gives pleasure to themselves ,the world also derives pleasure from it” in Thirukkural

Number 399 belongs to “Porutpal” in “Kalvi Athigaram”. The well designed

education system make the people to acquire knowledge, new technology, expertise

in the specific field which leads to enhance the productivity in rural and urban areas

of the country. The growth of literacy rate points out educational standard of total

population. The public and private sectors are playing important role in offering

educational services such as fundamental, general, technical and medical courses to

the rural area too. The school education assists the students to gain self-confidence

and adequate knowledge in current disciplines, and also an experience to local history,

Figure1: Knowledge of Education

The examinations must be more flexible and integrated in classroom life by

implementing continuous and comprehensive evaluation in phases, to remove the

anxiety and stress caused by terminal examinations. The Right of Children to Free and

Compulsory Education Act (RTE) of April 2010 provides for the following: “Every

child of the age of six to fourteen years shall have a right to free and compulsory

education in a neighborhood school till completion of elementary education”.

Teachers are envisaged as being key partners in planning and implementing

community participation strategies and the document states that participation for RTE

implies a mutually supportive and collaborative partnership among teachers, pupils,

parents, community and civil society [5].

The case study focused on the implementation of the RTE-based reforms in

the state sector. It presented a detailed review of the RTE legislation, Sarva Shiksha

Abhiyan (SSA), which is the Indian government‟s main program for achieving

education for all, and the National Curriculum Framework 2005. It also included a

discussion of the numerous systemic problems inherent in Indian elementary

education. These various aspects provided the context for the empirical research. The

investigation was conducted in relation to the issues of „infrastructure‟ and „teacher

professionalism‟ as well as in relation to „continuous and comprehensive evaluation‟

as a component of child-centered curriculum.

The main sources of data were interviews with teachers. The curriculum was

defined according to the definition in the SSA Framework, as any aspect of

educational delivery, such as textbooks, syllabi, lesson planning, texts and exams [6],

[7].

The main research questions were as follows:

(1) How are education objectives and curriculum being implemented?

(2) How do the school‟s teachers approach the implementation of the curriculum?

Moral value education at school level is being enriched by the incorporation of

1,050 Thirukkural verses from two major divisions of Thirukkural, namely

„Arathuppal‟ and „Porutpal‟ in the new syllabi for standards 6 to 12. The students of

these classes will gain a comprehensive understanding of the 80 ethical values, as

inscribed in Thirukkural, through learning 150 Thirukkural couplets in each class.

The modern scheme “Samacheer Kalvi Thittam” through a uniform syllabus

for multiple streams and curriculum authorized by the state government. The

Samacheer Kalvi or Tamil Nadu Uniform System of School Education or Equitable

education system is a School Education Department of Government of Tamil Nadu,

India programme to integrate the various school educational systems within the state.

There are over 1.2 crore students in four streams of school education comprising

about 45,000 state board schools, 11,000 matriculation schools, 25 oriental schools

and 50 Anglo-Indian schools, with different syllabus, textbooks and schemes of

examinations. Uniform System of School Education was implemented by Tamil Nadu

Uniform System of School Education Act 2010 which paves way for quality

education to all children without any discrimination based on their economic, social

or cultural background. The new system of education was introduced for classes I and

VI in the 2010 academic year.

Kindergarten classes in government schools in Tamil Nadu are all set to begin

on January 21, 2019. The state government earlier announced that LKG and UKG

classes would start in 2,300 government middle schools with anganwadi centres

located on the school premises. Over 53,000 children in these schools will be put in

Montessori-education based KG classes in English medium. Rs 7 crore has been

released towards this. Educational tools, teaching and learning materials including

color pencils or crayons and printed curriculum would be made available in all these

classes, read government order. Four sets of free uniform, one set of chappal and

completion certificates would be distributed to all the 52,000 students, it added. The

scheme also aimed at improving students' learning skills, spoken and writing ability of

competencies in English language and reducing economic burden on parents.

The highlight and essential of education system is the role of library. The

realisation of the objectives of a library depends to a great extent on the services and

standards of libraries and the professional attitudes of library personnel. University

offers abundant scope for the utmost development of those very important aspects. It

is, therefore, necessary that libraries should provide better and more qualitative

services. The education contributes more towards the development of Female

Education for empowerment in society. The government of Tamilnadu has offering

facilities for NEET coaching and practice more as well as various special schemes.

2. LITERACY RATE IN TAMILNADU

The literacy growth of Tamilnadu as well as India is tendered in table 1 in

detailed manner. The table 1 indicates literacy rate in India and Tamil Nadu from

1901 to 2011. According to census reports for various years, the literacy rate during

1901was5.30 percent and at grew to 74.04 percent in 2011. As per the census 2011,

84.1 percent and 67.8 percent of people had ability on read and write skill respectively

urban and rural areas [8].

The growth of literacy has been very uneven over the decades in the State. The

growth rate of literacy for the State was the highest in the 1950‟s (50.96%). It slowed

down to 25.8% in the 1960‟s. The 1970‟s showed a relatively better performance,

which has not been sustained in the 1980‟s and 1990‟s. Actually the near-stagnation

in the 1990‟s has been a cause for much worry. The survey in 1994 reveals an

insignificant increase in the rate of literacy. The total literacy increased by a mere

1.02 % over the 4-year period.

The 21st century is an age of information and technology. This has

necessitated the integration of technology with education. Tamil Nadu is the pioneer

state to integrate technology with textbooks, workbooks and teacher‟s manual. QR

Codes have been affixed which are linked to digital contents. The teachers and

students are able to access the digital content with the help of QR Codes. The new

approach has been piloted in 16 schools in three districts viz. Chennai, Kancheepuram

and Coimbatore. It is observed that the learning through physical content and

activities was effective even for standard 1 children. Presently, the pilot project has

been extended to 173 schools in 11 more districts [12].

decentralizing education governance to the grass root level. The effective

implementation of various provisions ensuring the child‟s right to education along

with various entitlements specified in the RTE Act, 2009 rests with the School

Management Committee (SMC) and Local Authorities. Accordingly, 42,167 SMCs

have been constituted in Government and Government aided Schools. The main

will be made aware of the provisions of the RTE Act, 2009 and their roles and

responsibilities in supporting the school [3].

8. STATE COUNCIL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND TRAINING

The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has been

instrumental in bringing in qualitative changes in the teaching learning processes in

school education in the State. It is responsible to develop curriculum, syllabus and

textbooks for standards 1 to 12 by involving the best academic experts. SCERT has

been largely involved in capacity building of teachers in innovative ways of teaching.

quality in-service training with the support of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. It also

facilitates the conduct of action researches to address academic issues in the

classrooms and to transform teachers into reflective pedagogues.

In the recent past, it has been the endeavor to help students become 21st

century learners and acquire soft skills by leveraging ICT. It has also evolved career

guidance to help students tackle challenges after schooling and pursue their higher

studies and career options. SCERT is poised to help the State become a pioneer in

optimum utilization of digital technology for enhancing the quality of learning

outcomes of children at all levels.
