Suggest four points of strategies for the success of S SA
Answers
Some of the major strategies which are very vital to Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in India are as follows:
1. Institutional Reforms:
The Central and the State governments will undertake reforms in order to improve efficiency of the delivery system. The States will have to make an objective assessment of their prevalent education system including educational administration, achievement levels in schools, financial issues, decentralisation and community ownership, review of State Education Act, rationalization of teacher deployment and recruitment of teachers, monitoring and evaluation, status of education of girls, SC/ST and disadvantaged groups, policy regarding private schools and Early childhood Care and Education.

The SSA is based on the premise that financing of elementary education interventions has to be sustainable. This calls for a long-term perspective on financial partnership between the Central and the State Government.
3. Community Ownership:
