What are your stories?

Karnataka :

There are seven departments:

Two DDPI ( Admin  & Development )

Admin: All the organising work

Dev: Training and academics

Language Training teacher doing a research.

BRCC: Block Resource Centre Coordinator

He was dynamic, worked as High School HM.

I was overwhelmed by looking at that school.

Mandya: Work of the Foundation?

Teacher Learning Centre

Anu: Gulbarga: Nalli Kalli was functioning way better than in Bengaluru. As soon as you enter you come to know its a Nalli kalli classroom. The teacher had put in lot of effort to create the TLM.

The teachers were involved. The TLMs were being used. The kids were actually using the resources. That was a really nice thing to see.

Why was it different there?

I think the teacher makes a huge difference. The teachers seemed much more interested. They got uniforms sponsored by an MLA. There was a lot of initiative taken by the teacher to ensure student learning.

Gulbarga: We went for the community visit. What I found interesting was all the village people had a positive attitude towards education. Parents were ready to send there children anywhere they wanted to study. I saw some people who had B.Ed with good percentage who were engaged in farming.

We visited a school in the village of Okhli. And the school has a beautiful gardening. Nowhere did I see such a beautiful garden. The school has got many awards for maintenance. The principal gave credit to the teachers, SDMC and the students.

Any other person from Gulbarga?

There were three teacher learning workshops. They use local materials. The teachers were committed. They used 'blocks' to teach maths. They used local materials like seeds and stones to teach maths.

Anyone else?

I liked the relationship between teacher and student. They would explain nicely. They didn't scold the children even when they were unruly. I didn't see the stick being used. The teacher mentioned that they would share motivational stories apart from the usual academics.

Should we move to Uttarakhand?

Yadgir: A senior lecturer from DIET.  With the conversation with the lecturer at DIET. They talked about the enrolments going down because of the D.Ed.

Even if you put out a notification for teacher vacancy, very few would apply. The teachers were not able to qualify the CET and TET exams.  They were not getting enough lecturers for DIET. Another question we had was their responsibility to observe classes. Is there collaboration between the lecturers and the BRCc.

Government trains the MRPs.  That was with DIET.

In all the functionaries meeting, there was one person who could talk in English. One interesting thing that BRP and CRP served in their post for five years and then would go back to teaching.

Teachers were quite happy attending the trainings at APF.

Teachers would come for evening circles.

The teachers could choose the module which they would be interested in. Online platform. Some trainings didn't make sense.

Adding to what she said, we visited DIET on a weekday. It was a weekday. We asked why there were no classes. There were only four students for D.Ed. The lecturers had to literally call the students. The students were planning to quit the D.Ed. The same is not applicable for B.Ed. It was going well.

Who's next?

Uttarakhand?

Could you start with Uttarakhand?

Start! Anyone! From the back.

Anyone! Pehle tum. Pehle aap.

Udham Singh Nagar. Did you meet Ashish Tripathi?

Ashish was first batch alumni.

There were only seventeen students in a class with only two teachers. One of the teacher was on a maternity leave. I don't know how she was managing to take the classes. There was a kid with dyslexia. I talked to her when she told us, her parents told her that she had an accident because of which she struggles in learning.

We will try to discuss what's not discussed already. We shall avoid repeating the stories.

So, we can talk about the DIET of USN and the functionaries whom we met.

BEO from Sitarganj. (1 - 8)

DEO ( Deputy Education Officer ) 9-12

Primary School Officer.

The DIET was reasonably well staffed.

Seven departments.

The first session that we attended was a ten day basic course on computers.

The person would show a video. It was funny in the sense that the instructor was there. The y were making video calls to their home. And the lecturer didn't seem to be concerned. Post that their computer... Agenda was creating and deleting a video.

We questioned the method and the rationale of the instructor.

Dr. Saxena, In-service teacher training.

He told us a lot about the DIET. D.El.Ed have a lot of students. They train the students. It has a field and theory component. They also experienced a DElEd classroom which was remarkably better that other teachers.

The problem is that the teacher recruitment will happen according to seniority. These old teachers have degree but their motivation level is really low. Its very difficult to motivate them. The State government issues ads. The earlier you did you B.Ed the earlier you get your job. They have a lot of paucity of funds in this regard.

We also met the Pracharya of the DIET. That was a terrifying conversation which we had. All the knowledge was in the Vedas. A teacher training can be driven only by the teacher's motivation. We also met two DEOs and one BEO.

The discussion was about the kind of work the teachers were given. Time crunch for teachers. The teachers job is 24x7. They didn't find any issue with extra work given to teachers. Every school has a kitchen which was clearly not the case. One of the BEO categorically said that there was no caste discrimination.

Did you find any MDM happening in the schools? Anything regarding MDM?

The problem village teachers faced was they had to bring the grocery all by themselves. It was surprising to see two teachers handling the students. They were teaching one on one. There I found the caste issue while .. Last year there were SC students . We motivated them to take admission in other school. The SC students can't stay with ST students. The teacher himself motivated the student to go to other school.

It was raining heavily. A first standard student was hit four-five times by a teacher. The teachers believed in corporal punishment. The D.El.Ed students were performing well. The BEO and DEO were blaming the parents for not being responsible for their child's learning.

One interesting concept that hasn't been implemented. Every DIET is supposed to have LAB schools which can be used for testing the pedagogies. DIET folks that it would be a good idea to have a LAB school just like APF schools.

***

We were in Dehradun, Vikas Nagar Block. The people there were quite welcoming. We visited three primary schools and two upper primary schools. 22 was highest enrolment, the lowest being 3 which was on the verge of closing down.

The teachers are concerned that the enrolment is decreasing. 1:30 ratio is a problem. Parents thought that because of one teacher s/he may not be able to do the job. The infrastructure was good and classrooms were print rich. In upper primary the kids would decide the proportion of food, the teacher would then taste the food.

SMC meetings. It was just a task on the checklist. The parents had a lot of work to do. They would just sign and leave. From this year the government has been  transferring the money of the textbooks instead of providing the textbooks. Because of this there was just one textbook in the classroom.

Ap: The kids would walk four to five kilometers. It was a mountainous area. Did you trek? It was a mixed terrain. The classrooms were SMARTCLASS. The assembly was good.

***

Chhattisgarh - Dhamtari, Janjgir

I will speak about the functionaries we met.

From Janjgir:

So when we met the CAC.. Helping the teachers with pedagogical concerns.

They don't have the option of resisting orders from higher authorities.

Janjgir, most faculty posts were filled. Funds from the centre were irregular. The have not been able to coordinate. This in turn is affecting the quality of pedagogy in the classroom. We saw the presentation of TLMs. Most students were able to explain it properly.

We met HMs. Instead of 1:30, it should be one teacher per class.

The twenty five percent quote ... Most children from Janjgir went to private schools. The government school children get stepmotherly treatment.

I am not talking about the caste system, Its there everywhere in India. In this programme a lot of head teachers come for the training. They are talking about the problem of playgrounds. Lack of sports facilities. Lack of teachers, community not interested in school. Poverty, problems of the migrant people. They were talking only about the problems outside their locus of control. They are not sending children to schools. They are only blaming the policy and the community. They are not talking about how to improve the teaching.

There were overall 38 head teachers were there but only 18 were present.

The thing that I noticed.. I went to two schools. Its in the centre of the city. The infrastructure was good. In Ringini. Comparing kids' knowledge.. The knowledge of kids in the village was more. The other thing that I liked about the APF's work was the Baal Mela. They would engage the students with different kinds of activities.

Anyone else?

Done?

Chhattisgarh?

So I went to Raigarh. Visited the DIET. Pathetic situation. Only three out of sixteen were present. No one wants to work with the DDPI Dev. DIET offers preservice and inservice teacher training. APF has worked with SCERT and NCERT. Education, society, curriculum.... The problem is that the faculty who are there are not equipped. For every question there had just one answer, "The teachers are not interested." They do not want to take the responsibility to generate the interest. The teachers had to travel three hours to travel for their training. The teachers are already jam packed . The DIET people are telling that they are trying to implement the TLS programme but there wasn't much evidence for the some.

APF has become a substitute for DIET. It seems like a wise decision for now but could be problematic in the future.

Do you have research-action?

Research-action has been substituted with education technology!

Dharamjaygarh is a tribal area with plenty of research areas.

***

We went to MP. There we visited Khargone DIET. I just felt that the DIET lecturer shouldn't have been there. His talks didn't reflect the seriousness. If you want to master

Enrolment, Attendance and Drop Out.

Three things are important. All are the problems of teachers. I will give you grades if you want any.

What do you mean by quality education? He avoided the question.

These are also good learnings.

Now you are feeling frustrated but many of you will go to problematic places to explore more.

Dhamtari: we were sixteen people.

We were divided into three groups: Bakara, Magri, Something..

My team in Bakara met BEO and ABEO. He was interested in answering the questions. The BEO gave us life lessons about how to be successful in life. He leads the position because he has political power.  The foundation offers different ways of teaching but a teacher finds it difficult to practice what is taught in the training. Language is also a problem. Sahu community leading the area.

I went to Magarlo block. The school was working very properly. The teacher-student relation was really well. The teachers were quite young. They are aware of case system. For eg. In the assembly they don't have any religious thing. They just have the National Anthem.

There would a two minute meditation session. After that any student could come and ask any question.

In the MDM every students would have to contribute four rupee per meal. The teachers were interested to give egg to the students. The community wanted to build a temple inside the school.

New BEO was incharge. He talked about the lack of teachers and students in the education system. Most of the private schools were under RSS.

In Dhamtari, almost hundred students are studying D.El.Ed.

In CG there are ___ DIETs.

In every year the students have to identify research topics.

I want to share my personal experience. All of my batchmates were walking. We stayed back in the bus. Instead of sitting, we started walking back. We saw an intoxicated person. I and Rev were walking. That person came to us. He was not standing properly. He was dancing. He just came near to us. We shouted Krishna. He also shouted Krishna.

The other thing was in the school all the work was done by the kids, getting the plates, washing the plates. We were forced to give our plates to the kids. The kids may not say their first name but would surely say their caste.

What is your caste? Why have you not married? Why short hair?

The people couldn't accept the fact that three girls wanted to see a lake.

Mahua. If you consume mahua and you're in the sun, and if you consume, you're a gone case!

Communities have their own version of drugs. Amal.

Interesting stories have come up.

CG: BEO paid ten lakhs for his post. They also have some kind of connection. Its all corruption.

I am surprised how MDM is not happening.

***

Rajasthan:

I went to Barmer in Rajasthan. I don't know Hindi. The mother tongue of the people is Marwari. Our accommodation and food was not well.

It was really interesting. The stay was horrible. The food was very bad. I don't know how you managed. We visited few of the pretty good schools.

This is post office.

We didn't manage to go to the DIET which is in Barmer.

The BEO office had interschool games.

What was interesting?

The caste system was quite open and a high level of caste discrimination.

Girl education is highly there.

In office, no no no, we have all the schemes.

Child marriage. Another thing was... There were muslim students. The married kids wear certain kind of jewellery. Its as if welded to their hand.

The kids get married by they are five-six. 

They determine the sex of the child and fix the marriage.

If you don't not believe in the caste system, you are animals.

Some of the stories I also know.

***

Some of us were thought of us child kidnappers.

What do the child kidnappers do?

The entire village stopped children from going to school.

By tomorrow you'll get a mail about the what we did and what we will do now.

Many of these things will get covered in the next two units. You are overwhelmed with lots of experiences.

Next week praticum will start.

Take a breath from the practicum thing. I will tell you about policies. Maybe Friday.

Tomorrow you will get a kind of recap.

4. In order to maintain health and hygiene, every school should have separate toilets for boys and girls, cleaning staff, dust bins , paper soaps.






Initial policy, 1968 policy resemblance ( 4th point )


There is no specificity in what we are promising to the citizens.


1968 Policy talks about should be ...


1986 Policy - Will Be

( plan of action, programme of action )


RTE 2009,

Enforced.


Any similarity between policy and plan of action?


Plan of action has steps to carry out the programme.

What are the things required to run a school?

Programmes are based on policies --> Practical implementation

What affects policy choices?

Policy Making - determining factors

Can one policy fit all?

Are you seeing anything in media related to schools?

Uttarakhand Floods, Cloudbursts.... Schools remains empty for weeks, month... Students may loose their homes, stationery....

How will the child prepare for the exams?

Students may perform bad, and eventually they'll get labelled/branded as 'bad' students.

Initiatives taken by State government

During snowfall in Uttarakhand, they, the teachers and the students, move towards the valley to conduct the classes.

Who takes these decisions?

BEO  ---> District ---> State

Children of the disaster,

Teach For Austria, Satyam Mishra

Wealth

Network of NGOs. NGOs working together.

Hilly area people are very simple, they have strong bonds with each other.

Adversity brings people close.

Rediscovering the RTE...

16th of August, 2019

http://schoolreportcards.in/SRC-New/

What is a policy?

• Set of measures
• Statement of intent
• Method of intervention into a sector
• Objectives ( of the state )
• Rules & Regulations.
• Strategy or scheme for decision making
• Action

Eg.

NO DETENTION POLICY

• Why? What is the purpose of the policy?
• How is it stated?
• It is an action or proposed action?

Kids ended up staying in one grade for a really long time.

The elder kids would be teased.

What was accompanied with No Detention Policy?

Is it a stand alone thing?

No Detention is not stand alone. Its CCE. Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation. How is it different from exams?

Mm: Our exams were split into two terms exams. We would get tests and projects. Instead of marks we ...

The smaller tests were called formative assessments and the end of the term assessments were called summative assessments. Formative is continuous. It could be group work, throughout the year it will be conducted. Marks and grades have a similar connotation. We identify some problem to resolve it. Tentative statement - policy. Problem - people were failing, detention was a problem.

Policy is not an action. It leads to action.

Identify an issue.

Recommend some solution.

Identify one problem and formulate a policy statement.

• One policy - Education
• Why is this policy needed?
• Who will implement it?
• How can your group think of implementing it?

Problem: Toilet problem

In order to maintain health and hygiene, every school have:

Separate

POLICY:

Who speaks?

Who listening?

Who tries to influence?

How did you identify the issue? From data.

Who speaks?

The government. Who is the government? The elected representatives. There are different levels like panchayat.

All education policies are coming from somewhere. Who are formulating the policies?

Who are the experts? Ministers, bureaucrats, researchers, think tanks....

Agitate doesn't make sense if we don't do anything.

Who frames the policies?

MHRD: Ministry of Human Resource Development

MHRD frames the educational policies.

Education is in the concurrent list. => Therefore, whatever centre decides, the state customises it according to the state.

After state level, there are administrative divisions.

STRUCTURE IN EDUCATION:

State, district, block, cluster, village, school.

RTE Policy of Karnataka

To be discussed on Monday (19th August, 2019)

Programme is action based. Programme comes from a policy.

Policy : to provide nutrition to the children.

Programme: to provide mid-day meal to the students.

Meal Scheme: Seera Bhagayam

States can decide the tweaks as per their context and needs.

Programme / Scheme might be time bound. Say 3-4 years.

In Karnataka, there was a sewing machine distribution scheme.

PB: Can a state totally change the education policy?

Act and policy are different.

Policy is a wish list, an act can be demanded in a court.

Who speaks? People in the political arena.

Three horizontal pillars

	Political	Administration	Academic
Centre	Central Govt (MHRD)	Civil Services MHRD	NCERT, NCTE
State	State Ministry of Education	Directorate of Public Instruction ( DPI ) State Civil Serives	SCERT SIEMAT ( State Institute of Educational Management and Training )
District	Zilla Parishad / District	DEO ( District Education Officer ) DM ( District Magistrate ) SSA	DSERT DIET
Block	Panchayat Samiti	BEO School Inspectorate	BRC CRC
Cluster
Village	Village Panchyat	Head Teacer, VEC, SMC	Teachers and Head Teachers

CABE: Central Advisory Board of Education

SSA is not a policy, its a programme, which is implement all over the India.

1968	1986	1991-92	2001-02	2009
NPE	NPE	POA ( DPEP )	SSA	RTE Act

How many education policies are there in India ?

Twenty eight.

One may go for justice if an act is not implemented.

***

Who are the people who are making the decisions?

Cluster is a group of schools and may cut across different villages.

Often, we tend to jump into action.

In Parliament, you can see the debates.

On Monday, you can be in your Practicum group.

And start your Practicum group!

Trends in School Systems

• What do we do know?

Why is it sad?

They will face problem. We will face problem. The economy as a whole may suffer. How will it cause problem?

If these people are not included in the school system, will it make a difference?

We don't want to see them. The stability of society.

Who enocourages these anti-social activities?

Ra: Thirty students were studying, only I passed the tenth grade.

If your parents stop financing you

My cousin brother dropped out after third grade. His parents would go for work and they were not aware. My elder brother also dropped out because of the pressure of studies.

My friend dropped out because of economic problems.

I've seen students dropping out after eighth standard.

We shared stories of drop out.

Why am I studying?

People are dropping out after eighth grade. Thousands of dropouts.

You can't imagine going to the school beyond eighth in some cases.

Getting isolated...

Did you enjoy the classes?

Why should I learn about Akbar?

It depends on how the teacher is talking about it.

Kru: We are not told about the purpose of school.  You don't get proper understanding.

Franc is Bacon.

Specific coursework to do. I will introduce you to RTE, Right to Education. Is it a scheme, policy, act?

Is an act and policy same?

Act can be legally enforced, policy cannot be.

For a policy, one cannot go to the court.

RTE, 2009.

States also had their own RTE Acts.

There are particular clauses in the RTE which shall be discussed. What is RTE talking about physical infrastructure of the school?

Go Through the RTE Act in Detail. Pick up one of the area and explore.

Why is RTE act not applicable on Epsilon school?

RTE Act: Has chapters, like infrastructure, teachers, SDMC, how community should participate, what is expected right now as general policy of India.

You have to go thorough Karnataka State's RTE.

Policy Document

Please make the teacher comfortable . Don't say I've come to observe. I've come to learn from you. We have come to learn from you!

During semester break, I go with the students.

Build Relationships.

Please go in the informal spaces. Don't say I am going to observe.

There are specific methods of observation. As of now, just have informal observations. If you take an interview, they will try to be politically correct. Just be informal and build a rapport. Take some time to get adjusted.

Keep the objectives in your mind.

How do we build perspective?

Once you come back from the field, you will talk more than me. You will give all examples from the field.
