State Government Committee to prepare Manual for School Accreditation

State Government Committee to prepare Manual for School Accreditation 

IF everything goes well. soon. one may expect the State Government to have a State Assessment and Accreditation Council (SAAC). an accreditation body for schools in Maharashtra. To pave way for forming    the    SAAC School Education and Snorts Department has appointed a committee comprising experts from the field of education and administrative officers.
During stale-wide inspection of schools on various parameters including number of students on roll, aid given, aid utilised, quality of education being imparted to students, teachers' presence, attendance of students, etc was conducted. After compiling the results of the inspection, the Government itself had come to a conclusion that many schools had shown 'bogus' students on roll to get Government aid. Quality of education also had occupied centre-stage of debate. Against this backdrop, the Government felt the need to have an accreditation and assessment mechanism for schools.
