MODEL REPORT FOR A DISTRICT-BASED MODERN HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL WITH PRE-SCHOOLING FACILITIES

1. Background Education is today identified among basic needs, as essential for an individuals survival as food, clothing and shelter. The need for education has been recognized in all parts of the country and among all sections of society. Education brings success and success translates into social recognition. Though we have developed well in higher education system, a limited infrastructure facility is there in most of the educational institutions. From the first Five Year Plan onwards India's emphasis was to develop a pool of scientifically inclined manpower. India's National Policy on Education (NPE) provisioned for an apex body for regulation and development of higher technical education, which came into being as the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in 1987 through an act of the Indian parliament. The statutory All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was established for proper planning & co-coordinated development of technical education system through out the country. The Indian Institutes of Management are also among the nation's premier education facilities. Several Regional Engineering Colleges (REC) have been converted into National Institutes of Technology. The UGC has inter-university centres at a number of locations throughout India to promote common research, e.g. the Nuclear Science Centre at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. The quality of education of these institutes have managed to change the outlook of India so much that this ancient country which was earlier known for yoga and mediation is now known for computer engineers. However, it does not mean that the challenge of making technical education accessible to the rural populace and other under developed sections of the society has been overcome. The literacy level in India is the highest compared to anywhere else in the world. The reason for the growth of literacy is because of the umpteen numbers of various types of Colleges and Universities offering different kinds of education in various fields beginning from Medicine to Engineering to Astronomy and Forestry. India is, therefore, fast moving up the value chain in all aspects of scientific and financial research from software to medical to biomedics. The demand for professional courses is growing rapidly. 5

In India both public and private institutions operate simultaneously. It is also likely that most of the growth in the rapidly expanding higher education sector took place in private unaided college or in self-financing institutions. It is felt that as of now more than 50 per cent of the higher education in India is imparted through private institutions, mostly unaided. With the RTE being the priority of Govt. of India, the focus of the government is to reach out to the masses and at the same time improve the quality standards of the imparted education. West Bengal is striving for the betterment of its existing educational setup, not only in the urban areas but also spread it effectively to the rural areas as well. In line with this endeavour, the Govt. is encouraging private entities to come forward and create modern education setup to impart quality holistic education to the urban, semi-urban and rural population, thereby broadbasing the quality education to the masses that will complement the Government education system with a more holistic outreach of the education, irrespective of board of affiliation of the educational setup. In line with the policy of Government of India, the modern Higher Secondary Schools with preschooling facilities that may be proposed to be setup at the district level in PPP mode are presented in the following sections. 2. Assumptions: The project has been conceived keeping in mind the MHRD norms for Model Schools and relevant affiliation requirements of CBSE and is in line with the Kendriya Vidyalaya type requirements along with other additional features of advanced schooling. The following assumptions have been made regarding the facilities to be created, employment of teaching and non-teaching staffs and capacity utilization during the start-up phase (1st three years). i.
