Seventh Five Year Plan 1985-90 Sector Education

Abstract

The territory of Andaman & Nicobar Islands has , been declared as Educationally backward. Majority of the children who are attending the schools belong either to the weaker sections of the society or are tribals. All of them are first generation learners. We had not been able to bring about any qualitative improvement so far as the children do not get any aid et their homes after schools hours nor find any educational environment in the villages. With a view to inculcate good habits and increase the retention power of the institutions we want to catch the children at the budding age, so that qualitative improvement may be brought not only in the community to which the children belong by providing them an atmosphere for proper schooling but also provide them other amenities which are very much required for the weaker, sections of the society.
