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

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

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.

7. QUALITY OF EDUCATION
7.1. Educational Indicators
The impact of all interventions can be easily evaluated through indicators. An
educational indicator is a measure of the status of education system with regard to its
goals. The definitions for some of the educational indicators are given below [3]:
i). Net Enrolment Rate
ii). Gross Enrolment Rate
iii). Gross Enrolment Rate (Primary)
iv). Retention Rate (Upper Primary)
v). Drop Out Rate
vi). Transition Rate
vii). Pupil Teacher Ratio
viii). Equity in Enrolment
ix). Gender Perspective in Enrolment
7.2. Integrating Technology
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].
7.4. School Management Committee
The Community participation has been viewed as an essential element of
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
