Maharashtra lags in RTE compliance

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 04 November 2012 | 22.23

MUMBAI: Maharashtra does not figure among the top 10 states or Union territories in implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, including parameters such as reserving 25% seats for the poor in private schools.

From something as basic as providing drinking water facilities at schools to upgrading the curriculum, Maharashtra lags in at least six parameters, showed a Central government review of the RTE Act for 2011-12 academic year.

According to the RTE Act, all states were supposed to renew their curricula. While Bihar, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa have already completed the exercise, Maharashtra's curriculum is still in the works — one of only nine states that are lagging.

N K Jarag, director of Maharashtra State Council of Educational Research and Training (MSCERT), though, said the new curriculum will be given to the state government soon for approval, and will be implemented from the next academic year. Jarag added there has been no delay in renewing the syllabus.

While Maharashtra is not among the states that have the highest number of untrained teachers, the state is yet to conduct the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). This, even as 23 others have already completed it.

Maharashtra has a total of 3.4 lakh sanctioned posts for teachers under the Sarva Shikshan Abhiyan Scheme, of which 32,746 were vacant. The percentage of schools that comply with the pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) is around 81.7%. Though it is better than the country's average of 59%, ot her bigger states such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Ja mmu and Kashmir fare better; Maharashtra stands 14th.

While 92.2% of 69,722 schoo ls in the state have drinking water, its performance cannot be counted among the best; 98-100 % schools in Delhi, Gujarat and Punjab have it.
