CHAPTER-I PERFORMANCE REVIEW
SCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
1.1 ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
Highlights The Government of India had formulated the National Education Policy in the year 1986 and Right to Education Act in 2009 which inter-alia provided Universal Elementary Education of good quality for education to children in the age group 6-14 years through provision of schools with appropriate infrastructure within an approachable distance. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan was launched in 2001 to achieve the goal of Universal Elementary Education through a time-bound integrated approach, in partnership with states and Right to Education Act, 2009 was introduced in the State only during March 2011. Mid day Meal programme was also launched with an aim to give a boost to the universalisation of primary education by increasing enrolment, retention and attendance and simultaneously improving the nutritional status of students in primary classes. The programme was further extended to students of middle schools. A performance audit of Elementary Education in Mizoram revealed certain shortcomings in the implementation of programmes due to improper planning, handling of funds, deployment of WHDFKHUVGLYHUVLRQRIIXQGVLQWHUIHUHQFHE\H[WHUQDOERGLHVLQFOXVLRQRILQHOLJLEOHEHQH¿FLDULHV VXEVWDQGDUGH[HFXWLRQRIZRUNVLQHI¿FLHQWPRQLWRULQJHWF
