Five Suggestions For The New Education Policy
1. Reformulate the RTE based on outcomes
There is a dire need to revisit The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE)-2009. RTE has been successful in providing universal access to elementary education, increasing retention and improving school infrastructure. But it has failed to improve learning levels of children.
The annual nationwide ASER (Annual Status of Education Report) shows that between 2009 and 2014, the reading levels across India (barring a few Southern states) have either declined or stagnated.
Basic arithmetic abilities of children have largely worsened all across the country. The government acknowledges this and has prioritized ensuring the learning outcomes in elementary education as the top priority in the consultation theme.
It needs some introspection as to why, despite increased budgetary outlays, infrastructure and pupil teacher-norms through RTE, the learning levels are showing no signs of improvement.
Perhaps the RTE Act is to be blamed. The Section 16 of RTE states that no child shall be expelled or held back in a class until he/she completes elementary schooling.
2. Improve public schools for quality and social integration
Another mandate of RTE which needs careful rethinking is the one-size-fits all approach of reserving 25% of seats (Section 12 (1) (c)) in private schools for the weaker sections of the society. This clause was conceived to expand the options for poor parents to send their kids to private schools, an alibi for the voucher system. It reflects an implicit assumption by the government that private schools are better than the public schools.
3. Increase budgetary allocation on education
To improve the schooling system, budgetary allocations have to be increased. Right from the time of Kothari Commission, there has been repeated calls by educationalists, NGOs and policy analysts that the governments should allocate 6% of GDP towards education.
4. Universalize Secondary Education
India is close to achieving universal access to elementary education. However, elementary education is too basic to provide any life skills or vocational skills for productive employment. The next logical step for government should be to universalize secondary education.
5. Replicate successful Government school systems
To provide quality secondary education, the Government can look back at the successful system of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. Rajiv Gandhi had mooted the idea of setting up NVs in 1986, as part of the National Policy on Education (NPE) to nurture bright rural children. Navodaya Vidyalayas are fully residential rural schools with classes from VI- XIIth. There are about 590 NVs with two lakh students enrolled across all districts in India, barring Tamil Nadu.
