas and try to take a change to the urban / block head quarters, due to need for a better and higher education for their children.

> The movement of teachers has been curtailed, by introducing the taluk level recruitment from this year.

Monitoring retention:

The following interventions have been by the DPEP to monitor retention of children by providing attractive school environment through community participation through the following progrmmcs.

> SCHOOL ADOPTION PROGRAMME (SAP)': The state has launched SAP in convergence with the institutions / trusts / non-government organisations / philanthropists aiming at the all-round development of the institutions. These organisations can take either one school or more school or all the schools in a particular area / block / district. The department enters into a ToR with such an organisation.

'y 'SAMUDAYADATTA SHAALE': A novel programme launched by the department to rejuvenate the Village Education Committees (VECs). This programmes brings the community nearer to school and develops a sense of ownership among the community "our village - our school - our children" and strengthens the sense of belonging. The programme envisages conduct of VEC meeting and Gram Sabha once a month in which atleast one departmental officer shall participate. The officer observes all the activities of the school right from morning to evening. The officer stays in the village and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the schools with the community and teachers and provides a forum to come out with an action plan to improve the overall function of the school. A first hand information by issuing progress cards is provided to the parents on the educational levels of their wards and share the shortcomings and progress with them. Cultural activities in the evening provide an opportunity to the children to exhibit their talents.

> However, the bottleneck is that “the real ownership does not exist”

200 Monitoring learning levels:

> Providing Progress cards: Continuous and comprehensive evaluation is a must to keep a watch on the acquirement of necessary competencies; as the Teaching-Learning (T-L) processes are competency oriented and activity- cum-workbooks provided are based on the Minimum Levels of Learning (MLLs). This helps not only to assess the students’ attendance and attainment but also reflects the impact of Teaching-Learning processes. With this in view, Progress Cards were provided to students studying in classes I to V in DPEP districts with the following objectives.

* To identify the learning levels of children both cognitive and non-cognitive * To provide information to parents on the learning attainment and progress of their wards * To help competency-wise analysis and to grade the difficulty level based on the child’s performance * to provide remedial teaching * To enhance self esteem of children

A first hand information is provided to the parents on the educational levels of their wards and share the shortcomings and progress with them in the programme - 4Samudayadatta Shaale' . Is it only a ritual? How many parents take follow up action to improve the performance of their ward? - are the questions still to find an answer.

Supplementary Inputs to improve learning levels:

• 'KELI-KALI' - a radio programme launched during 2000-01, provided a support for the students' learning. This programme launched with the convergence of AIR and DEP-DPEP-IGNOU has provided 60 episodes with a focus on language, mathematics and environmental sciences for the 3rd standard students. However, the target group was the children and teachers of Raichur and Gulbarga districts. Huge efforts had gone in its planning, script development, facilitation and monitoring. A phone-in programme launched after the completion of the programme, has provided a considerable feed back. It also affirms that the programme has been received wholeheartedly by all the target group - children, teachers and the community.

Based on its success, a similar programme for the benefit of 4th standard students has been launched through AIR, Dharwad and Gulbarga to have a wider coverage. Beaming of the first set of episodes is over by the end of September 2001 and the second set goes on air from November 2001. A feed back is obtained by having a teleconference with the clientele. Due to the demand from the clientele, DPEP is beaming the 60 episodes for the benefit of 3rd students from AIR, Dharwad and Gulbarga from November, 2001. Totally ‘Keli-Kali’ will be on AIR on all the six days, except Sunday.

201 Completion Rates:

> 'COHORT ANALYSIS' - a maiden attempt was made during 2000-01 on cohort analysis of all the schools from 1st to 4th standards in all the DPEP districts. The districts have computerised the data and analysed. The average completion rate for the DPEP districts stood at 77.50.

• Emerging trends and strategies with respect to special groups:

> Girls’ Education: To improve the participation of girls in education, they are provided with free education up to +2 stage. > Tribal Education: Soliga tribes, like any other primitive tribe, have a dialect of their own and collection of forest produces as their main occupation. Though Ashram schools arc established by Tribal Welfare Dept, the education imparted in these schools arc not different from mainstream schools. With a view to bring education more closer to their distinct way of life, it was decided to produce text books in Soliga language. Soliga Siddi-1, a text book for standard-1 was prepared through a series of workshops. The book is written with an integrated approach. The book was introduced in the year 1999-2000 and the text book produced for standard-2 was tried out during 2000-01. The mix of Soliga dialect with the regional language is 75:25 in 1st standard and 50:50 in second standard. Gradually, the regional language component gets increased, so that, a child entering standard IV will be receiving education through Regional Language. Along with the workshops meant lor preparation of text book for Standard-1, a hand book on Soliga Culture and an audio cassette containing the tribal folk songs was also produced. Thus a holistic approach has been adopted for the education of soligas. V Migrant Children: To provide education without a break, all the children belonging to migrant families have been provided with '•identity cards’, which facilitate children to continue schooling at the placcs, where they go. > Disabled children: With the enactment of ‘Persons with Disability Act’ every child, irrespective of the nature and severity of disability, has a right to receive appropriate form of education. Considering the number of children with special needs and their distribution over large geographical area, Inclusive Education has become a necessity and a compulsion. Though there arc institutions of Special Education, they are far and few in number and inaccessible to majority of rural children. It is estimated that about 6% of children in the school age group constitute children with special needs for whom Inclusive Education is to be provided. As per data available in Education Management Information System (EMIS), there are only 29,000 children with special needs already studying in our schools. This means that about 1 lakh children with special needs continue to be unattended by the school system.

DPEP Karnataka formulated a pilot project for implementation of Inclusive Education and the same was tried out in Magadi block of Bangalore rural district. The salient features of the project include positioning of two trained Resource Tcachers in each cluster with support materials. A very intensive 2- month training in three phases. Inputs during the training include, facility for functional assessment, parent counseling, community awareness programmes,

202 through songs and street plays, training for arranging medical assessment, sensitization of general teachers and preparation of special teaching aids. These trained Resource Teachers visited every school and were able to identify 759 special children during the first year itself and a medical camp was organised.

Based on the Magadi experience, the programme is extended to all DPEP districts and proposed to train 400 resource teachers through Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) recognised institutions. With this there shall be one trained resource teacher for every three clusters.

A vision document is being developed with ultimate vision of ‘having every disabled child in the school and to receive appropriate form of education - formal, community and resource room based, etc’.

• Progress in improving school as well as household based information systems and use of information:

> School Information (EMIS): EMIS which has been stabilized in the State, is providing information on several indicators which is analysed and shared with the state, district and block functionaries. This is used not only in judicious redeployment of teachers, but also in improving PTR, institutional infrastructure. The data is also being used to generate GER, NER, Retention Rates and in developing AWP & B of the districts. However, the bottleneck is that, the information is not getting disseminated beyond the block. > Household Information: With an objective to identify 6-14 age group child population by gender, social group, and to identify in school and out of school children, a household survey was conducted during January 2001. The major findings of this survey were:

* Child population of age group 6-14 was 104.23 lakhs * 10.53 lakh children of age group 6-14, amounting to 11.72% were out of schools * More than 60% of out of school children were found in 7 North-Eastern districts of Karnataka * Inter-district variations exist - The percentage of out of school children vary from 1.14% (in Udupi district) to 26.73% (in Raichur district)

With this information on hand, efforts have been made to provide access to all these out of school children in a phased manner through - Chinnara Angala programme (which is discussed in previous paragraphs)

As the 60% of out of school children were found in 7 North-Eastern districts of Karnataka - Bellary, Bidar, Bijapur, Bagalkot, Gulbarga, Raichur and Koppal. To have a close monitoring and implementation of different strategies in achieving the goals of Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE) a separate Directorate has been established at Gulbarga.

203 2. Improvements in the quality of primary schooling:

• Teacher Recruitment: Karnataka is the front runner in bringing reforms in teachcr recruitment. The State has brought in transparency in recruiting and posting and also in transfers by counseling. As recruitment is done only on the basis of the marks obtained in the qualifying examinations, the candidates may not be having any aptitude for teaching. The computerized counseling introduced for efficiency and transparency in postings and transfers, always keeps the vacancies existing in remote places vacant. To avoid, a Common Entrance Test has been introduced for recruitment and the recruitment is at the block level. • Teacher Deployment: Deployment of teachcrs is done judiciously with a view to improve ‘Active Instruction Time’ (AIT) in the schools. However, ‘Pupil Teacher Ratio’ (PTR) and ‘Standard Teacher Ratio’ (STR) are also in kept in mind while deployment. For this purpose EMIS is made use of. Accordingly, during 2000-01, 4867 primary school teachers were identified as superfluous and redeployed to the needy schools within the districts. Even after doing this exercise, there were identified 2663 primary school teachcr posts as superfluous and were shifted to the districts of North-East Karnataka region for bring equality among the districts. • Teachers’ Attendance: Karnataka is the pioneer in bringing several reforms in education system. One of them being - formation of ‘School Development & Monitoring Committees’ (SDMCs). These committees have been vested with more powers and responsibilities. They arc authorised to sanction casual leave to the institutional heads and recommend other kinds of leave for the teachers in their schools. This helps in monitoring teachers’ attendance in the schools. • Improving PTR: PTR does vary across the districts - it is quite according to norms in the districts of southern part of Karnataka, but vary significantly in the Northern districts of the State. To bring PTR at par with that of existing in the southern part of the state, 5797 teachcrs arc being recruited to the 7 seven districts of North-East Karnataka, in addition to shifting of 2663 primary school teacher posts from the districts where superfluous posts were identified. The recruitment process is on. • Improving ‘Active Instruction Time’ (AIT): In addition to providing necessary number of teachers to school to enhance the AIT, Government of Karnataka has taken a decision not to deploy teachers for any other work, except for election and general census. Besides, the mid term holidays have been reduced to 10 days and that of summer vacation to 40 days to improve teaching-learning time in the schools. • Plans lor and progress in teacher development with particular reference to:

-V efforts to follow-up in in-service training and teacher support activities:

* 'SHIKSHANA SAMVADA' - a bimonthly teachers' magazine provides an ongoing communication net work; through which many issues arc shared with the teachers without communication losses, through editorial, articles, stories, anecdotes. Besides, the

204 magazine contains present issues on education, teaching, learning, evaluation techniques, experience of retired teachers, book reviews, a page for children to 'learn by doing'. This not only motivates teachers but also influences their attendance and professional competencies.

* 'CHAITHANYA' - a new training package developed by the department, incorporating the approach and ethos of DPEP; provides a complementary thrust on the content. * 'TEACHER INTERACTIVE SESSIONS' - provided a forum to exchange their experiences and seek suggestions for the hard spots, which they have identified during practice. Sessions have been also provided to improve their self-reading habits.

Develop a long term vision and strategies for teacher development:

* ‘JNANA VAHINI’ - A programme to improve the academic and professional competence of teachers through distance education mode is on cards. This provides on line training to in-service teachers through a ‘Cafeteria Approach’ using print, audio and video media.

Improve the functioning of the support structures:

* District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) are existing in all the districts. In terms of staff and infrastructure the DIETs are reasonably equipped. As DIETs alone cannot meet the continuous demand of providing academic support to teachers at the grass root level in the district, sub-district structures - Block Resource Centres (BRCs) and Cluster Resource Centres (CRCs) have been established which provide support continuously to the teachers for their academic and professional competence with the technical resource support from the DIET. This lead to academic development of the school and improved achievement levels among children of all categories. There are close links between the various levels of the structure. Directorate of State Educational Research & Training (DSERT) provides leadership, as it is the apex institution at the state level. * Convergence: To augment a better co-ordination between main stream and DPEP sub-district structures, Block Educational Officer (BEO) has been designated as the ex-officio Block Project Co­ ordinator and is responsible to plan and implement DPEP interventions in the block and coordinate the activities of BRC and CRCs. 3. Programme management and implementation:

• Programme supervision:

* Evcnthough several structures - like SDMC, B1C, DIC from school to the district level are existing, ‘supevision’ is felt as the weakest link. To strengthen this link, the following activities were taken.

> Job Chart was provided to DPO, BRC and CRC for effective supervision.

> Indicators are developed to enhance effective supervision of classroom T-L processes; which are being used by the supervisory staff when they visit schools.

• Funds Flow: Karnataka is the only state which has utilised funds to the optimum extent, by minimizing advances and maximising utilisation at the various levels.

Particulars DPEP-I DPEP-II (in Rs. lakhs) (in Rs. lakhs) Total allocation (DPEP-1: 1994-2002) 21480.180 (DPEP-2: 1996-2003) 24077.320 Total expenditure up to 30.09.2001 16796.100 20812.100 Funds released from Gol and GoK (cumulative) 17845.1 15 23476.934 (as on 30.09.2001)

• Funds Requirement for Phase-2: The total project outlay for DPEP-2 under IDA credit No. 2876-IN, was Rs. 24077.32 lakhs; and out of which the expenditure as on 31.3.2001 was Rs. 18511.14 lakhs; keeping a balance of Rs. 5566.18 lakhs, with programme to go for two more years till 30lh June, 2003. The Annual Work Plan & Budget (AWP & B) for 2001-02 came to Rs. 7340.32 lakhs. However, keeping in view the balance available for the Phase-2, the Project Board has approved the AWP & B for Rs. 5458.25 lakhs only. It is estimated that outlay for the remaining period (from April 2001 to June 2003) of the programme will be Rs. 8894.83 lakhs. As the Gol has sanctioned Rs. 5458.25 Iaksh for this year, there is a need for additional funds of Rs. 3436.58 lakhs to run the programme for which proposals have been submitted to the Gol lor sanction.

Status of DPEP in anticipation of the Phase-1 nearing its completion:

• Assessment and studies: The following studies which have been commissioned by the Eli Bureau / other organisations are under way.

'y Terminal Assessment Survey > Classroom culture and processes fro ms gender perspective > Evaluation o f ‘Nali-Kali’ approach in Mysore district > Evaluation of DPEP interventions in the state

206 > Pedagogical Interventions > Prc-project Activities for vertical expansion of DPEP interventions

• Utilisation Plans for excess funds:

> The total EFC approved project cost with 3% contingencies is Rs. 134.98 crorcs for the Phase-1 with cumulative expenditure upto March 2000 was Rs. 132.42 crores, leaving a meager balance of Rs. 2.562 crores. The doors of the DPEP Bureau was knocked several times to release additional funds, consequently, the Bureau released Rs. 35.24 crores being the amount available due to exchange fluctuation; with instructions to wait for the EFC approval. When the programme is to be closed by the end of March, 2002; EFC approved Rs. 79.82 crores in its meeting on 17.08.2001 for the remaining part of the period from April 2000. Keeping the budgeted amount for the AWP & B for 2000-01 and 2001-02; the Stale has planned to utilise the savings, accordingly, plans have been prepared for Rs. 39.35 crores.

• Implementation status in phase-1 districts:

> In DPEP Phase-1 districts, the civil works are almost complete. The residual works arc minimum and will be completed during this year. The process of taking over of buildings has been speeded up. Due to fluctuation of foreign exchange, DPEP Phase-1 got an additional funds of Rs 46.77 crorcs; and out of which Rs. 36.00 crores have been sanctioned to continue the funding of the programme for the year 2000-01 and upto September, 2001. The remaining Rs. 10.77 crores have been earmarked for taking up of civil works in the DPEP phase-1 districts. Plans to utilise these funds have been submitted to Government of India for approval.

• Sustainability plans:

r Sustainability plans have been drawn and submitted to the Govt, of Karnataka for continuation of several district and sub-district posts beyond the project period and also to sustain the programmes in DPEP phase-1 districts. In terms of financial requirement, it amounts to Rs. 2450.24 lakhs, which can be absorbed by the State under plan expenditure. Il is expected to receive the approval by the end of December, 2001. However sustaining the tempo, motivation and commitment needs special focus. As the DPEP interventions in phase-1 is getting extended from time to time, it is not very clear when the State has to take over the responsibility of sustaining the interventions; and also il is not clear what may be the interventions which will be governed under SSA.

207 KERALA

Introduction

The 1st phase of DPEP was started in the state during 1994-95 in the districts of Kasaragod, Wayanad and Malappuram. The 2nd Phase was launched in the districts of Palakkad, Idukki, and Thiruvananthapuram during 1996-97. The new curriculum was implemented simultaneously in all the six project districts during 1997-98. The thrust area of DPEP activities in Kerala was to increase the achievement level of children in primary classes.

Objective: 1 Progress towards achievement of programme objectives and outcome indicators

Kerala is a state with near total enrolment. This has been achieved through ensuring access by starting enough schools within 1 Km. of the place of residence of each child. These together with cultural and social factors have contributed in enrolment as well as in retention of almost all children in primary classes. However, there are some pockets where there are no formal schools. DPEP has started Alternate Schools in these pockets using the multi-grade strategy of learning. The details are given below:

Student learning level has shown marked improvement with respect to the Baseline Assessment Survey. It may be noted that in DPEP I districts BAS was conducted in 1994­ 95 and the MAS was conductcd in 1997-98. It was in 1997-98 that new primary school curriculum was implemented in these districts. Since the MAS was undertaken only after three or four months after the implementation of new curriculum some of the scores in MAS have shown a decreasing trend. But when MAS was conducted in DPEP II districts during 2000 -2001 the achievement levels have shown significant increase in all subjects.

In order to meet the learning needs of children with disabilities, DPEP Kerala has developed class specific teachers' handbook called 'Patana Pravarthana Sahayi' (Hand book for Learning Activities.) These books help the teacher to support children with learning / physical disabilities. Also a handbook for teachers w'ith regard to the theoretical basis of the new pedagogy was developed and distributed to schools apart from including the content of this in the training module of this academic year.

In order to improve the quality and effectiveness of the planning and monitoring process, an information system is necessary that offers integration of various levels of activities.

This year onwards, a complete primary school database is being collected as part of the national database. In this, a village education schedule was incorporated to collect the basic data about each village. The main difficulty in setting up of a reliable information system is the lack of manpower in the districts. This has caused a variety of problems during collection, usage and dissemination of the data.

Improvement in the quality of primary schooling

As a part of identifying and monitoring quality at state level the school systems, classrooms, teachers, teaching learning materials, classroom processes, community participation etc. were visioned so as to see that various skills are developed among children. Using these as indicators DPEP Kerala has developed a format for the observation of classroom processes. Also, bodies like Panchayat Monitoring Committee, Block Monitoring Committee etc. were entrusted with the monitoring of classroom processes and school activities. The academic findings of these observations are regularly monitored at the BRC level every week and at DIET level every fortnight, apart from the monthly monitoring exercise undertaken at state level. Besides this regular visits are undertaken to districts by State Monitoring Team to collect field level issues / problems faced by teachers, trainers and other educational administrators. These are also thoroughly discussed at the review meetings held both at district and state levels. The President of the PEDSK monitors the activities of the project districts once in three months.

The new primary school curriculum was implemented in DPEP districts during 1997-98 with an initial 5 day training to all the 30,000 teachers during April-May 1997. The uniqueness of the teacher community of Kerala is that they are all trained teachers with two years of pre-service teacher training or language teacher training. But, since the new pedagogy was a paradigm shift from the old one, thorough retraining had to be undertaken. Hence apart from initial training (5 days) regular cluster level trainings for the teachers were also held every month. This has been a regular practice till date. During this academic year, teachers have been given initial six days training and cluster level training are being given regularly. It is estimated that by now, all the primary school teachers of project districts have obtained at least 90 days of teacher training. The unique feature of teacher training in DPEP, Kerala is that before undertaking each year's training process an indepth study is conducted by the State Resource Group to identify various issues / problems still prevailing in classroom. The study is called Internal Academic Support Mission. Already five such Missions have been in operation.

The content of the training has been, various innovative strategies for classroom transactions, strategies for addressing multi level situations, strategies for avoiding gender biased attitudes of teachers and parents, techniques for meeting the learning needs of children with various learning deficiencies etc.

210 In order to equip instructors and various support structures like CRCs, BRCs, DIETs and SCERT a number of initiatives have been undertaken by DPEP. All the faculty members of SRG have been drawn from SCERT, DIETs, BRCs and actual working teachers. DRGs also have the same constitution as that of SRG. Hence, all the various empowerment activities have strengthened the capabilities of the above institutions. One faculty member of DIETs are designated as Co-ordinator (Academic) in all BRCs of the project districts. During the current year as a part of further empowering the academic capabilities, we have trained all the faculties of DIETs and BRCs with regard to the theoretical basis of the new pedagogy. Various community groups, NGOs and faculty members of universities have been chartered to undertake various research programmes with regard to the issues faced by the project and also to consolidate the gains of the project activities.

Objective: 3 Programme Management and Implementation

Supervision of the programme at all levels was done and managed by a system of collecting feedback from various sources. The monitoring is being done by State/ District offices by constant interaction with various functionaries and by ensuring free llow of information.

On 20-02-2001 Rs.5 crores was received as GOI share for DPEP - I. Again on 20-06-2001 Rs 5 crores was received as GOI share. The cumulative GOI share of DPEP - I as on 30-9­ 2001 was Rs.7392.39 lakhs (excluding Rs 50 lakhs allotted for Pre-project activities). The cumulative state share for the same period is Rs.968.1 1 lakhs for DPEP - I districts.

Regarding DPEP - II Rs. 8 crores was received on 02-05-2001, and Rs. 7 crores on 02-06­ 2001 as Government of India share. The total cumulative release by Government of India was Rs. 6793.81 lakhs. The cumulative State share for the same period (as on 30-09-2001) is Rs. 475.3 1 lakhs for DPEP - II districts.

flic balance available from 01-08-2001 to 30-06-2003 under DPEP II is given below.

This amount will be utilised for the regular DPEP activities under various interventions.

Objective : 4 Status of programme in DPEP districts - in item of development outcomes, sustainability final evaluation etc.

2001-2002 is the last year of the project in DPEP-I districts of the state. The thrust of project activities in Kerala has been on increasing the achievement level among children in various subjects. This has been achieved on a considerable level as can be seen from the data available from MAS of DPEP-II districts conducted in 2000-2001. The Terminal Assessment Survey in DPEP-I districts is underway and data collection is over. With regard to other activities of DPEP viz. access, enrollment and retention, Kerala already had a enviable position in all these fields although there were some pockets in tribal and coastal areas where access was really an issue to be taken up. Hence DPEP has started 294 single teacher Alternate Schools in the six project districts. In DPEP-I districts only 3177 never enrolled children were enrolled in 133 Alternate Schools (Kasaragod-39 centres and 1089 students, Wayanad-65 centres and 1321 students and Malappuram - 29 centres and 767 students.)

As a part of final evaluation of DPEP activities in DPEP-I districts Terminal Assessment Survey is going on. Also Government of India are preparing for an external evaluation of the pedagogic interventions.

The State Government have accepted in principle the SSA Programme which will commit Government of Kerala to share a part of its expenditure as per its guidelines.

In DPIiP-I districts excess funds are available from the changed Rupee Dollar exchange rale and the interest accrued from Banks. Tins will come about Rs.32X0.(JO lakhs. Out of this Rs.396.92 lakhs will be made available to Malappuram district to meet the expenditure as per AWPB of 2001-2002. A detailed plan had been submitted to MHRD for approval for spending it in eight non DPEP districts of the state. Expenditure Finance Committee has approved this proposal.

Progress towards achievement of programme objectives and outcome indicators :

• Emerging trends and strategies in terms of reaching the out-of-school children.

In 9 DPEP districts in the State there are 1,68,269 out-of-school children, out of which 37,416 students are covered under Vasti Shala and 45,321 under Mahatma Phule Shikshan Hami Yojana.

• Emerging trends and progress made in terms of monitoring and tackling attendance, retention, learning levels and completion of the full primary cycle. The data regarding attendance and achievement levels was collected in EMIS’2000. This was shared on a sample basis with districts. A detailed analysis is in progress. A Cohort Study of children enrolled in Class-I in the year 1996 has been undertaken to find out completion rate by the State. Analysis will be shared with Joint Review Mission (JRM). On the basis of the findings of this study ‘Special Watch’ schools will be identified.

• Emerging trends and strategies with respect to special groups (girls, tribal, scheduled caste, migrants, working children and disabled) - access, enrolment, retention, learning levels and completion.

Improvement in the duality of Primary Schooling :

• Strategies & Progress in tackling teacher recruitment, deployment and attendance :

At present 4325 schools (23.74%) Schools have PTR more than fifty (see table 2). This is due to large number of vacancy of Primary Teachers in DPEP districts. These vacant posts are now being filled by ‘Shikshan Sevaks’. Shikshan Sevaks are teachers on contractual appointment for three years against a clear vacancy on a fixed honorarium. After successful completion of this period, Shikshan Sevaks will be absorbed in regular primary teachers’ scale against a clear vacancy. The recruitment of Shikshan Sevak is in process in all the districts. No. of schools with high PTR would reduce and teachers deployment would improve once these recruitments are over.

• Efforts to improve the functioning of the support structures and institutes. namelyCRCs/BRCs, DIETs andSCERTs. Efforts to improve Time on Teaching Task :

Due to large no. of vacancies of primary teachers, many schools have multigradc situations. In order to equip these teachers to handle multigrade classes having children at different learning levels, a major programme on LUse of Self Learning Methods at Primary Level’ has been launched. The first introductory teleconference on this issue was held between 15th to 17th March, 2001. Training of all teachers on use of Self-learning Methods for Languages, Mathematics, EVS and project method has been planned. Teachers support material is ready and is at different stages of completion as given below

Objective 1.

> Out of School children

The extent and distribution both in absolute number and percentage of out of school children (district-wise and category-wise) can be seen from Table 1 (a), (b), (c) and Figures 1 to 3

The following strategies have been adopted to bring the out of school children into folds of schooling:

□ Tracking each out of school child by name through a special drive ‘ANUSANDHAN’ □ Opening of AS Centre and EGS / AIE Centres to provide access and for mainstreaming. □ Through Community mobilization programme ‘ NINAD’ the identified children (list provided to the respective mobilising team) were enrolled in the schools. □ Community mobiliser / educated Tribal Youth Volunteers have been engaged in difficult areas to bring such children to schools. □ MTA and VEC have been sensitiged to enroll and monitor regular attendance. a In convergence with Department, of SC and ST development, 400 40- seated residential girls hostels have been opened in tribal areas (KBK) to provide primary schooling facilities for tribal girl children.

Enrolment in Schools :

District-wise figures for (i) Total enrolment (management and category-wise)in table 2 (a), (ii) Classwisc enroment figures (management-wise) for SC children in Table 2 (a) and for ST children in 2 (c) have been provided. Besides the district-wise figure for enrolment in class I and total enrolment has also been presented in Table 2 (d)

All the tables demonstrate gender-wise differentiated figures.

Enrolment in A.S. Centres / Bridge Courses.

District-wise figures for the number of AS Centres opened and enrolment in these schools (gender-wise) is presented in Table -3

The enrolment figures of adolescent girls in 28 special camps (residential) is provided m Tables 3 (a)

225 Retention, Completion and Repetition Rates

District-wise and gender-wise figures on completion, dropout and repetition rates along with the percentages of out of school children are presented in Table 4 (a) this was the result of a COHORT Table 4(a)

In addition to the above mentioned rates, the enrolment figures for disabled children (type wise) in different districts are given in Table 4(b)

Data based School Development Plan :

Two broad sets of data relating to primary education of every habitation / school have been collected and consolidated by DPEP Orissa. These are (i) House hold-data collected during NINAD and (ii) Data on School through DISE format.

Form these the following indicators for each school / habitation have been developed:

i. Enrolment vis-a-vis child population. ii. Out of school children by name. iii. Drop-out, repetition and completion rates. i iv. Status of Activity-based practices in the classroom. v. School environment in terms of wall paintings (activities) and child- friendly elements. vi. Participation of community in terms of a. Functioning of VEC b. Involvement of MTA and PTA (frequency of meeting) vii. Frequency of monitoring and on site support.

Based on these indicators, short-term school development plans for each school in being prepared by the teachers, CRC Coordinators in consultation with VEC. These plans are then incorporated in the blocks and districts level annual plans.

The major difficulty faced by the district MIS units i.e. cross-checking the collected data to increase their reliability has been met to a large extent through an intensive on­ site data verification ‘ANUSANDHAN’. This also helped in additional effort in terms of Cohort Analysis of data over last four years generating reliable indicators of retention, drop out and completion.

This large data base and the stakeholders awareness and confidence in actually using it for planning and monitoring shall increase their cooperation and commitment in future data collection and data use.

Improvement in Students Learning Levels:

The district wise comparative figures between the base line and Mid Term Assessment of learning achievement in the areas of language and mathematics of class I and IV children, (sample study) are presented in table 5 (a) to 5 (b).

From these tables it may be seen that the learning achievement both in language and in mathematics in initial year have shown desirable trend of progress in Bolangir.

226 Dhenkanal, Kalahandi, Bargarh show steady rise. Significantly girls demonstrate higher trend of achievement in Bolangir, Bargarh, Sambalpur (Math) and Dhenkanal (Language). Negligible or no perceptible change could be observed in Gajapati (Maths. & Language), Rayagada (Mathematics) and Sambalpur (Maths.).

Dhenkanal, Bargarh, Keonjhar and Sambalpur have shown high growth in mean achievement in class IV in language and mathematics. No significant progress could be observable in Rayagada, Bolangir and Gajapati districts.

Action Points to Improve Learning Achievements:

Several efforts have already been taken and several more are mooted to give a boost to learners achievement level so as to reach the target of 25% rise above the base line level at the end of the project period.

• Additional inputs for effective classroom transactions through teachers training. • Continuous evaluation of learner’s achievement. • Development of child friendly textbooks and workbooks. • Supplementary materials for teachers and children • Continuous effort for sharing through CRC, newsletters and teleconferencing. Besides strengthening these efforts, it is now stipulated to involve community awareness of learner’s progress and their involvement in enriching classroom transaction. • School - differentiated inputs have to be planned (initiatives have already been made) ' • Teachers are being trained for identifying hard spots of learning and providing learner specific inputs through activity based classroom transaction.

Objective 2

Faculty members of DIETs have been oriented to develop need based, cluster level short term training programmes. For this purpose, DIET-BRC- CRC linkage in being strengthened.

12 Programmes in capsular form have been developed to aid the DIET faculty members in conducting short term training programmes for teachers.

All the faculty members of the DIETs and Secondary Training Schools (ETTIs) have been trained in new Pedagogy.

* Monitoring and follow-up of training in schools:-

All the CRR and BRC Coordinators and SI of schools have been exposed to the teachers inputs. They have also been given two rounds of training on monitoring and providing academic support to teachers.

The Headmaster and S.l of schools have been oriented on monitoring and management of school activities through a five days training programme.

A special programme on monitoring of class room activities, community involvement in schools activities and providing on site academic support entitled “AHWAN” has been launched in all districts and blocks.

Data based monitoring of schools (with data an enrolment, retention, completion, achievement, teachers absenteeism, VEC functioning etc) has been initiated from this year.

229 * Studies in Class room Processes

Block level studies and small sample studies have been conducted on the following areas.

Impact of training inputs in the classroom transaction. Effects of Socio- Economic status on learning. Problem o f Education of tribal children. Issues related to girls education Issues related to enrollment, retention and dropout phenomena.

*The findings have been shared with selected teachers, headmasters, CRC and BRC Coordinators

From some of these studies changed in classroom transaction and teachers performance are evidenced.

Midterm Assessment survey also demonstrate the overall process in learners achievement except in some specific areas For providing institutional support to teachers a plan in being developed at the State level establishing close linkage between all the State developments and institutions.

* Plans for Teacher development:-

CRC-BRC -DIET linkage is being strengthened with stress on developing DIETs as District level resource-cum- monitoring center.

To ameliorate the teacher service condition, district level grievance redressal forum has been initiated in which top officials of education department of the State are attending.

All possible modes that is face to face, print, teleconferencing etc are been tapped to empower the teachers on their areas of need .A plan of sustainable teachers development, synchronizing all possible modes and resources is being worked out.

* Improving the functioning of support structures of Institutes:-

BRCs and CRCs are being strengthened as a part of the project activities. Regular cluster level sharing meeting are now being stressed upon.

A development plan for SCERT and DIETs in the DPEP districts is being finalized. As a part of this funds have been provided (Rs 4.71akhs) to each DIET. Executive Committee of OPEPA has also approved further funding (Rs. 23.0 lakhs) to each DIET and SCERT.

A primary education cell with 7-10 resourceful teacher is being created at SCERT to talk up the Pedagogical activities carried out by the DPEP, deepening the understanding of different stakeholders of the State and upscale the activities in non DPEP districts.

230 Linkage between PTAs/VECs-schools-CRCs are now ensured so that community involvement in schools can be further strengthened.

Objective:3

Programme Management and Implementation

Programme Supervision:

The implementation of the DPEP at the State, District and sub-district levels in Orissa are being continuously monitored through different modes:

State Level:

> The Chief Minister, Education Minister who are also the President and Vice-President of the State Society, and the Chief Secretary take periodical reviews of progress made in DPEP. > The Executive Committee of OPEPA reviews the programme at the State by half yearly in its meeting. > The Chairman of OPEPA takes periodical review of different interventions. > The State level monthly review meeting is taken by the State Project Director with all District Project Coordinators and their reporting staff attending the meeting wherein the details of each interventions is specifically reviewed. > PMIS is functional at the State level. > All the reviews are strictly data-based.

District and Sub-district level:

> The State Project Director and/or State level officers during their visit to districts monitor the progress on specific areas. This review is now regularly held each month and are strictly data driven and based on specific field experience. y A monthly review meeting is held in each district with the District Collector in Chair and all district and sub-district level functionaries attend this meeting. The field level progress in activities arc monitored and targets for the next month decided. > PMIS is being made functional at the district level.

Strengthening Data-base:

As can be observed all the programme monitoring activities are basically data- based. The data regarding learners, teachers, schools, materials and management not only provide directions for monitoring, those also are utilized for planning further interventions. Hence, to enhance the reliability of data and to generate further indicators of internal efficiency of school system, a special drive ‘ANUSANDHAN’ has been launched in Orissa DPEP. This has greatly helped in undertaking all monitoring and planning exercises from the school/habitation to state levels. (A brief note an ANUSANDHAN is appended).

A nusandhan

Rationale:-

The need for the exercise ANUSANDHAN was felt during the annual data collection exercise through DISE (District Information System for Education), of While fi ling up the Data Collection Formats of DISE particularly distinctly classifying the repeaters and enrollment figures. This made collected data more error prone. To lave a detailed and accurate figure o f out of children and to generate different indicates of internal efficiency of school system through COHORT analysis, a strong reliable data base was strongly felt accordingly a special; drive entitled ANUSANDHAN was launched. ...

Objective:-

The main objectives of the exercise ANUSANDHAN can be classified into two broad categories namely:

1. To conduct COHORT study to find out:-

(i). The indicators of internal efficiency of each school in terms of • The actual repetition rate in schools. • The actual dropout position. • School wise completion ratio. • Class wise completion ratio

(ii). Classification of schools according to their efficiency, repetition, dropout with respect to social class, sex, geographical condition etc.

2. Identifying each out of school child by name village/habitation wise and creating a database. The exercise, called CHILD TRACKING had the following objectives

• To trace duplicate enrollment. • To trace fake enrollment.

Procedure:-

The district level MIS units were oriented by Jt. Director DPEP, Tamilnadu, Mr Talkudar EdCIL and Prof. Yash Agrawal of NIEPA. Further the State o f Orissa adopted an innovative strategy i.e. to involve outsiders like the NGO personnel & Educated Youth Volunteers (EVY) for-field work.. These educated youth volunteers were selected from a pool of Post Graduate Students of Utka! University. They formed the core group or the State Resource Group (SRG). The State Resource Grcup was trained at the SPO regarding procedures involved in CO H O RT as well as CHILD TRACKING.

232 In the districts the two educated youth volunteers were selected to conduct the exercise, covering each CRC. The EYVs were led by the Center School HM/ CRCC. Thus the three member team was asked to cover all the schools in the CRC. These CRC level team was trained on the exercise ANUSANDHAN by the Core Group or SRG. The ANUSANDHAN team was also supplied with the school codes, child data (0-14 yrs.).

Apart from training the teams to collect the data, a district level training was organized involving the D.I.of Schools, S.I.of schools, BRCCs, DIET faculty etc. on the techniques of monitoring and supervising the exercise. The monitoring officials were provided with mobility by the District Project Offices. The monitoring teams supervised the exercise as per the detailed route chart supplied to them in advance.

F in d in gs:-

The major findings of the exercise are listed below:

• Surprisingly low to moderate drop out rates all over the districts than previously thought. • Astonishingly high repetition rates in all the districts despite no-detention policy of the State Government. • Duplicate Enrolment of the children in nearby schools. • Existence of duplicate enrolment in almost all schools where a near by NCLP school exists. • Detection of fake students who are not existent physically through the child data (0-14 yrs.) and confirming the same at the VEC meetings. • Re-entering of names of the students in the admission register who have attained 14 years or more as a 5 year child.

Sharing:-

The finding of the exercise was shared with the D.I. o f schools, S.I. o f schools, BRCCs. CRCCs. DPO, SPO, SCERT and educational administrators as well as with community in form of discussions about the finding in Gender/Tribal perspective in the pal 1 isabha, Gramasabha involving the Sarpanch & others elected PRIs. This sharing of information has changed the attitude of the community towards the Schools. The remarkable success of mass mobilization campaign N1NAD-1I can be attributed to the sharing of data with the stakeholders (communities).

Based of the ANUSANDHAN data the VECs and the Schools H.Ms of poor performing schools were contacted by the State Project Director and District Collectors of the respect District directly through letters persuading them to take appropriate steps to bring out of school and dropped out children back to school and to improve school conditions (sample letters & Anusandhan analysis Report enclosed)

Planning:-

A multi pronged approach is being adopted to rectify the ills plaguing the system. At the administrative level steps have been initiated to fill up the “age as on June P1 column in the attendance register, so that at the first glance prolong absentee and over age children can be identified. Remedial coaching and training to teachers on remedial coaching and tutorial like classes are being suggested to over come the repetition problems.

Strategies: (i) Opening of ALS (ii) Conducting Localised Campaigns 1. As on 1.10.2001, 18983 children have been enrolled in 930 ALS Centres. Attempts arc made to give education to entire out of the school children. 2. In the Habitations where the number of out of school children is less than 20 opening of ALS is not viable. So Localised Campaigns are used as a strategy to enroll them in formal schools. 3. Summer Camps, bridge courses and EGS centres will be started on an experimental basis. 4. To reduce dropout the classroom transactions is being made attractive and learning made joyful in formal schools.

(A) Improvement in students’ learning levels

Ensuring quality education is one of the DPEP gospels. To enhancc the quality the DPEP Tamil Nadu has spared no efforts and initiatives. It has conducted achievement tests for V standard children in the content area of V standard to assess the implications of the various inputs given. The following table provides us the levels of achievement average of five subjects to the maximum score of hundred.

- In every class/subject combination, in every district the achievement level has risen from BAS to TAS by more than 25%.

- The range of increase is from 3 1.29% in Language in class IV in Villupuram to 62.49% in Mathematics in class I in Thiruvannamalai. (C) Identification of hardspots

After the conduct of achievement test for the V std. students, the valued answer scripts are analysed in the BRC, for all the five subjects. The questions which are not answered by a high percentage of students are identified and those parts are considered hardspots. In-service training to all the teachers handling V Std. is provided to deal with the hardspots.

During the school visits, AEEOs and BRC personnel come across with hardspots while they observe the classes of the teachers. In the training programme conducted at the BRC these hardspots are discussed and solutions arrived for the teachers to handle the topics. The participants also get an opportunity to get assistance from the trainers to deal with the hardspots they face in their regular classes.

In the CRC meetings, teachers exchange their views to identify and reveal the hardspots to the block level officials who attend the meeting. If they are not clarified there they are included in the training programme.

On site support plays an important role in identifying and dealing with hardspots.

(D) Improvement in classroom environment

In most of the schools low wall black boards have been provided in the classrooms which are used by children to use them for self learning.

TLM pandals have also been arranged in most of the classes where the TLMs have been displayed to be used in the classroom processes.

Children attend the classes in clean and neat uniform with ties which develop some self-confidence in them.

In many of the classes children are engaged in group activities with TLMs which lead to joyful learning experience.

Many teachers adopt activity based teaching methods where the dry lecture method is dispensed with.

A few schools have subjectwise learning comers, which are accessed by children with full freedom.

Walls of the classrooms in most of the schools have been decorated with useful pictures and diagrams and written with matters useful for learning.

277 (E) Achievement levels in Alternative Schools

Achievement Tests are conducted every year to know the learning levels of the students. The following table gives the scores of learners in Alternative Schools in block of Thiruvannamalai district. The test was conducted in the month of May

2001.

No one has joined in regular formal schools in this block.

Similar tests are conducted in all the districts.

1. 6. Information on recent improvements made and plans for further development of school as well as household based information systems and use of information. Action taken to support district/sub-districts which have faced difficulties in setting up a reliable information system.

(A) Household Data

In January, February 2001, household survey was conductcd in all the DPUP districts. The data are being computerised. This data give the following details habitationwise.

1. School-age children (5+ - 9+ , 10+ - 12+) 2. No. of children enrolled 3. No. of children non-enrollcd 4. No. of children dropped out 5. Reasons for non-enrolment/dropout

This information can be consolidated at the panchayat level, cluster level, blocklevel and district level. This data also give the no. o f children to be enrolled in Std. I, in the next three years. This information can be updated every year.

(B) School Based Information:

1. DISH: The DISE format developed by NIEPA is used to get school based information every year. During 2001-2002, the revised DISE to get information for primary and upper primary classes will be used.

2. Cohort Study: The cohort study form developed with the technical support from NIEPA is being used every year by DPEP, Tamil Nadu to calculate the Completion rate, Dropout Rate and RepetitionRate. The data for 1994­ 95, 1995-96 & 1996 97 cohorts have been obtained and used.

27.X 3. Achievement Tests in V Std.: During 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 achievement tests were conducted for all the students of V Std. by constituting two centres in every CRC. Child specific achievement scores for Tamil, English, Maths, Science and Social Science are available.

These data are used for microplanning at habitation and school levels. Districts and blocks do not face difficulty in collecting, analysing and utilising the data.

279 Objective 2: Improvement in the Quality of Primary Schooling

2.1. Type of indicators developed for use, if any, at state and district levels to monitor quality.

In DPEP, planning has been decentralised. Aggregated data for a district or for a block can provide no adequate information for school or habitation based interventions.

Habitation is used as unit for improving access and enrolment.

School is used as a unit for planning interventions to improve completion and achievement.

The achievement scores obtained by students in V Std. in the achievement tests conducted by DPEP in April 2000 and 2001 are used as indicators to monitor quality. The achievement scores are available for every student in Tamil, English, Maths, Science and Social Science. This information is used to identity low performing districts, low performing blocks and low performing schools. The achievement scores also are taken as indicators of the quality of the teaching learning process.

(A) Reviews and visits by State Project Directorate Personnel

Periodical monthly review is being conducted by the State Project Director. During the review, the implementation of the trainings and follow up undertaken by the districts personnel is reviewed. One official from the State Project Directorate is in charge of each DPEP district. Normally each official is visiting the districts for 7 to 10 days every month and monitors the functioning of BRCs, CRCs and schools. During school visits, they observe the classes, usage of TLMs, activities given to children and how the teacher evaluates the children. Small test is conducted and all the observation is recorded in the Inspection book. The next official during this visit will see whether the defects pointed out are rectified.

(B) Visits by District Official

In Districts, the Officials - District Programme Co-ordinator, Assistant District Programme Co-ordinator, Media and Documentation Officer, Women Development Officer and Consultants visit schools and trainings. Since there is no separate official to look after training and follow up activities in schools WDO is given charge to look after the training and follow up activities in school. They also record their observation in the Inspection Book.

(C) Visit by Block Level Officials

In a block, there are 6 Officials (Assistant Elementary Educational Officer, Additional Assistant Elementary Educational Officer, BRC Supervisor and 3 Teacher Educators). The block level Officials during their visit test the reading, writing ability and give small tests and assess performance. It is recorded in the visit book. During the next visit, officials see whether the defects pointed out are rectified and whether there is any improvement. The officials from the BRC give demonstration classes to teachers by using the TLM available in the schools and give onsite support to teachers. Apart from regular visits carried out by block officials each official has adopted 5 low performing schools and try to improve the teaching learning process by having frequent visits and giving more guidance to teachers.

(D) District Review Meetings

Every month, Joint Directors review the district and block officials. During the review, the school visits made and improvement made in schools, improvement in teaching learning processes are reviewed. Specific instructions for improving schools are discussed.

284 (E ) Handling Multigrade Situations

Teachers have acquired the skill in handling classes in multigrade situations through activities. Now teachers are able to prepare TLMs according to the competencies and needs.

In one selected block of each DPEP district, most of the teachers are able to handle classes through activities. In every district, there are teachers who can take demonstration classes. These resource teachers are used for training other teachers in various blocks. The teachers go to the school where the resource teacher is working, sit in the class with children and see how TLM is used, how activities are given, how teacher manages the class and how the teacher evaluates the children. By this, the teacher gets an on spot exposure and guidance.

Now, we have trained 5 teachers in each cluster in all DPEP districts and these teachers have started handling classes through activities. These resource teachers will give training to other teachers working in the schools in their CRC. Block level officials are also oriented in activity based teaching.

(F) Activity Cards

Through series of workshops we have generated 502 activity cards in all subjects in Std. 1, 2 and 3 and can be used to develop competencies in children.

Subject No. of C ards Tamil 77 English 7-1 Maths 130 EVS I 86 EV S II 135 T otal 502

The cards have been field tested and on the opinion of teachers they have been improved again. Our future plan is to print and give a set of activity cards for a group of 5 children in all schools in DPEP districts. All the teachers in a cluster will be given training to use these cards to facilitate effective learning in multigrade as well as monograde situations.

285 2.7. Efforts made to improve functioning of the Support Structures and institutes, namely CRCs, BRCs, DIETs and SCERTs:

The following are support structures that assist in the implementation of DPEP inputs.

(A ) C R C :

CRC is one of the vital components of DPEP and is the specialised unit in the stream of education with the ultimate motive of enhancing the Pedagogical Skills. In the seven DPEP Districts altogether, there are 993 CRC Centres, which are successfully functioning as detailed below

DPI - 180 TVM 191 CUD 111 VPM - 192 PBR - 95 PDK 1 14 RMD - 1 10 T otal - 993

The State Project Directorate has supplied furniture to each CRC and monitoring its activities by deputing its State and District DPEP Personnel.

Structure of CRC: Normally there arc 10-12 Schools in a Cluster and the no. of teachers may be 40-60. There is one CRC Co-ordinator and one Assistant Co-ordinator who are the senior most Headmaster of Middle and Primary Schools of that Cluster. They convene monthly meetings regularly on any one of the convenient Saturday, most probably in the I or II Saturday.

Functions of CRC: This Directorate has given instruction to all CRCs to run the Centres effectively. And also they give training to prepare Cluster Plan so that the CRC Co-ordinator is aware of the various needs of the schools such as building, furniture, compound wall, drinking water facilities, toilet apart from the teachers needed to the schools and in that centre. Adequate training is being given to prepare TLMs and in their use in actual classroom transaction. Rs. 10/- to each teacher as conveyance to attend the centre is also paid to them.

I'ree and frank discussions arc usually taking place on the improvement of pedagogical skills and effective instructions in the classroom transactions. Model Classcs are also being conducted by adopting innovative techniques. Provision has been given to utilise the services of Resource person from outside. CRC Co ordinators take steps to enroll all the school age children, to reduce DR, and enhance the CR.

2X6 (B) BRCs:

BRCs are the training centres to provide various trainings to teachers to enhance their teaching skills. 106 BRCs in 7 DPEP Districts are functioning with the staffing strength of 4 in each BRC. Out of 4 staff one personnel has been appointed as Supervisor in the cadre of B.T. Assistant and the other 3 have been appointed as Teacher Educators in the cadre of Secondary Grade Teachers.

Every centre has been equipped with adequate furniture TV, VCR, OHP, Audio, Video Cassettes and Public Address System. These centres are functioning in the buildings with all amenities built by DPEP.

The BRC Personnel have been given suitable training in the various subjects in std. I and V so that the BRC Staff are able to provide effective training to teachers on the hardspots in all the subjects, in their jurisdiction. BRCs have been trained in calculating and monitoring indicators and using them for microplanning.

(C) DIET:

The DIET is the prime institution for providing training on various subjects, approaches, new techniques in teaching learning process, feedback, evaluation etc., to improve the pedagogical skills of the teachers. They are giving training to the teachers and others to act as Resource Persons. They visit the schools to ascertain the effectiveness of the training they had given and to know the various problems in teaching learning process prevailing among the teachers and the pupils and to find out the remedial measures for the problems.

A vehicle to each DIET for effective visit of schools and other purposes related to Education has been provided. Adequate funds had also been allotted to meet the expenditure for conducting training programmes.

(D) Other Organisations and NGOs:

The community is ultimately the owner of the school. So, DPEP has taken initiatives to involve the public for the betterment of education in their habitation. As a result, PTAs and VLCs have been formed in each and every school, with the noble motive of providing amenities/assistance to the schools. Funds for TLM/Infrastructure have been operated with the help of VLCs. The general public are sensitised about the needs of providing education to all the children. Consequently, the community/public involve themselves in the process of enrolling all the school-aged children in the schools and also to take measures to increase retention, achievement and completion rate and to reduce the dropouts.

They have contributed lands, and constructed building to the schools. They also actively participate in all the school activities such as public functions, ... appointment of teachers on contract basis etc.

287 Contribution of NGOs: In some districts, NGOs have actively involved in the betterment of education. For example, in Dharmapuri district, MYRADA has appointed some teachers in the needy schools and built classrooms. 1ED, one of the components of the DPEP is being implemented in the 7 DPEP districts by utilising the services of the six NGOs with effect from March 1999. They have appointed special teachers in the allotted blocks and monitor the services of the special teachers. They have also conducted medical camps with the aid of medical personnel for screening the level of impairment and taken necessary steps to provide aids and appliances to the needy children which enabled the impaired children to attend school and get education.

Objective 3: Programme Management and Implementation

3.1. Information on process followed for Supervision of the Programme by the State. District and Sub-district levels management structures. Give example, if any, of how outcome, process and/or input indicators have been used to tackle district/sub-district specific problems in the implementation and for planning new intervention.

(A) Supervision of the programme at the block level

Cluster Resource Centres are not full time institutions. So supervision of the programmes are done at the block level, district level and state level.

In every block the schools in the block are equally divided by the AEEO and AAEEO. Moreover in every block, there is a block resource centre, which is managed by one supervisor and three teacher educators. These personnel visit schools intensively and during their visits give onsite support to teachers. Moreover, they monitor the usage of TLM grant and infrastructure grant. They also conduct model classes. Apart from visiting schools, they visit SC/ST Special Coaching Classes Alternative Schools and CRC meetings (observe the proceedings and give suitable suggestions for further improvement).

(B) Supervision at the District level

In every district, the DPC, ADPC, MDO, WDO and Consultants visit schools and submit their report to the DPC. Monthly review meetings are conducted by DPC for the block level personnel in which their work is reviewed. The district officials visit BRCs at the time of training.

(C) Supervision at the State level:

State officials review the work of districts every month in the districts

The State Project Director conducts review meetings of DPCs and ADPCs every month and assess the progress of various programmes implemented under DPEP.

The officials of the State Project visit schools, SC/ST Coaching Classes/ALS Centres, BRC, CRC and submit visit reports to the Director.

N ote: For the releases made by the Government of India for 2001-2002, Government of Tamil Nadu have issued orders for the release of matching grant and the bills have been presented for the following amounts.

Phase 1 317.617 lakhs Phase 11 70.588 lakhs

290 3.4. Estimation for Phase II States and Districts for the remaining period of the programme and anticipated expenditure upto 30.06.2003.

In Phase II upto 31.07.2001, a sum of Rs.4942.83 lakhs has been spent and there is a balance of Rs.4301.46 lakhs taking the total project cost of Rs. 9244.29 lakhs.

During 2000-2001 a sum of Rs.1298 lakhs has been spent including civil works expenditure of Rs.435 lakhs. Hence the approximate expenditure on programme activities including salary comes to Rs.5,400 lakhs for six years @ Rs.900 lakhs per year approximately. The expenditure on civil works component alone comes to nearly Rs.2800 lakhs.

Hence the anticipated expenditure upto 30.06.2003 will be Rs.8200 lakhs (Rs.5,400+Rs.2,800) for 6 years.

So the total project expenditure will be roughly Rs.8200 lakhs keeping a balance of nearly Rs.1000 lakhs.

The proposal for the anticipated savings in the project outlay in respect of Phase II district is as follows.

4.1 S ta te s ' and Districts ’ assessment status with respect to DPEPs. development objectives.

(A ) A ccess

The GAR is very high in all the districts. So by opening EGS centres in the habitations having around 15 out of school children in the relevant age group, universal access can be achieved.

(B) Enrolment

The percentage of out of school children is less than 5% in all the districts except Dharmapuri where it is 5%. Already 930 ALS are functioning. By experimenting with non residential bridge courses and residential courses majority of the out of school children can be roped in. In the DPEP districts of Tamil Nadu the problems of access and enrolment are not critical and serious.

(C) Internal Efficiency

C o m p letio n

As generally opined the problem of dropout is not seriously affecting the cohort completion rates as repetition does in DPEP districts in Tamil Nadu. Already a sizeable number of blocks (32 out of 106) have dropout rates below 10%. So, to enhance the completion rates the problem of repetition, which is mainly due to school related factors is to be addressed by improving teachers’ competency and motivation.

Students’ Achievement Levels

The comparison between Baseline and Terminal Assessment studies in Phase I districts shows that the range of increase is form 31.29% in Language in class IV in Villupuram to 62.49% in Mathematics in class I in Thiruvannamalai.

In the V Std. achievement test conducted for the academic years 1999-2000 and 2000­ 2001 for all children studying in V Std. the average achievement is more than 40% in all the subjects except English in the districts of Dharmapuri, Pudukkottai, Perambalur and Ramanathapuram.

These data reveal that the DPEP districts have almost attained the DPEP objectives in quality improvement, but the concern of the State Project Office and District Project Offices is to ensure that every child enrolled in Std. I should complete primary schooling in five years and that every child should have a high level of attainment in terms of quality. So identifying low performance schools and low performing children has become imperative. Though the road ahead has a lot of obstacles in the form of human motivation and competence, the state has embarked upon, with full vigour, the long journey with focus on every school and individual child.

297 4.2. To what extent has DPEP been successful in affecting change processes in the primary education system as envisaged in the DPEP buildings.

The primary education system has been positively influenced by DPEP.

(A) The need for establishing block level resource institutions was felt intensively and hence Tamil Nadu Government have permitted the opening of BRCs in three non-DPEP districts namely, Theni, Thiruvarur and Sivaganga. 30 BRCs have been established in these three districts. (B) Many capacity building programmes have been implemented for DIET personnel both from DPEP and non-DPEP districts. a) School Mapping: Dr. Zaidi and Dr. Biswal from NIEPA gave an orientation training to DIET faculty (Planning and Management) for three days. b) Classroom observation: Mr. C.N. Subramanian and his colleague from Eklavya, Bhopal trained DIET faculty (DPEP and Non-DPEP districts) in classroom observation. (C) Household survey was conducted m both DPEP and Non-DPEP districts to identify the out of school children and to calculate GER and NER for use in microplanning. (D) Cohort Study initiated in DPEP districts, to assess the Completion Rate, Dropout Rate and Repetition Rate, was undertaken in all the non-DPEP districts in February 2001 for 1995-96 to 97-2000 Cohort. (E) TLM grant Rs.300/- is given to schools with three or less than three teachers and Rs.500/- to schools with five and more than five teachers.

The need for capacity building and using monitoring indicators to assess progress has been felt and assimilated in non-DPEP districts also.

4.3 Implementation Status of various DPEP components

1. Civil Works: All construction works initially planned have been completed. Additional civil works planned due to enhanced ceiling on civil works are in progress. Entire construction work will be completed before 31.12.2001. 2. Opening of new schools : 406 new schools have been opened upto 31.03.2001 3. Appointment of additional teachers: 1026 teachers have been appointed in Phase I districts. For the new schools opened one teachcr is posted in the first year and headmaster in the second year. Based on the strength of the new schools additional teachers are also appointed under DPEP. 4. Opening of ALS Centres: ALS centres are functioning in both the Phases from 1998-99 onwards. During 2001-2002, 930 centres are functioning. 5. Special Coaching Classes: Special Coaching Classes are functioning in both the Phases from 1997-98 onwards. During 2001-2002, 2434 centres are functioning. 6. Integrated Education: Integrated Education for the Disabled is provided m 42 blocks with the help of NGOs working in the field of Integrated Education for the disabled.

298 7. Curriculum Development: Textbooks have been prepared for Stds. IV and V by DPEP. Revised textbooks, prepared by DPEP for stds. I, II & III, have been introduced in all the schools in Tamil Nadu. 8. Training: Training is given to teachers to build their capacity and in making teaching a joyful experience. Activity based teaching and multigrade teaching techniques have been developed by resource persons specially trained for the purpose. 9. Distance Education Programme: Training through distance mode has been undertaken with the assistance of IGNOU by installing sophisticated transmission equipment. Teleconferencing on teaching of Tamil, Maths, IED (Hearing Impaired), Orientation of CRC co-ordinators and community mobilisation was undertaken by DPEP. 10. Media Activities : Awareness campaigns and metric melas are conducted to secure community support and participation. Publishing of district newsletters and quarterly magazine Sudar by the state are undertaken. Annual reports were prepared, printed and distributed. Documentation of various DPEP activities are undertaken. Audio and video cassettes on teaching methods have been prepared and distributed to all the schools and BRCs. 11. Quality Improvement: Class room atmosphere has been changed making learning a joyful experience to pupils. Activity based teaching and multigrade teaching techniques have increased the achievement levels of children. The dropout and repetition rates have come down while the completion rate has increased. 12. Research Activity : Action research programme and formal research activities have been completed. Baseline Studies in Phase II and Mid-Term . Assessment Study in both the Phases have been completed. Terminal Assessment Study in Phase 1 has also been done by DPEP. Training and analysis of EMIS data were undertaken. Cohort study to determine the internal efficiency of schools was undertaken in all the 7 DPEP districts.

4.4 Studies planned for final evaluation o f DPEP

1. A study on enrolment in the project districts over the project period. 2. A study on dropout reduction in the project districts over the project period. 3. A study on the performance on equity front in the project districts over the project period. 4. A study on retention and promotion in the project districts over the project period. 5. A study on achievement levels of children in the project districts over the project period. 6. A trend report on the financial inputs in the different districts over the project period. 7. A study on the performance on the civil works front in terms of financial and physical inputs in the different districts over the project period. 8. Capacity Building at district and sub-district levels. 9. The involvement of community, VLC and PRIs, in improving school performance. 10. Linkage issues at all levels.

299 4.5. Commitment made by the State Government to Sustain the DPEP sains

1. All studies undertaken in DPEP districts have been extended to non-dpep districts also (household survey, School information, cohort study, achievement test etc.).

2. Government of Tamil Nadu has established 30 Block Resource Centres on an experimental basis in three non-DPEP districts.

3. Trainings are being given to teachers at the block level with the assistance of selected, trained resource persons in Non-DPEP districts.

4. Sarva Siksha Abiyan is to be implemented in all the districts in Tamil Nadu and necessary actions have already been initiated in this regard.

5. Hence all the programme components of DPEP will be continued after the project period.

6. Sustainability report finalised by the sub-committee formed by the Government of Tamil Nadu has submitted its report to Government of Tamil Nadu and it is being finalised.

7. Sustainability of DPEP initiatives in the Post-DPEP period in Tamilnadu is far , from being a concern-causing challenge.

The estimates of all major items of recurring cost have been made. The annual commitments including the 10% margin for contingencies of increased outgo is of the order of Rs.30 crores.

Improvements in the quality of primary schooling with the special focus on teachers and teachter development

The E)IET, Bhimtal developed some indicators for assessment of school based activities and deterrmined categories of school, based on the above indicators. This was a useful exercise as the school Is were aware of the factors causing hindrance to achieve a better grade and they strived for improwement in their performance.

Durinjg the SRG meeting, it was felt that some tools must be developed to assess over all activitiies of the students. The tools will be so simple as to enable even an ordinary educated guardiiar. or member of village community to assess the performance of his/her ward. Based on these assumptions preliminary exercises were undertaken to develop the tools for school assesssment.

These tools were to be used by the teachers for self-assessment and school assessment, by the supervisor for supervision, by the NPRCc & BRCc for school grading and by the guardian and commiunity at large for the assessment of achievement made by the students.

In a fuirther workshop 2-4th Nov.2001 the school assessment tools will be prepared for the field trial. These tools will be tried out, revised and finalized. After sharing them with the different stakeholder, they will be applied for school assessment.
