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?

The practical system / internal assessment system / formative assessment system/ project work system or any such system where the concerned teacher commands some control to affect one's talent or performance really leaves a room for wrong/ partial assessment in the assessment system. It would be really useful to have an assessment system where everything is assessed or measured by an external source/ resource person. Such corruption is seen everywhere in medical/ engineering/teacher education.

3) Course linked with future career options- i donot think any major change is needed in coures till 10th class,but what ever activity is done ..should be done effectively. ii)After 10th there is a lack of quality teachers..in fact there is always lack of quality teachers in our country..and so education quality is low. iii) At this point i think govt should start thinking technical education in Indian languages-like Science,Arts,Commerce,..it will support India oriented innovative thinking

Re-look education: Have Practice schools planned with actual work training with supported education needed for all the streams from 5,8,10,12. The practice schools can be on all subjects which are based on industry needs in all sectors/areas of engineering/management/catering/mechanics/electrician/plumber/arts/dance/music/sports/military etc.This will help students to branch out the area of their choice and study only relevant areas to support. employability becomes high with less cost ........

वर्तमान व्यवस्था के अतिरिक्त कोई ऐसी क्रांतिकारी प्रथा की शुरुआत होनी चाहिए जिसका उदेश सिर्फ पढ़ लिख के पैसा कमाना अछि नोकरी पाना(स्वकेंद्रित ) ही न हो ,बल्कि सिक्षा को निरंतर फैलाना भी ज़िम्मेदारी मे सामील हो(सिर्फ सिक्षक ही नही विध्यार्थी भी अपने से निम्न को पढ़ाये ) ,उस को प्रोत्साहित करने को वर्तमान व्यवस्था मे कोई marking system हो ,शिक्षा का उदेश-और पाठ्यक्रम सिर्फ पैसा कमाने के आधार पर न होके सारे तत्व जैसे धर्म-अध्यात्म -सामाज-देश -संस्कृति के मूल्यो का पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी प्रसार भी हो .

The race for getting good grades in the board examination should be discouraged. This is very wrong practice. I feel that the board examination should be replaced by All India Talent Examination . Those who clear in two attempts in one should be allowed to enter into higher education system and pursue advance learning. Those who fail to qualify must be allowed to take up vocational education. The Vocational education should be expanded for them. This will make the real citizen for the country.

Successful learning will be to reshuffle the complete way of teaching by planning it well . So that continuity of the subject remains and students learn it with interest rather try than forceful reading. Students should be able to express themselves more verbally and experimenting the topics. They should be able to apply the learning in daily life. Everyone should become the part of some or the other organization to work as a team and produce results. Why wait for MBA degree to learn management?

Sir, I feel that board examination should not be the criteria to evaluate the overall personality of the students. The students are under tremendous pressure during the Secondary and Senior Secondary Board Examinations. The students should be evaluated only once before entering into higher education. It should be a complete test of over all development of the student. We have adopted an education system, where there is no correct physical and mental development of the student its only a race.

In my view, we need to keep one thing in mind, whatever we plan should be more practical in the long run. People should be able to benefit from that study in the long run. Otherwise, generally when students are scoring so high grade become meaningless after the college admissions. This is poor planing where the only way of survival is to mug up the topics or answers without much understanding and vomiting it in the exams to score the marks. This is not valuable learning .It looses it importance.
