OF REFUGEE RELIEF AND REHABILITATION Government of West Bengal Dated, Calcutta 28.6.2000 FOREWORD It is a matter of satisfaction to me that 4th Annual Report of the Department of School Education, Government of West Bengal is being presented to all concerned who are interested to know the facts and figures of the system and achievements of the Department. The deficiencies which were revealed in the last 3 successive reports have been tried to be overcome in this report. The figures in relation to all sectors of School Education Department have been updated. All sorts of efforts have been taken in preparation of this Annual Report sO that the report may be all embracing in respect of various information of this Department. All the facts and figures in respect of achievement of Primary Education including the District Primary Education Programme have been incorporated in this Report. The position of Secondary School have been clearly adumbrated in this issue. At the same time, a large number of X-class High Schools which have been upgraded to Higher Secondary Schools (XI-XII) have also been mentioned in this Report. Madrasah Education in West Bengal have been upgraded and full financial responsibility of running all these Madrasahs including senior Madrasahs have been taken over by the Left Front Government of this State. Efforts have been taken to strengthen the Madrasah system of education. The role of educational organisation has again been mentioned in this report. District Primary School Councils and State Board of Primary Education have been playing a vital role for administering Primary education in West Bengal. Secondary education and Higher Secondary education have been governed by West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education respectively. These two organisations are autonomous in their academic and administrative activities. State Council of Educational Research & Training (SCERT) is to play a vital role in both Primary and Secondary education. The position of this organisation has been further developed to meet the demand of the situation. I trust, this document will of very much helpful to the people who are interested to know the prevailing situation of school education department. Though this issue is more informative than the previous issues but still I confess that there are lacunae and constructive criticism are welcome from all corners in order to make the next issue more informative. (KANTl BJSWAS) SCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF WEST BENGAL BIKASH BHAVAN, SALT LAKE Secretary CALCUTTA 700 091 Tele: 334 2228 Fax; 337 6561 PREFACE In this Annual Report we have made all endeavour to cover all facets of School Education Department of this State and its progress during 1999-2000. We have entered the new millennium with high hope of achieving universalization of elementary education within reasonable timeframe. During this year under review we have focussed major attention on Primary Education, since it is an area which requires top most priority in resource mobilization and community involvement. Keeping in view the implementation of universalization of primary education in the first phase we have formulated integrated programme of primary education for non-DPEP districts. During this year further five districts of West Bengal have come under the aegies of District Primary Education Programme (DPEP). In the similar pattern of holistic approach of DPEP we have introduced Integrated Universalization of Primary Education Programme in 8 non-DPEP districts. The State Government has sanctioned a sizeable amount of fund to the tune of Rs. 40 crores for initiating this programme which includes preparation of district plan, infrastructure development and teachers’ training programme. UNICEF has also assisted us for initiating this programme. This programme has been launched on 1st March, 2000. For community involvement, we have formed Village Education Committee in non-DPEP districts as well. To achieve our objective, we have involved Panchayati Raj Institutions and District administration for strengthening our effort, convergence of fund and activities of different Departments for development of primary education in the area. Simultaneously District Primary Education Programme has gathered momentum in 10 districts. Keeping in view the universalization of elementary education, existing DPEP society has been expanded to cover all non-DPEP districts and widened its scope to cover elementary education. A new society is being formed known as “Paschim Banga Praramvik Siksha Unnayan Sanstha”. Simultaneously, we have consolidated our effort to strengthen the secondary and higher secondary education. Large number of new secondary schools have been set up. The State Government has taken step for gradual withdrawal of higher secondary courses from colleges and upgradation of large number of secondary schools to higher secondary level. We have also stressed special emphasis on development of Madrasah Education and same emphasis has also been given for development of School Education in minority dominated areas. We have also taken steps for strengthening teachers’ training through SCERT and DIET during the year under review.
