Goals & Objectives

  •  To ensure that all secondary schools have physical facilities, staffs and supplies at least according to the prescribed standards through financial support in case of Government/ Local Body and Government aided schools, and appropriate regulatory mechanism in the case of other schools.
  • To improve access to secondary schooling to all young persons according to norms – through proximate location (say, Secondary Schools within 5 kms, and Higher Secondary Schools within 7-10 kms) / efficient and safe transport arrangements/residential facilities, depending on local circumstances including open schooling. However in hilly and difficult areas, these norms can be relaxed. Preferably residential schools may be set up in such areas.
  • To ensure that no child is deprived of secondary education of satisfactory quality due to gender, socio-economic, disability and other barriers.
  • To improve quality of secondary education resulting in enhanced intellectual, social and cultural learning.
  • To ensure that all students pursuing secondary education receive education of good quality.
  • Achievement of the above objectives would also, inter-alia, signify substantial progress in the direction of the Common School System.
