MESSAGE

Teaching is a profession and teacher education is a process of

professional preparation of teachers. Preparing one for a profession is an

arduous task and it involves action from multiple fronts and perspectives.

Pre-service teacher training has a major role to play in making a good

teacher. It marks the initiation of the novice entrant to the calling of

teaching profession and as such has tremendous potential to imbue the

would-be teacher with the aspirations, knowledge-base, repertoire of

pedagogic capacities and humane attitude.

I am sure the suggested activities in the ALMANAC will go a long

way in helping the pre-service teacher educators and institutions i.e.

DIETs and Private D.Ed colleges to impart quality teacher training to

their student-teachers.

DUTIES OF A CITIZEN

Man who is a social being has certain responsibilities towards other individuals as well as groups. These empathetic responsibilities are called as Duties. Rights without duties lead to anarchy. Duties without rights are the indications of slavery. Therefore the rights and duties are like two sides of the same coin.

Duties are mainly of two types :

1) Moral duties 2) Legal duties

1) Moral duties :

(i) Respect towards parents, teachers and other elders (ii) Love and affection for brothers, sisters and others (iii) Helping the needy and poor (iv) Being truthful.

2) Legal duties :

The duties that are discharged under law are called “Legal Duties”.

(i) Respecting the Constitution (ii) Paying the taxes (iii) Obeying the State The Indian Constitution clearly states the fundamental duties of citizens. They are: The Citizens shall, 1. Honour Indian constitution, Nationality and National Anthem. 2. Cherish and follow the ideals that inspired the Freedom movement of the

country. 3. Strive to protect the Sovereignty, Unity and Integrity of the Country. 4. Be ready to serve the country for its defence and render national service to it

as and when required.

5. Strive to establish Tranquility and Fraternity among the people and uphold the status of Women.

6. Honour and preserve the Indian culture.

93

7. Strive to maintain the Ecological balance and protect Nature’s beauty which is manifest in forests, rivers, wild life etc., of the country.

8. Develop humanitarian attitude and scientific temper.

9. Protect public property and protest against violence and

10. Strive for National development individually and collectively.

The student teachers can appreciate the linkage of the fundamental duties of citizens with the ten core elements of National Curriculum as envisaged in National Policy on Education 1986 as modified in 1992 and National Curriculum frame work 2000 published by NCERT, New Delhi and strive at every stage to stick to these provisions.

MID-DAY MEALS PROGRAMME IN A.P.

Government of Andhra Pradesh have started implementing the Mid-day Meal Programme from 2nd Jan, 2003 to the children of classes I - V in Government, Local Bodies and Government aided schools and EGS / AIE centres.

To encourage the poor children belonging to disadvantaged section, to attend

school more regularly and help them concentrate in class room activities. To provide Nutritional Support to children of Primary stage in drought-affected

areas during summer vacations. Government of Andhra Pradesh extended this scheme to Classes VI – VIII during

2007-08 and then to Classes IX to X in the year 2008-09. Menu is flexible with cooked rice and sambar, Pulihar being the main menu with

egg or banana twice a week. Primary, Upper Primary and High Schools including Madarsas/ Maqtabs/ AIE/

EGS Centres/NCLP Schools are covered. In rural areas DWCRA/Self Help Groups /SEC/Other agencies like temple, NGOs

of proven track record, charitable trusts/Group of parents (in this order of preference) are identified by the Mandal Revenue Officer in Rural Areas.

CHILD LABOUR IS A CRIME Various Labour Commissions and committees have gone into the problem of child labour and made extensive recommendations. Child Labour is treated as an evil of the society. It recognized the need to prevent child labour and children from exploitation and from being subject to work in hazardous conditions that endanger such children’s physical and mental development and hence, the need to ensure the health, growth and development of children in terms of education ; the prime indicator in development. Legislative provisions and definition of Child Labour : The child labour (prohibition & Regulation) Act, 1986 prohibits engagement of children in certain employments and regulates the conditions of working children. Govt. of A.P. presents redefines child labour as “All out of school children in the school age are child labour”. The Govt. of A.P. have started alternative learning system such as STP and NCLP apart from regular formal schools. This is done for every out of school child on case to case for those who are in between 9-14 years age out of school children.’ At present, it is surveyed that there are only about 5 lakh children of school age are out of school. These meager figures are unlike the bigger, awful figures of last few decades. This is due to strenuous efforts of various wings of dept. like DPEP / RVM and certain Non Govt. Organizations (NGOs) who are treated “partners” with Govt. in this lofty goal of bringing “Out of school children” to “school”, with the co-operation of field functionaries like DEOs, Dy.EOs, APCs, teacher educators, MEOs, HMs, MRPs, teachers and various teachers organisations, who are working hard to achieve this goal, with the motto “Right place for the child is school”.

CHILD RIGHTS India ratified the UN convention on the rights of the child in Dec’92. The charter on child’s rights was drafted by the UN General Assembly in Nov. 1989. It is a set of International Standards and measures intended to protect and promote the well being of children in the society. The convention provides the legal basis for initiating action to ensure the rights of the children in society. It draws attention to our sets of civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of every child.

1. The right to survival : It includes the right to life, the highest attainable standard of health and nutrition

and adequate standards of living. It also includes the right to a name and a nationality.

95

2. The right to protection : It includes freedom from all forms of exploitation, abuse, inhuman or degrading treatment, and neglect including the rights to special protection in situations of emergency and armed conflicts.

3. The right to development :

It includes the right to education, support for early childhood development and care, social security, and the right to leisure, recreation and cultural activities.

4. The right to participation :

It includes respect for the views of the child, freedom of expression, access to appropriate information, freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

The student teachers have to recognize linkages and interface of these “Child rights” in their teacher education curriculum and school curriculum and work with emotional diligence to promote and uphold these rights of the child, our positive asset to be cherished and nurtured.

Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act , 2009

INTRODUCTION The framers of the Constitution in their wisdom chose to include education in the

Directive Principles of State Policy and not in the section on fundamental rights and correspondingly Article 45 stated that: “The State shall endeavour to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of the Constitution, for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.” However education remained a neglected area of state policy with universalization of elementary education continuing to be a distant goal. Efforts from educationists, academics and civil society groups that focused on a rights based approach finally yielded results in 2002, when the 86th Constitutional Amendment was passed by Parliament and Article 21A, which makes right to education a fundamental right, was included in the Constitution. In so doing it put the Right to Education on par with the Right to Life stated in Article 21. Article 21 A states: "the state shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of 6 to 14 years as the state may, by law determine". Following from this a Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE) was drafted and passed in Parliament on August 27, 2009 (notified on February 16, 2010 to come into effect from April 1, 2010). MAIN FEATURES OF THE ACT :

1. Makes Elementary Education Free 2. Makes Elementary Education Compulsory for the State to provide 3. Mandates education of children along their peer age group (“age-appropriate”);

provides for “special training” to facilitate age appropriate education 4. Sets quality norms for all schools 5. Sets qualification and working norms for Teachers in all schools 6. Mandates curriculum in all schools to be in consonance with Constitutional

Values 7. Mandates a system of evaluation that is free of the oppression of annual exams 8. Enhances role of PRIs in implementation as well as grievance redressal. 9. Mandates participation of civil society in the management of schools; makes

teachers accountable to parents and the community 10. Democratizes education delivery in the country by mandating 25% reservation

for children from weaker sections in private schools. 11. Protects children from labour, marriage, exploitation, discrimination, abuse,

violence and neglect. 12. Separates agency for implementation of Act (Education Department) from

agency charged with monitoring the implementation of the Act (NCPCR)

100

1. Free Elementary Education for ALL children in age group 6-14 years in a neighbourhood school.

What does “free” mean? According to the Act, no financial constraints can “prevent” a child from a enrolling, attending and completing elementary education. In other words, if a child lives in a remote area, providing free transportation (or a residential facility or some other facility) will be part of the child’s entitlement to education; if a child is disabled and needs crutches to walk to school then crutches, or some other facility that enables him to go to school will be part of his entitlement under the Act. What is elementary education? Elementary education is 8 years of education corresponding to classes 1-8. This in most cases includes children between 6-14 years, but in states that start at 5 years and go up to class7, RTE would still extend to class 8. What is a neighbourhood school? The neighbourhood has been given a wide definition in the Model Rules of the Act. Ordinarily it is 1 km walking distance from the habitation of a child at the primary level and 3 km for upper primary level. However, in areas with sparse populations, or those prone to natural disasters or with difficult terrain or civil unrest, this limitation may be changed and transportation or residential facilities provided to children so that their education is not interrupted or disrupted.

2. Compulsory Elementary Education. The word compulsory has implications for the government alone. In other words while it is the DUTY of the parent to send their children to school (Article 15k) it is the OBLIGATION of the government to ensure not just enrolment but attendance and completion of elementary education. This implies that the government

a. Must identify all children that are out of school or dropped out b. Make sure that they are enrolled in school c. Make sure they attend school on a regular basis d. Make sure they complete the elementary cycle of education. e. If parents are reluctant to send their children it is the responsibility of the

government to find a way of convincing the parents, without use of force/ violence/pressure to send their children to school.

3. Age Appropriate Education. a. This means that children will be enrolled in the class that corresponds to

their age. In other words, if a 10 year old has not been to school or dropped out earlier, she will be enrolled in class 5.

101

b. To enable the 10 year to cope in class 5 “special training” will be provided on the premises to bring the child up to the age appropriate level.

4. Quality Norms for ALL schools. The Act lays out some basic norms for all schools

(government and private): a. Pupil- Teacher Ratio (cannot exceed 1:30) b. Minimum days of school functioning in a year (200 and 250 for primary

and Upper Primary, respectively) c. Minimum hours of instruction in school (4 and 5 hours a day for primary

and UP) d. Minimum working hours for the teacher (45 hours a week) e. Separate subject teachers and head-teacher f. One room for every teacher g. Separate and functional toilets; clean and adequate drinking water h. Playground, boundary wall, library, kitchen

5. Qualifications for Teachers.

a. Para Teachers banned b. All teachers must subscribe to minimum qualifications and training norms

laid out by Academic Authority within 5 years. c. Teacher education and Teacher training institutes to be upgraded to enable

fulfillment of quality and qualification norms for teachers.

6. Curriculum in line with Constitution. a. This means that curriculum, syllabus and books must conform to

Constitutional values. It implies that communal and harmful agendas cannot be part of the materials used and taught in ANY school of the country.

b. Syllabus and Books must also take into account age and learning levels of children

7. Evaluation system to be based on principle of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).

a. No failure till completion of elementary cycle b. Evaluation to be done throughout the year and not be based on an annual

exam. c. Teachers to maintain PUPIL CUMMULATIVE RECORD (PCR) for every

child. d. Evaluation to be on “comprehensive” performance of child, reflecting all

facets, talents of the child and not be based on just a few subject areas. The PCR to include music, theatre, leadership skills, social skills etc., as well.

102

8. Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions:

a. The PRIs have been given a wide range of functions related to the implementation of the provisions of the RTE, such as identification of out of school children; neighbourhood-wise school mapping; maintenance of child records (child-tracking) public display of information; education of children from migrant families; participation in School Management Committees (SMCs)

b. PRIs have also been made responsible for grievance redressal in matters related to violations of the rights of the child under RTE.

9. Participation of Civil Society

a. School Management Committees consisting largely of parents (75%) and of PRIs officials and civil society partners have been given a wide range of functions under the Act, including the preparation of the School Development Plan

b. Teachers have been made accountable to the SMCs.

10. Reservation in Private Schools a. All private schools are required to admit in their incoming class 25%

children from weaker sections and socially disadvantaged groups from their neighbourhood.

b. Limits of definition to be extended if 25% seats are not being filled within the standard limits of neighbourhood.

c. Private schools to be reimbursed for these children by the government at the rate of per learner costs of government schools in the state.

11. Separation of Implementation and Monitoring Agency. a. Implementation responsibilities lie with the education departments in

conjunction with the PRIs b. Monitoring role has been given to the National Commission for Protection

of Child Rights (NCPCR) and the corresponding State Commissions. c. This separation is very important and a first in the history of such

legislations and allows for independent monitoring of the implementation of the Act.

d. NCPCR/ SCPCR have quasi-judicial powers and can function as a civil court. Complaints and grievances can be addressed to them as well.

RASHTRIYA MADHYAMIK SHIKSHA ABHIYAN (RMSA)

Vision

The vision for secondary education is to make good quality education available, accessible and affordable to all young persons in the age group of 14-18years. With this vision in mind, the following is to be achieved:

To provide a secondary school within a reasonable distance of any habitation, which

should be 5 Kms for secondary schools and 7-10 Kms for higher secondary schools; Ensure universal access of secondary education by 2017 (GER of 100%), and

Universal retention by 2020; and Providing access to secondary education with special references to economically

weaker sections of the society, the educationally backward, the girls and the disabled children residing inrural areas and other marginalized categories like SC, ST, OBC and Educationally Backward Minorities (EBM).

Goals and Objectives

The prime goal is universalisation of secondary education. In order to meet the challenge of universalisation of secondary education (USE), there is a need for a paradigm shift in the conceptual design of secondary education. The guiding principles in this regard are: universal access, equality and social justice, relevance and development and structural and curricular aspects. Universalisation of secondary education gives opportunity, to move towards equity. The concept of ‘common school’ will be encouraged. If these values are to be established in the system, all types of schools including unaided private schools will also contribute towards universalisation of secondary education by ensuring adequate enrolments for the children from under privileged society and the children of below poverty line (BPL) families. The goals translate into the following main objectives.

i) To ensure that all secondary schools have physical facilities, staff and supplies at

least according to the prescribed standards through financial support in case of Government/ Local Body and Government aided schools, and appropriate regulatory mechanism in the case of other schools;

ii) To improve access to secondary schooling to all young persons according to norms – through proximate location (say, Secondary Schools within 5 kms, and Higher Secondary Schools within 7-10 kms), efficient and safe transport arrangements/residential facilities, depending on local circumstances including open schooling. However in hilly and difficult areas, these norms can be relaxed. Preferably residential schools may be set up in such areas;

iii) To ensure that no child is deprived of secondary education of satisfactory quality due to gender, socio-economic, disability and other barriers;

128

iv) To improve quality of secondary education resulting in enhanced intellectual, social and cultural learning;

v) To ensure that all students pursuing secondary education receive education of good quality; and

vi) Achievement of the above objectives would also, inter-alia, signify substantial progress in the direction of the Common School System.
