&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;KOCHI:&lt;/em&gt; The private schools in the state which don&#039;t meet the infrastructure requirements as prescribed in the Right to Education (RTE) Act have a reason to smile. The sixteenth joint mission of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in its latest report, has suggested that instead of closing down private schools that are not RTE-compliant, the state governments should ensure that quality standards are met both by private as well as government schools.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This gains significance for Kerala as the state has more private schools than government schools.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Shutting down schools that don&#039;t meet the required norms and standards will place an additional burden on SSA funds at a time when the overall demand for primary education is still greater than supply. If private schools are shut down, the government schools would not be able to cope with the numbers as private schools cater to more than 30% of children and a 50% closure rate will put 15% of student population out of school,&amp;quot; the report says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &amp;quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn&#039;t seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&amp;quot; the report notes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
As per statistics, the number of government schools is declining in the state. In 2010-2011, the percentage of government share of total schools was 38, while in 2009-2010, it was 41%. In Kerala, there are 3,438 government schools -- 899 upper primary and 2,539 lower primary. In contrast, there are almost 27 lakh students studying in the 5,848 aided schools of which 1,870 are upper primary and 3,978, lower primary.

&lt;em&gt;KOCHI:&lt;/em&gt; The private schools in the state which don&#039;t meet the infrastructure requirements as prescribed in the Right to Education (RTE) Act have a reason to smile. The sixteenth joint mission of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in its latest report, has suggested that instead of closing down private schools that are not RTE-compliant, the state governments should ensure that quality standards are met both by private as well as government schools.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This gains significance for Kerala as the state has more private schools than government schools.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Shutting down schools that don&#039;t meet the required norms and standards will place an additional burden on SSA funds at a time when the overall demand for primary education is still greater than supply. If private schools are shut down, the government schools would not be able to cope with the numbers as private schools cater to more than 30% of children and a 50% closure rate will put 15% of student population out of school,&amp;quot; the report says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &amp;quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn&#039;t seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&amp;quot; the report notes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
As per statistics, the number of government schools is declining in the state. In 2010-2011, the percentage of government share of total schools was 38, while in 2009-2010, it was 41%. In Kerala, there are 3,438 government schools -- 899 upper primary and 2,539 lower primary. In contrast, there are almost 27 lakh students studying in the 5,848 aided schools of which 1,870 are upper primary and 3,978, lower primary.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &amp;quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn&#039;t seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&amp;quot; the report notes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
As per statistics, the number of government schools is declining in the state. In 2010-2011, the percentage of government share of total schools was 38, while in 2009-2010, it was 41%. In Kerala, there are 3,438 government schools -- 899 upper primary and 2,539 lower primary. In contrast, there are almost 27 lakh students studying in the 5,848 aided schools of which 1,870 are upper primary and 3,978, lower primary.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;KOCHI:&lt;/em&gt; The private schools in the state which don&#039;t meet the infrastructure requirements as prescribed in the Right to Education (RTE) Act have a reason to smile. The sixteenth joint mission of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in its latest report, has suggested that instead of closing down private schools that are not RTE-compliant, the state governments should ensure that quality standards are met both by private as well as government schools.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This gains significance for Kerala as the state has more private schools than government schools.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Shutting down schools that don&#039;t meet the required norms and standards will place an additional burden on SSA funds at a time when the overall demand for primary education is still greater than supply. If private schools are shut down, the government schools would not be able to cope with the numbers as private schools cater to more than 30% of children and a 50% closure rate will put 15% of student population out of school,&amp;quot; the report says.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &amp;quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn&#039;t seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&amp;quot; the report notes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
As per statistics, the number of government schools is declining in the state. In 2010-2011, the percentage of government share of total schools was 38, while in 2009-2010, it was 41%. In Kerala, there are 3,438 government schools -- 899 upper primary and 2,539 lower primary. In contrast, there are almost 27 lakh students studying in the 5,848 aided schools of which 1,870 are upper primary and 3,978, lower primary.

&lt;em&gt;KOCHI:&lt;/em&gt; The private schools in the state which don&#039;t meet the infrastructure requirements as prescribed in the Right to Education (RTE) Act have a reason to smile. The sixteenth joint mission of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in its latest report, has suggested that instead of closing down private schools that are not RTE-compliant, the state governments should ensure that quality standards are met both by private as well as government schools.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This gains significance for Kerala as the state has more private schools than government schools.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Shutting down schools that don&#039;t meet the required norms and standards will place an additional burden on SSA funds at a time when the overall demand for primary education is still greater than supply. If private schools are shut down, the government schools would not be able to cope with the numbers as private schools cater to more than 30% of children and a 50% closure rate will put 15% of student population out of school,&amp;quot; the report says.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &amp;quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn&#039;t seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&amp;quot; the report notes.&amp;nbsp;

The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&amp;nbsp;

<em>KOCHI:</em> The private schools in the state which don't meet the infrastructure requirements as prescribed in the Right to Education (RTE) Act have a reason to smile. The sixteenth joint mission of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, in its latest report, has suggested that instead of closing down private schools that are not RTE-compliant, the state governments should ensure that quality standards are met both by private as well as government schools.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
This gains significance for Kerala as the state has more private schools than government schools.&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Shutting down schools that don't meet the required norms and standards will place an additional burden on SSA funds at a time when the overall demand for primary education is still greater than supply. If private schools are shut down, the government schools would not be able to cope with the numbers as private schools cater to more than 30% of children and a 50% closure rate will put 15% of student population out of school,&quot; the report says.&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
This observation was made after states like Andhra Pradesh informed the mission that they have closed down 130 private schools that are not RTE-compliant. &quot;The mission emphasizes that quality standards need to be met both by private as well as government schools. It, therefore, doesn't seem a very good idea to penalize private schools by closing them, thereby denying education to the deprived sections in that area,&quot; the report notes.&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The private schools outnumber government schools in Kerala. The government has converted them into grant-in-aid schools, paying for teacher salaries and training and students in these schools do not pay fees. However, SSA support is not available to these private schools due to which the viability of these schools is threatened.&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
As per statistics, the number of government schools is declining in the state. In 2010-2011, the percentage of government share of total schools was 38, while in 2009-2010, it was 41%. In Kerala, there are 3,438 government schools -- 899 upper primary and 2,539 lower primary. In contrast, there are almost 27 lakh students studying in the 5,848 aided schools of which 1,870 are upper primary and 3,978, lower primary.

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan backs schools that are not RTE-compliant -Preetu Venugopalan Nair
