EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING 11th PLAN- A STUDY OF

PATHANAMTHITTA DISTRICT PANCHAYAT

Sarva Shikha Abhiyan(SSA) is an integrated primary education program designed by the central govt. to be implemented from the academic year 2001-2002. The major objective of the SSA is to provide quality primary education to all the children between the ages of 6 to 14.

The education plan of 2007-2008 lays down the following measures and techniques to attain the ultimate goal of providing learning opportunities to all children. They are

Girls education ,

SC/ST education ,

IEDC(Integrated Education for Disabled Children ),

Ankanawadi/Pre primary school edn,

High school and Higher secondary education and

Continuing education.

When we consider the Girls education, there arises problems such as -young girls are prone to exploitation and violence , lack of confidence ,educational and psychological problems etc. Teachers and parents fail to solve these problems and also they are not aware of the after effects of these problems .Therefore scientific training programs must be provided to teachers.In high school section there arises problems like inadequate system to improve the ability of the students who are backward in there studies, less consideration to students who perform well in there studies , no hostel facilities for financially backward students and also lack of infrastucture makes govt. and aided less attractive .

The issues of the educational plan for the high school section includes the teaching programmes for teachers ,availabily of modern technologocal facilities to all students, financial help for the smooth movement of the new educaton system.

As we move on to the higher secondary section,the factors which worsely affect our educational system are inadequacy of learning materials , lack of basic facilities in schools which results in health problems,more importance given to IT subjects and less consideration to other subjects by parents and students,inability to make use of the benefits of IT edn completely and increasing criminal and self destructive tendency in students(value depreciation).

For the socially and financially backward students especially girls educational opportunities must be provided.This remains as an issue of higher secondary school education
