School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) follows pattern of 10+2+3. It means ten years of school education ( primary and secondary ), two years of intermediate or pre-university education and three years of university education. Ten years of schooling is basis for selection of higher education in India.Ten years of schooling means ten standards or ten class or ten levels in schooling. At standard ten (Class tenth), a public examination is conducted by secondary education board to asses the students of whole state. The marks obtained in this examination forms basis for entry into higher examination. Hence it is first important examination of student. The Kerala state secondary education board conducts public examination at the end of class ten or standard ten. Student studying in schools affilated to this board are required to pass this examination to get SSLC certificate. This certificate indicates marks obtained by student in each subject studied, his date of birth and school in which he or she studied. SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) is an important document in one's life. Later the students go to Higher Secondary or Pre-University.
SSA:Education mission is decades away from making a meaningful impact
Almost a decade after the launch of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the achievement on universalising elementary education is best described as mixed. Massive spending by the Centre and states on setting up new schools and hiring an army of teachers across the country has ensured enrolment of children in schools has risen across rural India. Just about 4% of children in the age group 6-14 are now estimated not to be attending school, according to an all-India survey by non-governmental organisation Pratham in its Annual Status of Education Report (ASER).
Inability to read correctly at younger age essentially means poor learning outcomes. These children would possibly grow up with impaired ability to read and comprehend text, as the foundation of a child’s learning are built in the primary classes.
Another noticeable finding of the survey was the shifting preference for private school education in rural areas. While there is a small drop in all-India average for private school enrolment, from 22.6% in 2008 to 21.8% in 2009, there was a rise in many states. In Kerala, for instance, more than half the 6-14 year olds attend private school, up from 46.8% in 2006, when Pratham started monitoring outcomes.
800 varsities, 35,000 colleges needed in next 10 years: Sibal
India will need at least 800 more universities and another 35,000 colleges in the next 10 years to increase the percentage of students going for higher education from the present 12.4% in the country, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said.
"India has about 480 university and about 22,000 colleges. If we were to increase that figure of 12% to 30%, we will need another 800 to a thousand universities in the next ten years. We will need another 35,000 colleges in the next ten years...we are still below 40% which I think is critical," he said.
Highlighting the importance of human resource development, Sibal said, "When the global economy is doing well and the stock market is in the up swing, the developed nations share their prosperity with us." But it is not the case when global economy is not doing well and the stock market is on decline, he said.
Sibal said the energy of a nation ultimately depends on its youth. "The energy of a nation does not depend on parliamentarians who are over 60 years," he said.
SSA:Education mission is decades away from making a meaningful impact
Almost a decade after the launch of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the achievement on universalising elementary education is best described as mixed. Massive spending by the Centre and states on setting up new schools and hiring an army of teachers across the country has ensured enrolment of children in schools has risen across rural India. Just about 4% of children in the age group 6-14 are now estimated not to be attending school, according to an all-India survey by non-governmental organisation Pratham in its Annual Status of Education Report (ASER).On a given day, the average attendance rate seems to be around 74% at the all-India level. The numbers, quite naturally, vary from state to state. In Kerala, for instance, only 0.1% of the children in this age group are out of school whereas in states such as Andhra Pradesh, it is 6.2%.
The desired objectives of providing quality elementary education for all children in a mission mode by 2010 — the objective of SSA — cannot be met in any case. Worse, the quality of learning not only lags that of the urban counterparts but, in many instances, is poor. What this means is that spending of crores of taxpayer money, with the objective of creating an educated, employable workforce, for most part may remain a fruitless exercise.
In this context, the findings of Pratham throw up some disturbing facts. Nearly 50% of children in class V cannot read the text for class II without making a mistake. Significantly, students attending private schools in rural areas do not always display superior abilities, and if they do, it has less to do with the quality of teaching in the schools but more with host of factors that are external to the school such as the socio-economic environment in which the child grows up.
Inability to read correctly at younger age essentially means poor learning outcomes. These children would possibly grow up with impaired ability to read and comprehend text, as the foundation of a child’s learning are built in the primary classes.Another worrying feature of the Pratham’s annual household survey is that the learning outcomes seem to have deteriorated from 2008 to 2009. At the all-India level, the percentage of all rural children in class V who are able to read class II text declined from 56.2% to 52.8%.
But what’s more distressing is that parents of many children are unaware of the poor progress made by their wards in school — many assume that their responsibility for educating their children ends with sending them to school. But it is not always the parents can be blamed — many have never been to school and, therefore, are unable to provide the child additional learning support at home. Conversely, where a child has an educated parent, and particularly where the mother is literate, her learning was seen to be better irrespective of whether she was attending a government or a private school.
Another noticeable finding of the survey was the shifting preference for private school education in rural areas. While there is a small drop in all-India average for private school enrolment, from 22.6% in 2008 to 21.8% in 2009, there was a rise in many states. In Kerala, for instance, more than half the 6-14 year olds attend private school, up from 46.8% in 2006, when Pratham started monitoring outcomes.Parents in rural areas, much like those in urban areas, perceive that private schools provide a better education, Pratham found. Overall, teacher attendance is much better in private schools and these schools often give instruction in English, and that proves to be an attraction.
To improve the success of a programme such as SSA and make the Right to Education more effective, the focus has to shift to outcome. While enrolment is important, attendance at school for both pupils and teachers is equally critical. So would be improving quality of teaching — students should come out of school with good ability to read and comprehend text and solve mathematical problems.
