&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students &amp;mdash; 160 &amp;mdash; in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. &amp;ldquo;The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,&amp;rdquo; a source said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,&amp;rdquo; said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre&amp;rsquo;s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report &amp;mdash; Secondary Education in India &amp;mdash; says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level &amp;mdash; or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools &amp;mdash; is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students &amp;mdash; 160 &amp;mdash; in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. &amp;ldquo;The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,&amp;rdquo; a source said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,&amp;rdquo; said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre&amp;rsquo;s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report &amp;mdash; Secondary Education in India &amp;mdash; says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level &amp;mdash; or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools &amp;mdash; is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

	&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students &amp;mdash; 160 &amp;mdash; in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. &amp;ldquo;The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,&amp;rdquo; a source said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,&amp;rdquo; said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre&amp;rsquo;s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report &amp;mdash; Secondary Education in India &amp;mdash; says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level &amp;mdash; or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools &amp;mdash; is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students &amp;mdash; 160 &amp;mdash; in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. &amp;ldquo;The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,&amp;rdquo; a source said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,&amp;rdquo; said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre&amp;rsquo;s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report &amp;mdash; Secondary Education in India &amp;mdash; says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level &amp;mdash; or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools &amp;mdash; is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X.<br />
<br />
The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district.<br />
<br />
Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade.<br />
<br />
According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme.<br />
<br />
Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers.<br />
<br />
This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students &mdash; 160 &mdash; in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each.<br />
<br />
For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. &ldquo;The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,&rdquo; a source said.<br />
<br />
The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,&rdquo; said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA.<br />
<br />
The Centre&rsquo;s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available.<br />
<br />
Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report &mdash; Secondary Education in India &mdash; says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years.<br />
<br />
While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools.<br />
<br />
About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students.<br />
<br />
Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent.<br />
<br />
The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level &mdash; or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools &mdash; is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries.<br />
<br />
The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations.<br />
<br />
The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching.<br />
<br />
Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017.<br />
<br />
The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

Centre prods states to hire secondary teachers by Basant Kumar Mohanty

The human resource development ministry has asked all states to assess how many additional teachers are required at the secondary level under a new teacher-student ratio worked out for Classes IX and X. The states have also been told to start a mapping exercise to find out the requirement for new secondary schools in every district. Sources said the 1:32 teacher-student formula and the push for new schools were aimed at addressing the problem of teacher vacancies and a projected increase in the demand for secondary education over the next decade. According to the plan, the Centre will fund the states to recruit the additional teachers in government schools and set up new institutions under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan scheme. Under the new teacher-student formula, a secondary school with two sections in each class (IX and X) should have five subject teachers. This figure has been arrived at taking into account the ideal number of students — 160 — in these four sections, or a maximum of 40 in each. For every additional enrolment of 30 students, one additional teacher may be provided. “The total number of teachers for a school may be arrived at by following this formula. Depending on the sanctioned posts, funding for additional requirements for posts will be provided under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan,” a source said. The ministry has asked the states to undertake a mapping exercise through the Geographic Information System or manual procedures. The norm is a secondary school should be located within a 5km radius of any habitation though this area criterion can be relaxed depending on the density of population. “States have already started the school mapping exercise. The new schools will be opened in un-served areas once the states submit reports on their requirements. This initiative will help in increasing access to secondary education,” said R. Govinda, vice-chancellor of education think tank NUEPA. The Centre’s step comes in the backdrop of a report that holds up an unflattering picture of secondary education in the country in terms of quality and facilities available. Prepared by the World Bank in 2009, the report — Secondary Education in India — says the sector has remained a neglected area that has seen a decline in investment in recent years. While there are nearly 13 lakh elementary (Classes I-VIII) schools in the country, secondary schools number around 1.23 lakh. Ideally, there should by one secondary school for every two elementary schools. About 27 per cent of districts in the country have fewer than one secondary school for every 1,000 students. Of the total spend on education, the share of secondary education, which plays an important role in building up a skilled workforce, is 30 per cent. Primary education gets the largest share of 52 per cent. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at the secondary level — or the percentage of students between 14 and 18 who have enrolled in secondary schools — is 62 per cent, lower than the corresponding figures in East Asian and Latin American countries. The GER for secondary education in East Asian countries is 70 per cent, while it is 82 per cent in Latin American nations. The report said there would be a demand for secondary education from nearly 17 million students over the next decade and the challenge before India was to increase access along with a simultaneous improvement in the quality of teaching. Keeping in mind the problems in secondary education and the projected demand, the HRD ministry launched the Madhyamik Siksha scheme with the goal of universal secondary education by 2017. The HRD ministry also plans to open 349 Navodaya Vidyalayas and 250 Kendriya Vidyalayas during the 2012-17 Twelfth Five-Year Plan.
