PREFACE

The quality of life depends on the quality of schooling one has had. Therefore ithas become our duty that we not only to provide our children free andcompulsory education but also ensure that they receive the best possibleeducation that we can provide. This would enable these children to be useful,contributing members of their society and their country.

Over the past several decades, both the public and education professionals havebeen vocal in their demands for new programs and practices in education.Simultaneously, these advocates have acknowledged that educators must cometo an intimate understanding of the process of change in order forimplementation to be successful and for the promises of new practices to berealized. During this period, an abundance of improvement processes wereintroduced to school practitioners in the hope that change would produce resultsin desired direction.

The School Development Plan is a plan, which provides continuousimprovement strategy that will empower the stakeholders to take ownership oftheir own development.

It is a guideline and not a set of rules to be followed slavishly. This planencourages creativity, collaboration and continuity. The plan is to be soorganized that it will promote an effective progressive and focused schoolcommunity.

It is the hope that the plan will cater to the needs of everyone within the schoolcommunity. The approach taken was holistic in that it embraced activities thatwill not only prioritize the academics but also the general areas in theschool. These areas are: a) attendance b) staff development c) infrastructure, d)parent education e) school community relations f) students’ self-esteem g)technology and work and h) health and nutrition.

The aim is to bring positive change not only to the school but also that of thecommunity to enhance students' performance in all domains for building abetter nation.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

While writing on School Development Plan for the appraisal of QualityRelated Interventions in AWP&B 2009-10, the following types of parameterswere identified for goal setting:

Students’ achievement level Learning difficulties in each subject Teaching learning methods Development and Use of TLMs Active student participation Continuous and comprehensive Assessment Community involvement in quality aspects School environment Teacher and student attendance, & regularity and punctuality Teachers’ performance against ADEPTS1 indicators

This was the beginning that the state began to think about School DevelopmentPlan and identified core parameters for the planning at school level though ithas missed the parameter like Minimum Enabling Conditions at school level.

As such, this booklet is the accomplishment of my four years’ dream to writesomething on school-community relationships. The main credit for it goes toRTE Act and its’ Section 22 which actually provided me the platform to writethis module in right time. Though I know this module may not cover many ofthe areas envisioned by the Act. On the other hand, there was limited scope ofexposure to literatures/programmes related to School Development Plan toreinforce my idea. Thus, this booklet is simply the result of my perceived ideaon School Development Plan and my experiences as a planner for the SarvaShiksha Abhiyan in the State for the last 9 years. Additionally, my interactionswith students, parents, PRIs, School Management Committees, teachers, schoolheads, CRC coordinators, etc. during my postings at Block and District leveloffices also contributed a lot in writing this module.

I should say that I intentionally made this module more like manual so thateveryone who reads this booklet would get basic idea of School DevelopmentPlan and planning at school level. Further, to train more than twelve thousandmembers of School Management Committee in one go is really difficult task in

1 ADEPTS is a Nation-wide programme. In 2007 & 2008, MHRD, Govt. of India and UNICEF conductedvarious consultation workshops in different parts of the country inviting educational administrators,educationists, college lecturers, teacher trainers and devised indicators for teachers’ and trainers’ performancestandards. The full form of ADEPTS is Advancement of Educational performance through Teachers’ Support.

Page 6: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

the state like ours where there is shortage of good trainers on the subject ofeducational planning. Further, I have not included any training plan/session planin this book. It is the liberty of trainer to prepare above as per theirrequirements.

However, for me this has become an important juncture where I am recollectingmy memories and revisiting the moments where I encountered with the peoplewho prompted me to think about school-community relationships in managing aschool and increase its efficiency. My gratitude remains due to those greatpeople of my life.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my SPD Smt. Mamta Thapawho allocated me the interventions dealing with school-communityrelationships which eventually insisted me to write this module.

This book would not have been written if I was not been posted to BlockAdministrative Centres or District Offices where I got the exposures to realschool situations. So I would like to express my gratitude to my senior officialsfor providing me the avenues to interact with School heads, teachers, PRImembers, parents, SMC members and students which urged me to contemplateon school-community relationships.

I would like to thank my officers and staff of all levels of offices of SarvaShiksha Abhiyan, for their supports and helps.

My gratitude also goes to friends who are my source of inspirations always andI know their inspirations will remain with me always.

The support of my family is equally important as this module has been writtenduring government holidays or non-office time.

Lastly, I would be grateful, rather enriched to all the sensible readers who willpoint out my mistakes in this booklet and give suggestions for its furtherimprovement.

Chapter I

Eleven Questions to Author about SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Question – 1: What is School Development Plan and who prepares this?

Answer: The concept of School Development Plan is not new in the State asemergence of school education in Sikkim in 19th Century followed the samepattern of planning for individual school by the then School Committee. Firstthe numbers of children in the school neighbourhood were counted and masterwas appointed. Estimation of requirement of straws for thatch, woods for polesand pillars and bamboos for partition was done by the school committee andaccordingly the materials and man power were collected from the communitiesto erect school building in the centrally located areas of the village. So theschools which were established in earlier days in Sikkim (if not shifted later on)are found properly mapped. The present concept of School Development Plancan be said as the reformed form of School Development Plan which ourforefathers had started in Sikkim. Therefore, in short, we can say that SchoolDevelopment Plan is a document with a list of activities prepared by a schoolon the basis of its ‘at hand status’ which are to be conducted in future toachieve the targeted objectives in targeted timeframe (short term or long term)with appropriate strategies and plan of actions.

School Management Committee prepares this plan every year.

Question – 2: Who are the members of School Management Committeeand what is its tenure?

Answer: As per RTE Act, the School Management Committee at elementarylevel consists of the elected representative of the local authority, parents orguardians of the children admitted in the school and teachers. The sharing of thecomposition will be as under:

In Sikkim, we have two levels of school – (a) Primary Level wherein weteach Class I to Class VIII and (b) Secondary Level wherein Class IX toClass XII are taught. Primary Level is also known as Elementary Level. Wewill discuss the process of preparation of plan for Primary Level only inthis booklet.

Page 11: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

a) 75% parents or guardians of the children admitted in the school (parentsor guardians of children belonging to disadvantaged group or weakersection of the society are to be given proportionate representation in theCommittee)

b) 25% representatives of teachers, panchayat and senior citizen of thesociety

c) 50% members of the Committee should be women

This means that there should be minimum 12 (twelve) members in SchoolManagement Committee which will at least accommodates school head,teacher and local authority/community leader as mentioned in column (3) of thetable below. The compositions and proportions of School ManagementCommittees as per the mandate of RTE Act is given below for an example –

No. of Membersin SMC

16 members 12 04 08

20 members 15 05 10

24 members 18 06 12

28 members 21 07 14

.. .. .. ..

The patterns of compositions of School Management Committee go like this.However, the size of the School Management Committee should be such that tosupport the development of the school on its fullest possible ways and means.

Page 12: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Furthermore, RTE Act recognizes the School Management Committee consistof the members selected by the elected representative of the local authority,parents or guardians of the children admitted in the school and teachers in aboveproportion. The School Management Committee constituted by school head andteachers without consulting the stakeholders prescribed under the Act may notconsider recognized.

The Chairman of the Committee should be a parent or guardian and the schoolHead acts as Ex-officio Convenor of the Committee.

The committee reshuffles once in two years (bi-annual reshuffling) inconsultation with the local authority, parents or guardians of the childrenadmitted in the school and teachers of that school.

Question – 3: Why is it necessary to prepare School Development Plan?

Answer: Sub-section 1 & 2 of Section 22 of RTE Act, 2009 which came intoforce on 1st April 2010, has mandated that every School Managing Committeemust prepare School Development Plan.

The Model Rules under the Right of Children to Free and CompulsoryEducation Act, 2009 specify following purpose of preparing SchoolDevelopment Plan:

1. The School Management Committee shall prepare a School DevelopmentPlan at least three months before the end of the financial year in which itis first constituted under the Act.

2. The School Development Plan shall be a three year plan comprisingthree annual sub-plans

3. The School Development Plan, shall contains the following details –(a)Estimates of class-wise enrolment for each year;(b)Requirement, over the three year period, of the number of

additional teachers, including Head Teachers, subject teachers andpart time teachers, separately for Classes I to V and Classes VI toVIII, calculated, with reference to the norms specified in theSchedule;

(c) Physical requirement of additional infrastructure and equipmentsover the three year period, calculated, with reference to the normsand standards specified in the Schedule.

Page 13: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

(d)Additional financial requirement over the three year period, year-wise, in respect of (b) and (c) above, including additionalrequirement for providing special training facility specified insection 4, entitlements of children such as free text books anduniforms, and any other additional financial requirement forfulfilling the responsibilities of the school under the Act.

4. The School Development Plan should be signed by the Chairperson/ViceChairperson and Convenor of the School Management Committee andsubmitted to the local authority before the end of the financial year inwhich it is to be prepared.

The Model Rules has been formulated to help operationalize the Act. Thereason of specifying the preparation of School Development Plan taking 3 yearperspectives is to enable the States to fulfill all the provisions guaranteed byRTE Act within three years.

Moreover the preparation of School Development Plan facilitates the SchoolManagement Committee to be specific about their requirements and targets towork for the school. Planning also helps them to identify the problems beingfaced by the schools.

Question – 4: What should be the Objectives of School Development Plan?

Answer: Broadly, the objectives of preparing School Development Plan are asunder:

1. To ensure universal enrolment, retention, Quality and completion ofelementary cycle at appropriate age.

2. To ensure child-friendly, barrier free, safe and attractive schoolenvironment for pedagogical processes

3. To ensure Special Training to Out of School Children of schoolneighbourhood to put them in the age appropriate class

4. To ensure physical infrastructure along with all weather school buildings5. To ensure higher order learning in children with holistic development6. To ensure community and civil society partnership in all developmental

activities of the school

Page 14: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Question – 5: What is School Neighbourhood?

Answer: School Neighbourhood is nothing but the service area of a schoolwhich is to be in the distance of comfortable and safe walking distance for achild from his house to school considering all natural barriers. This is not theimaginary aerial walking distance. The ‘comfortable and safe walking distance’for the children attending primary school is 1 kilometer and for upper primary 3kilometer. The following sketch is school neighbourhood of ‘X’ Primary school.

Question – 6: How do we know the area/boundary of schoolneighbourhood?

Answer: Earmarking of school neighbourhood is very important and falls underthe mandates of RTE Act. It should be done by the BRC Coordinators and BACLevel Assistant Directors in the supervision of the Joint Director, DistrictHRRDD Office. Since we don’t have problem of boundary of jurisdiction ofBRCs, we have to go for earmarking the boundary of jurisdiction of ClusterResource Centre taking landmark like river, land ridges, trees, boulder, road,etc. After that the boundaries of the schools falling under that cluster are to beearmarked on the basis of accessibility of individual school for the children (i.e.1 km walking distance from household to school in case of primary and 3 km in

Page 15: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

case of Upper primary). The diagram below shows an example of schoolneighbourhood area:

The dotted line shows school neighbourhood area of Dugalakha JHS.

Sometimes it happens that some households may remain outside schoolneighbourhood on 1 km or 3 km walking distance norms as mentioned aboveand there is no other school in surrounding of those households which is nearerthan this school. The children of 6 to 14 year age group of such householdsshould be recorded separately and if the number of such children is 10 or morethan that, an alternative school (an EGS Centre) can be opened in such place.

Question – 7: How to prepare School Development Plan?

Answer: Preparation of School Development Plan involves following threemajor steps (A, B & C):

A. Status Assessment – Diagnostic Activities and listing of ProblemsFirstly, the School Managing Committee conducts household survey ofthe school neighbourhood to record the status of age-wise childrenpopulation in the age group of 5 to 14 years, listing of Out of schoolChildren within the population of 6 to 14 years in age-wise and academiclevel-wise basis (updation of Village Education Register if available in

Page 16: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

the school). Prepare VER if not available in the school. (Every have tomaintain Village Education Register wherein record of children of everyhousehold is recorded)

Secondly, School Managing Committee conducts institutional survey ofthe school and record all the information related to infrastructure andinfrastructure requiring repairs, Teaching learning Equipment, childrenachievements, students’ enrolment, teacher availability, attendance statusof children and teachers.

Thirdly, assessment of the available status of school in respect of allaspects collected as above and identification of problems related to allassessed aspects. Suppose while doing assessment, it is found that theschool has 100 students in primary classes and 2 teachers. This showsthat there is the issue of teacher shortage. In the same way, 50% childrenacquired ‘E’ grade in last examination. This shows that the classroomteaching or skill development activities in school are poor. It has twoproblems (i) Shortage of teachers and (ii) Teachers are not skilled withbetter pedagogical practices. Accordingly, the list of problems identifiedmay be like this:

a. School has common toilet but there is no separate toilet for girls.b. 20% children remain absent in the school per day.c. Shortage of two teachersd. 50% children scored ‘E’ gradee. 10 children out of 120 children in the age group of 6 to 14 years are

out of school, etc.

B. Prioritization of ProblemsFirstly, the problems identified during diagnostic activities are to beprioritized on the basis of its gravity. For example (as per aboveexample):

a. Shortage of two teachersb. In average 20% children remain absent in the school per dayc. 10 (ten) children in the age group of 6 to 14 years are out of schoold. 50% children scored ‘E’ gradee. School has common toilet but there is no separate toilet for girls, etc.

Page 17: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Secondly, segregation of problems in terms of its solution level like SMCcannot afford to construct new classroom so its proposal should beforwarded to Cluster Resource Centre and improvement students’attendance can be solved at school level.

Now, we have to convert the problems/problems into desiredoutcomes/goals which are to be achieved at the end of the year as in thefollowing table:

5 School has common toilet butthere is no separate toilet forgirls

Placedemand inhigher level

C. Devising Actions/Steps to achieve Desired outcomes/Goals and Cost.The detailing of the problems and converting it into goals, automaticallyindicates the general idea of achieving the set goals. But every goal hasseries of relevant action points which lead to its achievement. Many ofthe bigger plans fail because of ignoring this step. So this step has beenconsidered significant while preparing a plan.

Page 18: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Example:

To solve the issue of shortage of teachers in the school, the SMC mayrepresent Cluster Office/Block Office/District Office. As such the Actionscan be –

First step: Representation by School Management Committee toCluster Resource Coordinator to demand teachers, if not solved

Second Step: School Management Committee conducts a meeting andengage volunteer teacher from among the educated unemployed youthsof the village till the teachers join school,

Third Step: They make representation to Block Resource Coordinatorto demand teachers, if not solved,

Fourth Step: They make representation to District Office to demandteachers and so on.

But it is important to decide by the School Management Committee thathow long SMC waits in one step for fulfilment of its demands. The fixingduration/timeline should be on the basis of the seriousness of demands.School management Committee have to follow the timeline strictly. Itmay also add more steps above, upto Fourth, fifth steps.

2 To ensure 100%attendance of thechildren in theschool

Step-1: Reconsider thereasons of absence ofchildren as per thefindings of the surveyconducted

Step-2: (for example, ifyour finding is ‘childrenthink school is notinteresting’) Conduct ameeting of SchoolManagement Committeeand invite an expert ofschool environmentmanagement and apedagogue. Place yourproblem and ask them toreact, then make furtherplan to ahead or you mayinvite an educationalplanner along with themwho will suggest furtherplanning.

Step-3: Constitute anEminent Mother Groupto monitor children’sattendance

(and so on)

Mobilize mothers of thechildren, panchayats andlocal NGOs to work onit.

The SMC members whooften wander village dueto his occupation mayalso be of great use totrack children’sabsenteeism.

Discuss the points like

a. How to make schoolenvironmentwelcoming tochildren?

b. What type ofteaching learningprocesses can attractchildren to school?Etc.

(Blindly forcing them tocome to school may leadto any mishaps – besensitive towardschildren. Explore whatthey want.)

Step-3: Then admit themin the nearest SpecialTraining Centre.

Step-4: Track them in theSpecial Training Centrealso and bring them toschool after above centreprovides desiredcertificate.

(and so on)

Most of the out of schoolchildren are the Childrenwith Special Needs(special children) andtheir parents do not wantto expose their childrenin the society and manyof them feel ashamed tolet other know his/herchild is special.

If the problem is severe,approach Clusterresource Coordinator/Block ResourceCoordinator or SSAoffice and request for theconduct of mobilization/motivation camps. SSAcan conduct suchprogramme in yourvillage if you havegenuine problem.

Lastly, all the actions and steps are to be converted into estimated cost.However, it is to note here that every action should be cost effective.

Question – 8: How many Chapters supposed to be there in SchoolDevelopment Plan?

Answer: Broadly there would be Five Chapters in School Development Plan:

1. Chapter – One : General Information about School e.g. name of school,year of establishment, location of the school, distance from cluster, blockoffice, District office, area of school neighbourhood, number ofhouseholds, total population, children population in schoolneighbourhood, literacy of the people residing in school neighbourhood,etc.

2. Chapter – Two : Present Status of the school and school neighbourhoode.g. number of teachers available in the school, student enrolment,number of building blocks, toilets, separate girls’ toilet, drinking waterconnection, electricity connection, playground, number of classroomsavailable, condition of classrooms and other rooms, how much parentsare involved in school activities by school, regularity and punctuality ofteachers’ and students’, availability of teaching learningmaterials/equipment, games materials, number of out of school children,students’ performance, etc.

3. Chapter – Three : Analysis of Progress achieved in last year’s plantargets OR progress achieved as per the fund invested in the school,(grants received and utilized). This chapter also includes the list ofactivities conducted last year and the activity-wise expenditure incurredin conducting activities. List of assets created also need to be includedhere.

Long Term Planning

The discussion we did in the above section is for the annual plan only. Let usdiscuss about Long Term Planning as well. The planning on long termperspectives includes the planning of such areas which require more than oneyear for its achievements. The following areas may be taken as the areas forlong term planning:

Future expansion of the school in case of increase in the enrolment or up-gradation of school to higher level.

Provision of barrier free environment in the school Enhancement of achievement level of children, etc.

As an example of ‘Future expansion of the school’, the school has to prepareschool layout map of the school as under:

The above sketch shows the School Campus Layout Map of a primary school ofhilly terrain wherein a site for future expansion is exclusively set aside. In thesame way, the school may also plan for the wasteland lying in the schoolcampus like construction open amphitheater, children friendly structures, flowergarden, campus plantation, etc.

The sketch prepare above is not the actual School Campus Layout Map. In fact,this type of map is to be prepared by the engineers. The School Campus Layout

Page 28: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Map of Assangthang Junior High School, South District, is given in the next assample.

Page 29: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

School Campus Layout Plan of Assangthang Junior High School, South Sikkim

Page 30: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

For the construction of new school building in the hilly terrain, the design of thebuilding has to be prepared on the basis of the landscape and nature of soil inthe construction site. The provisions of barrier-free elements like ramps,handrails, grab rails, etc. and the BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) elements areto be included in the design itself. The sketch below shows the ramps withhandrail which is one of the main components of Barrier-free environment of aschool.

The school building should focus the following four areas:

1. A warm and encouraging atmosphere in the schoolThe dull looking school buildings and classrooms infrastructure cannotprovide a warm and encouraging atmosphere for the children in the school.It is seen in many of the schools of Sikkim that the structures were maderandomly without considering the future requirements of land and scope ofexpansion. This has resulted in the unorganized dispersal of structures in theschool campus giving dull and boring looks. As such, a warm andencouraging atmosphere in the school may be ensured by doing following:

a. The plan of the school building should be as per the construction sitewhich can tune with the landscape and gives beauty

Page 31: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

b. Designing school building in such a way to make it well ventilated,lighted (natural light) and having thermal comfort so that the childrenmay not feel annoyed of coming to school.

c. Architectural design of the school should be such that the paintingscan be done with various colours (not dull and monotonous colours)

d. Classroom mural/ceiling painting should be painted in differentcolours in such a way to make them attractive for children and usefulfor pedagogical purpose

e. The height of the chalkboards is to be accessible to childrenf. School Layout Plan should provide appropriate site for campus

plantation (trees, shrubs, herbs) which can serve both as sheds andbeautification of the school. The layout plan should also provideappropriate site for horticulture/agriculture (like weak/landslide proneside in hilly terrain if any; which cannot be used for constructingbuildings) in case the school has such land.

2. Learning through activity, discovery, dialogue and exploration [Increasedvisibility of active learning]Learning through activity, discovery, dialogue and exploration may beensured in a school by introducing BaLA2 components. The availability ofABL3 friendly furniture in the classroom, standard classroom space for 40children in primary classes and 35 children in upper primary classes that canfacilitate to conduct activities making at least five groups (8X5 for primaryand 7X5 for upper primary), design on the floor, if possible room shapesmay be made pentagonal and hexagonal rather than monotonouslyrectangular, etc. will definitely provide scope for active learning in theclasses. If the school area permits and providing multi-purpose hall for theschool is impossible, an open amphitheater should be made in the schoolcampus.

3. More inclusive classroom participation (visible and continuous reductionin discriminatory classroom practices classroom – identify these, and thenwork on them)Providing barrier-free environment in the school is one of the main optionsto make inclusive classroom participation and enhance inclusive activities in

2 Building as Learning Aid – School Building has to be made in such a way that the building acts as learningresource for children. Various designs of BaLA are available in the State and District HRDD offices.3 Activity Based Learning – learning through activities, not merely sitting on the bench idly and listeningteacher’s lecture.

Page 32: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

teaching learning process. Here the inclusion also includes the socialinclusion which does not have relevance under Civil Works. As such thebarrier-free in this case will be only the physical barrier. Inclusive classroomparticipation would be possible by following way:

a. Taking steps with low heights in the stairs – colour contrasting/slip-resistant

b. Grab rails on both sides of the stairsc. Colour contrasting/slip-resistant ramps with handrails with standard

length-height ratiod. Be free of sharp or abrasive elementse. Be colour-contrasted from the adjacent wall surfacef. Barrier-free facilities in toilets, urinals and drinking water hydrant

with grab bars and standard interior and front area,g. The plan of the school building incorporates all the barrier-free

components, etc.

4. Focus on higher order learning with objectives and construction of childknowledge, potential & talent.Including the barrier-free components as mentioned above, the plan andestimate should also incorporate the provision of various designs related tocontents of the textbooks which are to be drawn on the walls, floors, doors,windows and columns etc. that encourage or prompt knowledgeconstruction among children.

It would be better if the Whole School Development Plan is prepared forindividual school considering its measured layout area and projectedchildren’s participation rates in that school.

Planning, Implementation and Monitoring

Planning

School Managing Committee convenes a planning meeting of parents, teachersand panchayats and local people in the month of September and deliberates forthe updation of the available school neighbourhood data.

School Management Committee segregates the problems which are to be solvedin the plan period and prioritizes them as per the importance of the problem inthe same meeting. Accordingly the meeting converts the problems into desiredoutcomes/goals and devises the actions/steps to achieve the same (See theanswer of Question 5 above). After finalization of the plan for the year, thecommittee submits it to their respective Cluster Resource Centre.

Implementation

This step includes all the planned activities conducted to achieve the desiredoutcomes/goals. As such, School Management Committee actually startsworking as per the devised actions/steps to solve the prioritized problemsincluded in the plan. School Management Committee during its meetingconstitutes sub-committees to implement various planned activities with clearinstructions.

Monitoring and Review Meetings

School Management Committee convenes periodical meetings sub-committeesto review the progress of the implemented activities. Sometimes the committeeneeds to devise alternative actions/steps if they feel that the previous strategiesmay not suffice to achieve the targeted goals. The committee also needs toanalyze the planned areas which are lagging behind and reconsider thestrategies to speed up the process.

Page 38: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

School Management Committee should meet once in a month and there shouldbe quarterly review meeting with sub-committees wherein the sub-committeeswill submit their quarterly progress report. School Management Committee alsohas to conduct parent-teacher meeting two times every year to apprise them theprogress achieved against the plan targets for both physical and financialachievements. This meeting should be after Summative Assessment – I and IIso that the meetings can also discuss about the achievements of the children inthe school. In every meeting, School Management Committee has to maintainrecords the progress in every meeting in the minutes register.

Cash prizes- This is the money received by the school from Ministers,

MLAs, MPs, PRIs, govt. officials, community as personaldonations and the cash prizes for school’s/students’performances

Note: The rate given above under Serial number 1 to 5 is the present rate of the department.

School Grant: This grant is given on the basis of the level i.e. Primary Leveland Upper Primary Level. As given above `5000/- Primary Level and `7000/-for upper primary level. So the school having both the levels will get `12000/-.The School Grant is meant for the replacement of timeworn materials like file-board cover, registers, etc. Since the above materials may not be replace everyyear and Stationary Grant is also there to supplement the requirements, the grantmay be used for the construction of almirah for children’s library, purchasingpetty laboratory consumables for teaching science up to upper primary levels.

Maintenance Grant: Maintenance Grant is given on the basis of the roomsavailable in the school. It is anticipated that the schools having more roomsneed more fund for repair. This grant is meant for minor repairs like repairing ofwindow panes, desk, benches, chairs, tables, blackboards, almirah, etc. Sincethis grant also an annual grant for the school, the fund allocated under this maybe used for the development of child-friendly or learning-friendly environmentin the school campus if repair works is less in the school.

Teacher Grant: Teacher Grant is given on per teacher basis and the number ofteachers available in the school on the basis of the entitlement as per RTE Act.This grant is meant for the preparation of low cost Teaching Learning Materialsfrom the locally available materials. This grant can also be used for buying chartpapers, sketch pen, markers, etc. to conduct stimulating teaching learning in theclassroom.

Stationary Grant: Stationary Grant is given on the basis of the category ofschools, not on the basis of the levels available in the schools like school grant.School category means the primary school, junior high school, secondary school

Page 41: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

and senior secondary school. As mention in the table above, it is given a lump-sum amount on the basis of school category. This grant is especially meant forthe purchase of office stationaries and other consumables.

Ancillary Grant: Ancillary Grant is given to school on the basis of the level-wise number of children available in the school in previous year. This grant isfor the purchase of various materials for the assessment of students’achievements like papers, pencils, pen, ink, or the materials required forconducting such assessment activities.

Donations/ Cash Prizes: This is the money received by the school fromMinisters, MLAs, MPs, PRIs, govt. officials, community as personal donationsand the cash prizes for school’s/students’ performances [School cannot imposeany fees to children]. Mostly it is found that the schools hardly keep theaccounts of the money received by the schools as donations and prizes.However, the money received by the school, whatever may be the source, ispublic money. Therefore, the school has to maintain the accounts of the moneyreceived by the school as donations and cash prizes. The money received fromthese sources may be used for educational excursions of students; excursions ofteachers to the schools which have excelled innovatively in school managementor pedagogical processes, for the procurement of musical instruments/costumes, tape recorder, radio, etc.

Accounts keeping: Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan emphasizes transparent accountskeeping at every management level. The accounts of every grant is bemaintained in separate register and keep in a file along with respective vouchersand cash memos. Therefore, there should be six registers and six board coversfor accounts keeping of above mentioned grants.

The School Management Committee has to maintain transparency in keepingthe accounts. The details of receipt and expenditure are to be placed in quarterlymeetings of School Management Committee and in the parent meetings. ADisplay Board showing monthly receipt and expenditure is to be fixed in thewall of the school verandah in such place where it can be easily visible tocommon public. The sample DISPLAY BOARD is given below.

In the same way, School Management Committee has to prepare registers forMaintenance Grant, Teacher Grant, Stationary and Ancillary Grants. Anotherimportant thing that School Managing Committee must not forget is thesubmission of Utilization Certificate at the end of every Financial Year i.e. endMarch every year. The format for the submission of Utilization Certificate is asunder:

Note: The SMC Secretary is the Ex-officio Member Convenor i.e. School Head

Very often, it is heard that the School Management Committee is asked tosubmit the cash memos and vouchers along with the utilization certificates byCRCs, BRCs and DPOs. This will creates problem for School ManagementCommittees when School Audit visits their schools. Therefore, the committeesubmit simple certificate as above, however, they have to show accounts andsatisfy the school audit and inspecting officers from various levels during theirvisits to the schools.

Chapter – V

Entitlements under RTE Act

RTE Act has specified entitlements related to access, number of teachers, parttime instructors and classrooms. The discussions on these entitlements are givenin the bullets below for the information to the School Management Committee.The main intend of including this chapter in this module is to make SchoolManagement Committee aware about the norms of entitlements of basic needsof opening a school or providing basic facilities in a school.

A. Entitlement related to access to school for all children of 6 to 14 agegroupAny habitation which falls beyond the school neighbourhood areas as perthe neighbourhood norms laid down by the state government, the childrenof that habitation, if they are out of school, are entitle for access toschooling. The state has the provision of opening of Lower PrimarySchool which is the school with three classes (I to III) in the habitationshaving 20 to 30 children and primary school with classes I to V above 30children. The strategies for providing access to schooling for the childrenof such habitations having less than 20 children are yet not devised ornotified in the state. However, we may take following norms forproviding access to schooling in this module for the children of suchhabitation of the state:

No. ofchildren

Adoptable Strategies Remarks

01 to 09 Enrolment of children providingresidential facility in the schoolsalready having hostels

We may request MHRDfor providing per childhostel fee instead ofresidential school

10 to 19 Opening of EGS Centres if thehabitation may be eligible for lowerprimary school after two years (afterprojecting children population of 6 to11 years considering birth rate andpopulation inflow)

If the habitation does notfulfill the criteria ofopening of lower primaryschool within 2 years wemay go for residentialfacility

Page 46: Module for the preparation of School Development Plan

Planning Format 46 | P a g e

B. Entitlement related to teachersThe tables given below give the entitlement of teachers in primary andupper primary levels of government schools as per RTE Act 2009. Sinceentitlement of teachers on enrolment basis as per last Notification[Notification No. 1022/Dir/HRDD/SE, dated 2nd February 2010.] of theHuman Resource Development Department, Government of Sikkim, ishigher than the RTE Entitlement, the School Management Committeemay confuse of total number of teachers to be there in a school. However,the School Management Committee has to follow the RTE entitlementwhile demanding teachers for the school.

The serial number ‘1’ shows student enrolment number as 01 to 60. Thisdoes not mean that a school can be opened or two teachers can be appointed fora child where that child only is the students for a complete session of that

school. The indication of 01 to 60 is ‘Up to 60 children’. The PTR given inthe 6th row in the table above is the rate of students per teacher. Thismeans that if there is more than 200 students in a primary school orprimary level in Junior High School, Secondary or Senior SecondarySchools then one each teacher will be added for every 40 students. Theprimary schools opened under SSA, has been given two primary teachersas the schools have less than 60 students. If the students’ enrolment is

The descriptions for Row number 1 for number of students and Rownumber 3 for PTR are same as in primary level. However, regarding thenumber of teachers in the table above may need explanations. Theentitlement of 03 teachers mentioned under column 3 are the teachers forthree subjects i.e. one Social Studies Teacher, one Science Teacher andone Language Teacher. In this case as well, the state has the provision ofproviding three Social Studies Teachers, one Mathematics Teacher andone Science Teacher (including Head Teacher) for upper primary level.The language classes in upper primary level are normally dealt byprimary teachers. However, the primary schools upgraded under SSA arefollowing the norms of RTE Act for the placement teachers.

C. Entitlement of part Time InstructorsThe upper primary schools having enrolment (enrolment in Classes VI toVIII) more than one hundred are entitle for three Part Time Instructorsviz. one work education instructor, one art education instructor and onephysical education instructor. The art education instructor normallyworks on both performing and visual arts. The performing arts like vocaland instrumental music, folk and classical dances, rhythmic movements,drama, stage puppetry, street plays, mime, mask play, etc. and visual artslike painting, drawing, paper cutting and pasting, clay and papermodeling, puppetry, sculpturing, various indigenous crafts etc. The workeducation instructor instructs the children on work education like cutting

Planning Format 48 | P a g e

vegetables, cooking, cleaning classrooms, decorating rooms, cleaningutensils, gardening, organizing class quiz, washing clothes, etc. Thisinstructor inculcates the ethics of dignity of labour. The physicaleducation instructor is not like PT Teacher. This instructor has to lookafter all the areas of children’s physical development (sports, PT, etc.)and health education (diseases, HIV Aids, adolescence counseling,population education, etc.).

D. Entitlement related to ClassroomsThe entitlement of classrooms for the school is on the basis of number ofclasses or number of teachers (as per RTE entitlement) in the schoolwhichever may be the less. This means that if in a primary school thereare five classes and the enrolment is 100. The entitlement of teachers for100 students is 03 which is less than the number of classes. Hence, theschool is entitled for 3 classrooms only.

SOME EXPLANATIONS

Plan: Plan can be of two types – (a) short term and (b) long term plans. AnnualPlan may be called as short term plan and Perspective Plan may be called aslong term plan

Student Learning Assessment: Student Learning Assessment in school is donethrough two ways – (a) Formative Assessment and (b) Summative Assessment.

Formative assessment: It is a range of formal and informal assessmentprocedures employed by teachers during the learning process in order to modifyteaching and learning activities to improve student attainment. It typicallyinvolves qualitative feedback (rather than scores) for both student and teacherthat focuses on the details of content and performance. We use to conduct fourFormative Assessments dividing the Academic Session into four equal parts.

Summative assessment: It refers to the assessment of the learning andsummarizes the development of learners at a particular time. After a period ofwork, e.g. a unit for two weeks, the learner sits for a test and then the teachermarks the test and assigns a score. The test aims to summarize learning up tothat point. The test may also be used for diagnostic assessment to identify anyweaknesses and then build on that using formative assessment.

Out of School Children: Out of school children can be of two types – (a) non-enrolled or never enrolled children and (b) dropout children

Non-enrolled or Never Enrolled Children: Children in the age group of 6 to14 years who have not taken admission in the school (Not pre-primary school)because of one or other reason.

Dropout Children: Children in the age group of 6 to 14 years who were onceadmitted in school and dropped the school without completing 8-yearelementary cycle. The children leaves classes for a whole academic session orleaves classes after first summative assessment till the end of second summativeassessment may be called as dropout children.
