peace and stability within and among
countries, and an indispensable means for
effective participation in the economy of the
*1
st
'entury, which is witnessing rapid
globali9ation. 7hile traditionally
E"ducationF has meant children in schools, it
is e!ually important to address the learning
needs of adults.
"ducation is a fundamental right, which leads
for the road map to achieve the goal of
E"ducation for &llF. /ver the years concerted
efforts have been put in at state and national
level to achieve this goal. &s per &rticle 10
of the constitution of India 5niversalisation

4everal innovative strategies and
interventions are being made to improve
access to primary schools, which has resulted
in, increased enrolment. (he strategies
adopted for universalisation of elementary
education involves strengthening of the
e<isting schools, opening new primary
schools, establishment of alternative schools
and other type of educational facilities in

interventions and several other programmes
enrolment has significantly increased in all
stages.
(here was an enrolment of 1,..0- lakhs in
the state as on ,+2+-2*++8 in all types of
schools in the state, out of which 0..8. lakhs
were in %rimary schools and *1.-* lakhs and

DropoutsJ
&gainst the enrolment of school age group
children into the schools, the problem of
retention is observed at various levels. =ue to
various programmes implemented, the
percentage of dropout is coming down over
the years 2 the dropouts being 10..0D at

Tea"-ers:
(eacher is the most important human
resource factor in the school education
system, who acts as a facilitator for learning.
(eacher is instrumental in developing
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values
among children at any stage of education. &s
such, teachers should be in position in
schools as per the optimum teacher2pupil
ratio to achieve the goal of universal
enrolment, retention and achievement of
children.
Beeping this in view, sustained efforts are
being made by government ever since
formation of &ndhra %radesh to provide
teachers in all types of schools to maintain a
reasonable teacher2pupil ratio.
Cationali9ation of teachers, deployment of
teachers, creation of new posts and massive
recruitment of teachers helped in overcoming
imbalances in the demand and supply of
teachers. =uring *++82+-, there were
1,1-,110 teachers in position in the state in

AI8@&I=4 has been a constant threat to the
country and in particular to the 4tate, as
&ndhra %radesh is one of the si< high &I=4

importantly awareness not resulting in
