Scheme for setting up of 6000 Model Schools at Block Level as benchmark
of excellence
1. Background:
1.1 Secondary education was not a thrust area during the Tenth Plan period. There
were a few small schemes to enhance access and to improve quality, but the coverage
was neither large nor comprehensive. The plan schemes concentrated on continuing
the school systems run by autonomous organizations of MHRD and included efforts for
integrated education for the disabled, girls’ education through provision of hostel
facilities, use of ICT in schools, vocationalisation of higher secondary education and
open and distance learning.
1.2. Since universalisation of elementary education has become a Constitutional
mandate, it is absolutely essential to push this vision forward to move towards
universalisation of secondary education, which has already been achieved in a large
number of developed countries and several developing countries. Paras 5.13 – 5.15 of
the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 (as modified in 1992) deal with Secondary
Education. Para 5.13 of the NPE, inter- alia, stated that,
“Access to Secondary Education will be widened with emphasis on enrolment of
girls, SCs and STs, particularly in science, commerce and vocational
streams……..”.
1.3. CABE Committees
1.3.1. A Committee of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE), the highest
deliberative body in secondary education, on “Universalisation of Secondary Education”
was constituted in September 2004. The Committee in its report submitted in June 2005,
inter alia, had recommended certain norms regarding facilities in Secondary Schools.
These norms are broadly based on the norms for Kendriya Vidyalayas.
1.3.2. Besides the Committee on Universalisation of Secondary Education, CABE had
also, at the same time, set up another Committee on “Girls’ Education & Common
School System”. The Committee has recommended, inter alia, that:
“…….State should invest in public schools system with standards, norms, building, etc.,
with the same standards as that of Kendriya Vidyalayas”.
1.4. The Central Government is committed to make secondary education of good
quality available, accessible and affordable to all young persons. A major initiative for
expanding secondary education will be taken up in the 11th Plan. The norm would be to
provide a secondary school within 5 KMs. and a higher secondary school within a
distance of 7-8 KM of every habitation by the end of 11th Five Year Plan. The GER of
secondary education is targeted to increase from 52% in 2004-05 to 75% in 2011-12.
Similarly, GER for higher secondary level is targeted from 28% to 45-50% during the
11th Plan. The general objective is to universalise secondary education (up to class 10)
by the end of the 12th Plan. During the 11th Plan, while access to secondary education
will be universalised, there will be adequate focus on quality improvement. Not only
universal enrolment, but universal retention and satisfactory quality of learning will be
the priority. In spite of the effort to expand access to quality secondary education, there
will be need to have high quality schools for talented rural children, who may not be in a
position to access quality schools in urban areas, without compromising Government’s
commitment to common school system.
2. Prime Minister’s Independence Day Announcement
2.1. Prime Minister in his Independent Speech, 2007, has, inter alia, stated, as under:
“ I request states to give priority to education, as education alone is the
foundation on which a progressive, prosperous society can be built. Growing revenue
earnings have improved the fiscal capacity of the States. They must now give priority to
education.
Towards this end, our Government has decided to invest in setting up good quality
schools across the country. We will support 6,000 new high quality schools – one in
every block of the country. Each such school will set standards of excellence for other
schools in the area.”
2.2. In the meeting of the full Planning Commission held on 13.9.2007, the Prime
Minister in his opening remarks has, inter alia, stated
“To kick start the initiative, the proposal for setting up 6000 high quality model
schools with costs to be shared by the Centre and the State needs to finalized
within the next few weeks. The mechanism for setting up and managing these
schools – whether in the government sector or through private partnership in
some aspects – should be worked out by MHRD, in consultation with the
Planning Commission. It must be recognized that about 60% of secondary
schools are under private management and the Ministry and the Planning
Commission should focus on incorporating the role of the private sector wherever
possible. An outline of the proposal should be available within two months.”
3. The concept of Model school: Basically a model school will have infrastructure
and facilities of the same standard as in a Kendriya Vidyalaya and with stipulations on
pupil -teacher ratio, ICT usage, holistic educational environment, appropriate curriculum
and emphasis on output and outcome. Some of the key features of a model school will
be:
(i) Education provided in a Model school should be holistic and integral
touching upon physical, emotional and aesthetic development in addition to
academics.
(ii) Either brand new schools may be established or existing schools may be
converted in to Model schools.
(iii) Necessary infrastructure will be provided in such schools not only for
satisfying teaching needs, but also for sports and co-curricular activities.
There will be sufficient scope for sports, recreation and outdoor activities.
Facilities like play ground, gardens, auditorium etc. will be provided in
Model schools.
(iv) The curriculum should cast the local culture and environment and learning
should be activity based.
(v) These schools will have adequate ICT infrastructure, Internet connectivity
and full time computer teachers.
(vi) The Teacher Pupil Ratio should not exceed 1:25 and the classrooms will
be spacious enough to accommodate at least 30 students. However,
classroom-students ratio will not exceed 1:40.
(vii) These schools will be provided with Arts and Music Teachers besides
subject specific teachers as per the usual norms. These schools will also
create facility for activities emphasizing Indian heritage and art & craft.
(viii) Special emphasis may be given on teaching of Science, Maths and
English. If required, bridge-courses may be introduced for weak students.
(ix) The school curricula should include the material/items that inculcate
leadership qualities, team spirit, participation abilities, development of soft
skills and ability to deal with real life situations.
(x) Health Education and health check up will be introduced in these schools.
(xi) A good library with books and magazines for students and teachers will be
provided.
(xii) Field trips and educational tours will be an integral part of the curriculum.
(xiii) Medium of instruction will be left to State Governments. However, special
emphasis will be given on English teaching & spoken English.
(xiv) Affiliation of these schools to a particular examination board will be left to
State Governments.
(xv) Selection of students will be though independent selections test.
(xvi) Selection of Principals and Teachers will also be through an independent
process to be developed in consultation with State Governments.
(xvii) Model schools will have appropriate pace setting activities so that schools
in the neighbourhood can benefit.
4. Implementation
4.1. 3500 of the 6000 model schools will be set up in the Educationally Backward
Blocks (EBBs) on Kendriya Vidyalaya template. Another 2,500 schools will be set up
under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
4.2 Model schools on Kendriya Vidyalaya norms
In view of the recommendations of the two CABE Committees on
“Universalisation of Secondary Education” and “Girls’ Education & Common School
System” to adopt Kendriya Vidyalaya norms in expansion of school system and for
investment in schools conforming to Kendriya Vidyalaya norms, it is proposed that the
high quality model schools may broadly have infrastructure facilities of the same
standard as in a Kendriya Vidyalaya and with stipulations on pupil teacher ratio, ICT
usage, holistic educational environment, appropriate curriculum and emphasis on output
and outcome. It is, therefore, proposed that 3,500 Model Schools to be established in
Educationally Backward Blocks (EBB) under the management and supervision of State
Governments and the 2,500 schools under PPP mode, should basically conform to the
norms of Kendriya Vidyalayas, although the funding pattern and management structure
will be different.

modalities of the PPP model will be worked out by the Ministry of Human Resource
Development separately in consultation with the Planning Commission, the State
Governments and other stake holders.
5. Admission
Admission in 3,500 schools under State Governments will be through an admission test
conducted by the State societies managing the model schools. Tests will be conducted
block wise, i.e., students residing in a particular block will compete for the school in that
block. Existing reservations will apply.
6. Role of the State Government in setting up 3,500 Schools in State sector
