Draft Annual Plan 1989-90 (Jammu & Kashmir)

Abstract

From General Education: Jammu and Kashmir State is one of the educationally backward States of the Country. The Education sector is receiving priority attention under the plan. 7th Five Year outlay of Rs. 75.78 lakhs has been approved for the School Education Sector. During 1988-89 the stress is on consolidation and improvement of the existing institutions instead of going in for large scale expansion, the exception being school-less habitations, where the schools have to be established in order to achieve the target of UEE laid down under National Policy on Education. It is proposed to continue to follow to this policy in 1989-90 as well and establish schools in schools-less habitations. At the end of the year 1988-89 the school-less habitations are anticipated to be 1145. It is proposed to cover 150 school-less habitations during 1989-90. Similarly all hanging schools with 9th class are proposed to be upgraded to high school level.
