Children carry their own plates to school for mid-day meals and later rush back home on the pretext of washing the dishes, but never come back for classes.<br /> <br /> School management committees are told by teachers that no one has the right to seek any information from the school authorities. The scenario gets worse if the panchayat facilitators happen to be women or those from the disadvantaged sections.<br /> <br /> These are some of the issues that came up during the post-facto social audit of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2010 (RTE) conducted across India.<br /> <br /> If this was the situation in the rural areas, urban centres like Delhi and fast-growing States such as Tamil Nadu fared no better. The social audit in Delhi and Tamil Nadu could not be completed because the authorities refused to share details with the facilitators.<br /> <br /> In the national capital, only the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) responded to the questionnaire sent by Josh, a non-governmental organisation working with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).<br /> <br /> The Delhi government, which runs schools for Class VI students and above, did not bother to reply. In Tamil Nadu, there was reluctance to part with basic information on statistics of school education, because of a general perception that the RTE Act is to be implemented only by the State Board.<br /> <br /> The experiences were shared at a brainstorming session organised by the NCPCR here to draw up a methodology for conducting a concurrent or daily monitoring.<br /> <br /> Broadly, the issues discussed were poor infrastructure, including no separate toilets for girls, missing teachers, lack of knowledge of RTE and poor maintenance of records.

Social audit of RTE exposes state of school education by Aarti Dhar |
Classrooms give shelter to cows and buffaloes, while students sit outside in the compound. Children carry their own plates to school for mid-day meals and later rush back home on the pretext of washing the dishes, but never come back for classes.
School management committees are told by teachers that no one has the right to seek any information from the school authorities. The scenario gets worse if the panchayat facilitators happen to be women or those from the disadvantaged sections. These are some of the issues that came up during the post-facto social audit of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2010 (RTE) conducted across India. If this was the situation in the rural areas, urban centres like Delhi and fast-growing States such as Tamil Nadu fared no better. The social audit in Delhi and Tamil Nadu could not be completed because the authorities refused to share details with the facilitators. In the national capital, only the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) responded to the questionnaire sent by Josh, a non-governmental organisation working with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The Delhi government, which runs schools for Class VI students and above, did not bother to reply. In Tamil Nadu, there was reluctance to part with basic information on statistics of school education, because of a general perception that the RTE Act is to be implemented only by the State Board. The experiences were shared at a brainstorming session organised by the NCPCR here to draw up a methodology for conducting a concurrent or daily monitoring. Broadly, the issues discussed were poor infrastructure, including no separate toilets for girls, missing teachers, lack of knowledge of RTE and poor maintenance of records. Most of the schools complained that the Human Resource Development circulars on the RTE Act had not reached the schools and the teachers were ill-quipped and ill-trained to implement new concepts of teaching under the Act. The rules of the RTE Act are yet to be notified in Uttar Pradesh, which is the biggest hurdle in making things move, Malini Ghose of the Nirantar Trust pointed out.
