1. G.O.Ms.No.20,
Section 29(1) of the Act, Clause (b) of sub section (1) of the Section. 12 of
the Act, School Education (PE.Prog.I) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh,
dated: 03.03.2011. Gazett No.10, Dated:05.03.2011.
2. Note
approval of the SPD Dt:10.04.2019.
In the reference
1st cited, the Govt.of Andhra Pradesh has assured free and compulsory education
for the children within the age group of 6-14 years and every child in the age
group 6-14 must be completed 8 years of elementary cycle education irrespective
of Gender, Caste, Region, Religion etc.,. The Govt. of A.P., have taken all
initiations in respect of free and compulsory education and established Primary
Schools for every 1KM radius, Upper Primary Schools in 3 KM radius and High
Schools in the radius 5 KMs in all habitations of State as per the RTE Act.
However, it is
noticed that very huge difference between school age children and in school
children and the remaining children are deemed to appear as out of school
children or never enrolled. It is also observed that different private
agencies, Govt. Departments and enrolment drives very often taken up by the
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and School Education Department etc., are projecting
various figures on OSC data and it is causing difficult to develop holistic
approach in the absence of sound data base of OoSC for the State. Hence it is
very much required to undertake an exhaustive "Special drive for
identification" of out of school children in the State.
In view of the
inconsistencies between various surveys, the State Project Director, SSA,
Amaravati is decided to conduct "Mana Badiki Podam" fortnight
programme to find out the actual gap between school age children and in school
children and to trace out the actual Out of School Children in collaboration
with other stake holder departments in the State.
The main aim of
the "Mana Badiki Podam" is for identification of OSC in the age group
of 6-14 years across the State and also to mainstream them into their age
appropriate class by giving large scope of provisions for which schooling
system they are suitable to continue their studies without any hurdles. The
following schooling facilities are to be recommended for various categories of
OSC.
- OSC
of slow learners, middle dropouts etc., during this academic year, sibling care
Non-Residential Special Training Centres (NRSTC)
- Never
Enrolled, Street Children, Rag Residential Special Training Pickers,
Semi-Orphans, Child labour, Centres(RSTC) Stone gatheringchildren,Children of
Broken families etc.,
- Seasonal
Migration children : Seasonal Hostel
- Urban
Deprived Children : URS 8v URHs.
- Neo
Dropouts : KGBV, Residential School, Regular Schools, Bhavitha/Non- Bhavitha
Centres.
Need & Importance of
the Survey
The main objective of the survey
is to maintain sound data base on OoSC and to mainstreaming all the school age
children under RTE Act including out of school children.
To prepare AWP&B and
Districts plans for the year 2019-2020.
Compliance to RTE Act 2009.
By way of conducting thorough
focussed group discussions/enquiries in the Habitations, Gram Panchayats /
Wards and by surveying the targeted households in order to arrive at a
comprehensive and reliable data on "Out of School Children". The
collected data will be effectively utilized for the ensuing AWP B and other
purposes also.
