👨🎓 Emphasis on QUALITY of EDUCATION 🚍
------------------------------------------------------------------
Govt wants to dramatically change school education in a mission mode, in the remaining 9 mo of its term!!
Govt has put a strong thrust on quality of education at each and every school. Each of the states' schools will be assessed and graded in 70 areas, deficiencies will be identified and corrective actions prescribed. Centre will fund improvements with additional monies and hand-hold states where changes in their systems are required (eg teacher training, e-learning). Fortunately, all states and UTs are participating.
Adequate teacher numbers and quality are perhaps most crucial. This necessitates a good teacher training system and regular assessments of teacher performances and learning outcomes. They stress the need for direct entry recruitment for maintaining high standards in leadership roles. Besides they will look at school infrastructure, use of technology as teaching aids, school policies and the robustness of the management.
New initiatives
---------------------
─ Digital teaching tools for every school
─ E-learning material in various languages
─ 4 year integrated Bachelors of Education includes an internship. Courses will teach global best practices, and ensure proficiency in modern teaching tools incl. digital & e-learning platforms.
─ Diksha portal to digitally upgrade skills of 1.3m teachers without formal training.
─ Niti Aayog will compile the Education Quality Index (for grading States' schooling systems) based on 33 out of 70 criteria.
─ 562 new Ekalavya Model Residential School (one in each tribal block by 2022): free, high-quality education from class 6th to 12th, ample facilities, computers, activities, tours, sports & arts. Very popular with states. (271 EMRSs earlier sanctioned out of which 190 are operational).

Revitalising Infrastructure and Systems in Education (RISE) 👨🎓
-----------------------------------------------------
Funding
Under RISE, centrally funded HE institutes will be given 10-year loans from govt agency HEFA, instead of grants for infra development. Rs 100,000cr corpus will be created over 4 years. Govt has increased HEFA's capital base to Rs 10,000cr and asked it to tap markets with commercial and govt guaranteed bonds. Over time, HEFA will collect back 10% of principle from older Central Universities, & 25-100% of principle from older technical institutes. However, all new institutes and to-be-established AIIMS, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Navodaya Vidyalaya, etc will have all loan payments paid by respective ministries. New IITs will be partially funded by loans taken out by older IITs.
Spending
─ 2 new Schools of Planning & Architecture (SPAs) & 18 more within IITs & NITs
─ Rail university at Vodadara
─ 24 new medical colleges (attached to district hospitals) in under-served areas in 3 years & expansion of existing medical colleges, to add 10,000 MBBS and 8,000 PG seats
─ Upgrading of PG teaching facilities and district medical faculties
─ 3 new AIIMS in Jharkhand, Gujarat & Telangana, added to 10 new AIIMS sanctioned between 2014-18 and not yet built. Expansion of existing 7 AIIMS - eg AIIMS Delhi (Rs 2,163cr, 184-bed super-speciality blocks) and AIIMS Bhubaneswar (from 450 to 850 beds).
─ AIIMS like institutes: IMS-BHU converted to 700 AIIMS, a new AIIMS-like facility at Tripura.
─ 20 Institutes of Eminence will be nominated, which should have the potential & capability to move up, to be ranked among the top 100 global institutes. Rs10,000cr has been sanctioned.
─ 6 IITs will be built. Rs 7000cr is allocated till 2020 for temporary sites, and Rs 13,000cr till 2024 for permanent premises. Land has already been acquired
─ Step up in research spending & infra at leading educational institutions
─ Etc

- BUDGET 2018-19
RISE : revitalisation of infra and systems in education
RISE scheme gives Rs 1lakh cr over 4yrs
▬ Revitalise school infra
▬ 24 medical colleges (in situ district hospitals) across the country (spread evenly as 1:3 of 543 constituencies)
○ District hospitals better than AIIMS-------------------------------------------
AIIMS represents the best in medical education, treatment and care. Delhi AIIMS treats 10000 patients, many from neighbouring states. Govt has sanctioned 14 new AIIMS since 2013-14 to decongest. These AIIMS are struggling to fill teaching and non-teaching staff. Upgrading district hospitals sited close to needy people, is great as they are amenable to rapid facilities & capacity building. It gives local doctors the opportunity to specialise and this helps to fill staffing requirements.
▬ Tribal residential schools: in blocks with 20,000 ST & 50% total pop
▬ Rail university at Vodadara
▬ 18 new pre-schools for IITs and NITs
▬ 1000 pa fellowships to IIT & IISc, for bright BTech students
▬ Digital & technology drive in classrooms
▬ Teacher training programme
○ Integrated B.Ed
○ Diksha portal to digitally upgrade teacher skills
○ Pre-service training & in-service learning
Last year's Budget
♦ New IITs — 3000cr--------------------
6 new IITs will come up in temporary premises at Rs 7000cr over 3yrs. The land has already been procured. States are cooperating. A further Rs13,000 cr will be spent on establishing a permanent status for IITs.

♦ IIM Bill in 2017
“IIMs selected on accreditation and ranking will be given autonomous status. Greater freedom in administrative and academic choices should improve quality."REPLY 33w REPLY 33w REPLY 32w REPLY 31w REPLY 30w
