Chapter Plan Overview One

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The mission of SSA is to provide Universal Elementary Education for all. “QUALITY WITH EQUITY” is a cornerstone of the universal elementary education effort. The four main goals of SSA are Universal access and enrolment, Bridging gender and social category gaps, Quality Education and Universal retention. “Today’s children are tomorrow’s pillars of the Nation”. The nation can bestow no greater or better gift on these children than an opportunity for their education. Education enlightens the life of the students. SSA has bestowed this gift on the children to pave a better way in their life. The state of Tamil Nadu has taken many steps to implement it. SSA which has been established from 2002 has brought about remarkable changes almost in all the components connected to Elementary Education. SSA has brought in, decentralized planning in the districts to ensure the addressal of local needs and the need-based and supply of local specific interventions. Participation of the local community in all the activities is one of the endearing aspects of SSA. The District AWP & B 2009-10 of Thiruvallur District has been prepared on the guidelines given by the State Project Director. The EER, DISE, COHORT are some of the sources for the data presented. Our District Plan is a consolidated account of the plans received from all block level committees. Chapter I gives an overview of the plan, Chapter II gives details of implementation of the scheme during 2008-09 along with a comparison of work done in the preceding years. Chapter III deals with the Strategies adopted this year, the issues faced and the strategies to be adopted in the ensuing year. Chapter IV deals with the activities and budget for 2009-10.

1.2 Data source for planning:- The principal sources of Data for the preparation of AWP&B are household Survey (2005), DISE 2008, Cohort Study, Review formats, Census 2001 and Management Studies. 1.2.1 Household Survey (2005) An extensive Household Survey was conducted in 2005 covering the entire State. The reference date for the survey is July 1st 2005. Information relating to school-age children, enrolment, out-of-school children, reasons for drop-out, non-enrolment, literacy rate etc. had been collected. These data have been used for the purpose of planning and evolving problem-specific, local-specific strategies to attain Universal Enrolment, Retention and Completion. Every year these data are updated by the teachers during the month of May. 1.2.2 DISE 2008-09

DISE report is one of the major sources of planning. DISE includes all the schools, even the unaided, private schools. DISE is a complete data-bank of a school’s infrastructure, available facilities, needs, student teacher strength, vacancy position etc. The reports generated at the Block and District level are shared with user departments, viz. School Education and Elementary Education Directorates. 1.2.3 COHORT STUDY 2008

The Cohort study of this year was conducted in all government, aided and unaided schools .The studies were then consolidated to find the CR, RR, DR along with the Transition rate of students. The study helps to grade schools on the strength of its performance in the last five years for primary and last three years for upper primary. 1.2.4 ELEMENTARY EDUCATION REGISTER& SCHOOL MAPPING DOCUMENTS

• The EER consists of all the particulars regarding the children of 0-14 age group. The child’s name, date of birth, parent’s name, address, community, year in which he/she has to be enrolled in I standard can

be gathered from the VER. This register has to be updated every year by the HM of the primary and upper primary schools. • The School Mapping document gives a clear picture of many habitations with access to a primary school, middle school, high school and higher secondary school. It is very useful to find if there is a need for up gradation of schools. 1.2.5 Achievement Studies & Progress Report

SSA is a marvelous scheme which is striving hard for the Quality Education to all. Baseline Survey has been conducted during 2008 October. The tests were based on competences. The Question paper was set by SPD office and given to the blocks in sealed covers and central valuation was done zone-wise and the results were analyzed. There is a vast improvement among the students of II and IV standard. The achievement rate among the students of II STD has been increased to 36.5% in Tamil, 39.42% in English, 24.49% in Maths and the achievement rate among the students of IV STD has been increased to 44.51% in Tamil, 69.04% in English, 46.78% in Maths which is really a remarkable achievement. S.S.A. relies on the ‘bottom-up’ process in planning and implementation. It lays undue stress on participation of the village community, teachers and parents in planning, to ensure the proper reflection of school specific need. On account of planning on all levels, the felt needs of the habitations (educational) are all taken into account to provide quality education to all the young learners who hail mostly from the under-privileged economic sector of the society. 1.3 PLAN FORMULATION:-
