ORDER:
The Commissioner of School Education, AP, Hyderabad
in the reference 3rd and 4th read above has informed that
School Education Department constituted a Working Group to study and report on
the Teacher – Pupil Ratio and modalities for Resource Redistribution
Rationalization (RR-R) of Schools and Teachers working in Primary (Govt./MPP)
in the State.
2. The Working Group examined (a) the Aadhar
Mapped U-DISE and Child Information Data (b) children yet to be enrolled in new
academic year (c) No. of Schools (d) No. of Teachers (e) No. of Gram
Panchayats, (f) Schools in each Gram Panchayat (g) the scope of positive
consolidation of the schools within the Gram Panchayat were the enrollment is
less than 30 in each school (h) availability of Schools within 1 Km radius in
respect of Primary Schools, 3 KM radius in respect of Upper Primary Schools, 5
Kms radius in respect of High Schools/Success Schools, (i) the scope for
Resource Redistribution – Rationalization in
terms of infrastructure and human resources etc.
3. The
Working Group also took into consideration the performance of Andhra Pradesh in
terms of Key Education Indicators, Key Findings relating to the learning levels
of students in Government schools in the State as per the National level Annual
Status of Education Report 2014 (ASER) and State Level Achievement Survey
2014-15 (SLAS).
4. The Working
Group noted that while the Teacher – Pupil Ratio (TPR) at the State and
district level is higher than the national average, at the School level it
needs to be improved. Further, it found that there are some schools with higher
student strength vis-à-vis the sanctioned teaching posts and on the other hand
some schools with uneconomic strength of students have more teachers.
5. The
Working Group also noted that there are several Primary Schools within a radius
of 1 Km with less than 30 enrollment and with more than 30 enrollment. The
Working Group recommended that positive consolidation of such Schools and
staff/posts in these schools may be done by pooling them to develop as a Model
Primary Schools in the Gram Panchayat / Municipality. Such Resource
Redistribution – Rationalization help in making best use of the available
resources – infrastructure, teachers, etc. It will make it possible for ensuing
one Teacher for one Class and minimize multi grade teaching by single teacher
which is resulting in poor learning levels.
