(a):       The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is the vehicle to support States in implementing the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE)  Act,  2009.  Since  inception  of  SSA  in  2000-01,  opening  of  3.64  lakh  new  elementary schools, construction of 3.12 lakh school buildings and 18.87 lakh additional classrooms, 2.42 lakh drinking water facilities, 3.94 lakh boys toilets, 5.17 lakh separate girls' toilets, 1.40 lakh toilets for Children with Special Needs (CWSN) have been sanctioned to States and UTs. Out of this, 3.59 lakh elementary schools have been opened, 2.94 lakh school buildings and 17.97 lakh additional classrooms, 2.35 lakh drinking water facilities and 9.95 lakh school toilets have been constructed. The RTE Act, 2009 in its Schedule lays down the norm of Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) for primary and upper primary schools at 30:1 and 35:1 respectively. As per the Unified District Information System For Education (UDISE) 2015-16, the PTR at national level for primary schools is 23:1 and upper primary schools is 17:1, which is better than the norm laid down in the RTE Act, 2009.

Integrated Scheme on School Education by subsuming the three Centrally Sponsored Schemes of SSA, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE). States have already been advised to integrate the administrative structures at various levels created for SSA and RMSA in the States and UTs to achieve productive synergies, better co-ordination and enhanced focus on improvement in quality of education.
