Part IV Elementary Education in India : Analytical Report The percentage of such teachers in Sikkim was the lowest (0.31 percent). Their percentage was as high as 63.77 percent in Kerala, 51.57 percent in Uttarakhand, 53.81 in Tamil Nadu, 55.07 percent in Himachal Pradesh and 55.58 percent in Punjab, and as low as 8.25 percent in Arunachal Pradesh and 8.52 percent in Manipur. Delhi (26.62 percent), Chandigarh (15.00 percent), Puducherry (8.14 percent), etc., too have a very low percentage of teachers who were imparted in-service training during the previous year. About 44 percent teachers in the Primary schools, both male and female, received in-service training during the previous academic year. The percentage of such teachers has been much higher in rural areas (46.54 percent) than in urban areas (29.15 percent). Further, it has also been observed that a good number of Primary school teachers in government managed schools received inservice training (43.84 percent), compared to only 13.24 percent teachers in private managed schools. A few states, such as Andhra Pradesh (54 percent), Goa (68 percent), Table D19 Percentage of Teachers Received In-Service Training: 2007-08* School All Areas Rural Areas Urban Areas Category Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total Primary only 45.89 41.53 44.05 47.14 45.55 46.54 30.64 28.50 29.15 Primary with Upper 41.77 38.65 40.36 45.46 47.65 46.30 20.28 22.35 21.66 Primary Primary with Upper 14.39 15.21 14.85 17.15 23.05 19.74 9.10 9.82 9.60 Primary & Secondary/ Hr.

More than 71 percent of teachers in Gujarat underwent in-service training, the highest amongst all the states” The highest percentage of teachers imparted inservice training is noticed in the case of teachers in Primary schools (total 44.05 percent; male 45.89 percent, and female 41.53 percent), followed by independent Elementary schools (total 40.36 percent; male 41.77 percent; and females 38.65 percent), Upper Primary schools (total 32.64 percent; male 32.71 percent; and female 32.50 percent), Upper Primary attached to Secondary and Higher Secondary schools (total 24.75 percent; male 23.59 percent; and female 26.64 percent) and integrated Higher Secondary schools (total 14.85 percent; male 14.39 percent; and female 15.21 percent) (Table D-19). Gujarat (72 percent), Himachal Pradesh (71 percent), Kerala (67 percent), Tamil Nadu (65 percent), Uttarakhand (51 percent) and West Bengal (69 percent), have had a much higher percentage of trained teachers (Primary) than the average of all districts (44.05 percent). On the other hand, the percentage of trained teachers in the states of Arunachal Pradesh (10 percent), Bihar (45 percent), Chhattisgarh (46 percent), Delhi (19 percent), Karnataka (39 percent), Maharashtra (21 percent), Meghalaya (24 percent), Nagaland (20 percent) and Uttar Pradesh (18 percent) has been low as the majority of Primary school teachers in these states were not provided in-service training during the pervious 176
Teacher-Related Indicators Part IV year. All the north-eastern states too have a lower percentage of teachers who were imparted in-service training than the all-India average of 44.05. para-teachers are not confined to Primary and Upper Primary schools but a good number of them have also been posted in other types of schools. Further, in as many Figure 4.10 Percentage Distribution of Teachers Received In-Service Training From the DISE database, it is possible to locate all such schools where teachers were imparted in-service training. Together with information on schools with availability of infrastructure, or independent students’ assessment in terminal grades can also be identified; all of which are factors that influence quality of education and examination results. While planning for in-service training in the following year, institutions like the SCERT may like to use the rich DISE database to identify training needs. Para-Teachers The comprehensive data on para-teachers is being collected through the DISE operations every year. It reveals that all the states (except Karnataka) have reported information on para-teachers though in a few states (Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Lakshadweep etc.) their number is negligible. It has also been observed that as 68,186 schools (5.45 percent of total schools) only para-teachers were working in 2007-08 against 70,338 (5.88 percent) in 2006-07. The number of such schools in Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Assam, has been as high as 13,097, 16,408 and 12,436 schools, respectively, their corresponding percentages being 12.68, 39.12 and 18.64 of the total schools in these states. It may be recalled that the total number of such schools in Madhya Pradesh has come down to 898 in 2007-08 from 7,423 in 2006- 07 and from 37,285 schools reported in 2005-06 as the state has recently upgraded most of its EGS into formal Primary schools and teachers in such schools has shown under regular teachers category. Still it may possible that all these teachers in the state may not draw full salary of a regular teacher. In other states such schools are only a few but in states such as Arunachal Pradesh (2,086, 45.75 percent) and Jammu and Kashmir 3,716 (17.87 percent), in percentage term, it is quite high. 177
