With a dramatic growth in elementary education enrolments and improvements in retention and transition rates in recent years, particularly amongst the more disadvantaged groups, there is an increasing pressure on the secondary schools to admit more students. With the enforcement of RTE Act and further improvement in retention and transition rates, demand for secondary schooling will grow rapidly in the coming years. The objective of this discussion group is to assess to what extent we have made quality education available, accessible and affordable to the target population in the age group of 14–18 years. How we can increase access to post elementary education across the country in a manner so as to ensure no child is denied the opportunity of completing his/her school education. In particular, how can we address the geographical and social disparities in secondary education?

Education system needs to move away from rote learning. School education should focus on reading and writing in any language till 5th standard. Post that the focus should be based on giving skills which will get them employment instead of putting pressure on every child to pass 10th standard or 12th std, which some of them may not be able to do. Secondly, Why has education become synonym to learning English language?

There is no continuation of learning because the concepts are not cleared at each level. It is like teaching from 1 to 100 in class one. 101 to 200 in class 2 and so on. One child may know only 30 numbers and one may remember till 100 but in class 2 all of them are expected to learn from 101 irrespective of how much they know. This creates gaps in learning. The education should be continuous. Each year they should start from the point where they have left previous year continuity should be there

Primary, Middle and Secondary School education should have check points and diagnostic assessments. A students who passes Any class is assumed to have complete knowledge for that grade but it is not true. A student who scores 40% as well as the one who scores 95% is taught on the same lines in the next class. Even the teachers are different for different classes so the possibility of how much the teacher knows about the child is very less. There is no provision for differentiated learning.

In the present system schools make a lot of money and teachers in the private sector have no job security. For 13 years I worked in India without any benefits. The Government teachers are payed very high with no accountability and private school teachers are paid very low with lot of responsibilities and no job security. If lives of teachers improve then only the system will improve. the law should be such as to make a parity between the pay of teachers in public and private sectors.

I worked with CBSE, Chhattisgarh Board, IGCSE, IBDP, and National Curriculum England am acquainted with the modern methods of teaching and learning. I started as a small teacher way back in 2000 in chattisgarh as a primary teacher for just 1600 rs without any pf or benefits. Given the scope I am willing to work closely with the education system to make changes and improve performance. Currently I am in Rome working with an IB school.I have seen how the diagnostic systems work and data analysed

Effective monitoring system should be developed and Teacher Certification should have a validity and teachers need to undergo trainings at regular intervals of time. How a teacher studied in 1980 cope with the modern education system. Many teachers blame technology for spoiling the children because the teachers themselves do not know how to use the technology. Syllabus and topics for each subject need to upgraded and new subjects need to be introduced. Every 5 years they should be reviewed.

I agree that India is the largest consumer of knowledge,. Indian Schools do not promote thinking or creativity. CCE has done the damage.. schools worry a lot about documentation..performance percentage is higher even when the students do not study. CCE should be scrapped. Concepts like Academic Honesty and Plagiarism should be introduced and students should be encouraged to think and answer on their own instead of rot memory. Exams should focus on checking their knowledge rather than memory.

In last 5 yrs I found that quality of students is geting low, because of the policy of last government that is "the student should be promoted till 10 standard". If a student don't know the elementary skills then how it will cope up with the students of out of India.

CCE has has encouraged the students not to study subjects deeply because they know that there are other parameters in the system ,through they can easily pass the examination under CCE. Pen- paper test bearing is hardly 25-30%. This is detrimental to the future of students. Cce should be removed immediately.

In RTE,all students from class 1 to 8 are promoted to next class irrespective of their score in exams.With very weak basic knowledge they go on failing from class 9 &onwards. This system needs immediate change. Student's to be promoted only if they pass fairly the final exam. Literacy should not be combined with quality education in any case. Sanctity of Basic Education should not be spoiled otherwise cases of mass copying like that which was seen in Bihar this year ,will increase.
