District Level Seminar on Best practices for
Quality Education at Elementary Level
About The Seminar:-
                     Education being one of the most important factors responsible for all round development of the students. Quality is the core of education. Quality in education is the achievement of desired levels of competencies among the students. It is related with the learner and learning process aiming at empowering the individuals with internal and external knowledge.  It determines what students learn, how well they learn and what benefits they draw from their education. It is difficult to define the quality of education operationally due to its complex nature; it is believed that it may be viewed in terms of the quality of various components of input, process and out-put dimensions. Some of these components may be: Need-based curriculum and text-books, appropriate infrastructural and instructional facilities, use of modern approaches to teaching, Academic achievement of students, Assessment practices and professional preparation of teachers etc. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA),has been implementing many educational programmes to universalize quality elementary education. The National Curriculum Framework (NCF-2005) has strongly articulated the need for a substantial improvement in quality of education. The Right to Education act (RTE-2009) states that curriculum methods text books and assessment procedures should be designed so that quality of education is ensured to   every child in the age group of 6-14 years. This seminar is intended to bring together Teachers, Teacher Educators, Researchers, and Administrators to share their experiences and discuss on innovative and best practices for quality education at elementary level. The present seminar is an attempt in that direction and it will provide a good platform to review/share the best practices which are being implemented in elementary schools of Visakhapatnam district to enhance quality education at elementary level to all children.
