The most pressing need seems to be the paucity of trained and qualified teachers. According to the demand for grants 2012-13 of the department of school education and literacy, that was tabled in the Rajya Sabha on May 3, while schools across India are coming very close to meeting RTE norms on various infrastructural issues such as the construction of primary and upper primary schools, additional classrooms, drinking water and toilet facilities, they still lag behind in providing an adequate number of teachers. In fact, the report shockingly found that several states, including Delhi, Haryana and Maharashtra, have decreasing numbers of teachers. That is, from 2009-10 to 2010-11, for unspecified reasons, the number of teachers in these states has actually reduced, as has the number of government elementary schools. The report has it right when it says &ldquo;There cannot be any justification in the number of teachers or schools going down. The need of the hour is to have more and more teachers and schools, the most crucial indicators for RTE (Right to Education)&rdquo;.

Where are the teachers? |
-The Financial Express Lots of work ahead to make RTE work The reasons behind the poor performance of schools students in India are slowly being whittled down from a whole range of reasons (low attendance, high drop-out rate, lack of teachers, lack of adequate number of schools, etc) to just a few key areas that need a lot of work. The most pressing need seems to be the paucity of trained and qualified teachers. According to the demand for grants 2012-13 of the department of school education and literacy, that was tabled in the Rajya Sabha on May 3, while schools across India are coming very close to meeting RTE norms on various infrastructural issues such as the construction of primary and upper primary schools, additional classrooms, drinking water and toilet facilities, they still lag behind in providing an adequate number of teachers.

The need of the hour is to have more and more teachers and schools, the most crucial indicators for RTE (Right to Education)”. It couldn’t have said it better; what is the point of meeting the infrastructural requirements of RTE if there are too few teachers to actually make a difference? The report goes on to make a point that must be stressed more: that the government’s current view is of measuring progress in education by laying more emphasis on infrastructure-related details rather than outcomes. Gujarat has done well to structure its RTE rules in such a way that they measure outcomes (student performance in a given year, student performance over time, etc) rather than inputs, but it is only one state; unless its example is replicated across the country, student performance will continue to remain dismal—the report found that as students progressed to higher grades, the number of students who passed the year, already quite low, fell away dramatically.
