SSA - 12th Joint Review Mission. 19th to 30th July, 2010. Aide Memoire.

Abstract

This Joint Review Mission (JRM) has changed the format of its report slightly, with the hope of addressing both cross-cutting issues which have proven to be very difficult to overcome (and hence need more focused attention from MHRD and the States), and Goal-specific issues. Part 1 covers the former, and Part 2 the latter. This revised format also reflects the new context for SSA as a result of the Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, for which SSA has been designated as the primary implementation mechanism. Part 1 is not an Executive Summary of Part 2 but rather a more holistic view of the key issues related to SSA at this critical juncture. Key Recommendations are offered to address overarching issues, goal-wise issues and programme management issues.
