Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan – a programme created by combining Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan – will now form the basis of the Bengal Government’s approach to school education. This would help in optimising the administration of education in Bengal.
This programme would work for all aspects of management and betterment of education (including aspects like the free distribution of school textbooks, shoes and uniforms) right from the pre-primary to the higher secondary level.
A person experienced in the administration of education would be nominated by the State Government for heading the programme. There would a district head for each of the districts too.
Scientists would be inducted in the programme to visit schools and awaken interest in science among students.
