International Journal of Contemporary Business Studies Vol: 3, No: 11. November, 2012 ISSN 2156-7506 Available online at http://www.akpinsight.webs.com The Directorate of School Education deals with School Education catering to the educational needs of children. The pattern of School Education in Andhra Pradesh is 5+2+3 i.e., 5 years of Primary Education, 2 years of Upper Primary Education and 3 years of Secondary Education. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh intends to achieve the goal of universalisation of elementary education by recognizing education as a potential instrument for Human Development. The primary goal of the state is to increase steadily the overall literacy levels. Provision of schooling facilities within a distance of 1 km. of all rural habitations is a pre-requisite for achieving universal access. For this, Primary Schools are started in almost all places within a distance of 1 km. Teacher-Pupil Ratio A major element of the approach to strengthening education will be to improve current learning levels by lowering the teacher pupil ratio. Government has already committed to fill-up all the existing teacher vacancies and sanctioning the additional posts necessary to achieve teacher-pupil ratio of 1:40. The Teacher Pupil Ratios for Primary, Upper Primary and High Schools are shown in Table- 4. Dropout Rates TABLE - 4 TEACHER PUPIL RATIOS Year Primary Upper Primary High School 2000-01 45 38 34 2001-02 41 39 34 2002-03 37 33 29 2003-04 35 31 31 2004-05 29 25 30 2005-06 28 25 30 2006-07 29 24 29 2007-08 28 23 28 2008-09 27 22 29 2009-10 28 23 28 Source: School Education Department Dropout rate is defined as a percentage of the number of children to total enrolment dropping out of the educational system in a particular year. The ratio does not take into account repeaters and children who enter the system after class-I. It is expected that every child who enters class-1 completes class-VII without discontinuing the school in between. With this view, efforts are being made to tackle the problem of dropouts with the support of School Management Committees. The Dropout Rate during 2011-12 in Primary Stage (Classes I-V) is 15.60, in Upper Primary Stage (Classes I-VII) is 20.79 and in Secondary Schools is 45.71. Details of Dropout rates are shown in Table-5. Copyright © 2012. Academy of Knowledge Process 11
