Assessment of Primary Education in Andhra Pradesh Areas of Intervention

Abstract

From Introduction: Contextualised, area specific, and decentralized planning and management to achieve universalization of quality education is the basic strategy of District Primary Education Programme [DPEP]. This strategy has evolved from out of our long experience of failure in fulfilling the constitutional promise of universalizing primary education, Macro planning and centralised administration could not be sensitive to the micro realities and hence could not evoke response from the people. To generate peoples response several things have to happen simultaneously. Systems have to change, processes have to change, and attitudes have to change at all levels. Then we would have created self sustaining, self reliant and participatory system of primary education which fulfills our objectives of universal access, and universal quality.
