Report of the Working Group on Elementary Education, Non-Formal Education, Early Childhood Education and Teacher Education for the Ninth Five Year Plan

Abstract

The working report is divided into 6 major parts. Each chapter commences with a brief review of past performance; provides a brief description of the status of different projects and schemes; outlines strategies to be adopted in the 9th Plan and concludes with concrete plans and programmes proposed to be taken up during the 9th Plan. As Education is a Concurrent subject, the report seeks to delineate the responsibilities of Central and State Governments as far as possible. Special attention has been given to the role of PRIs and NGOs.
