Abstract
In order to provide an equitable
quality of education to all children in the age group 6-14 years, the
Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 has been implemented on
1st April 2010.
The implementation of the RTE, undoubtedly, brings in a quantitative
improvement in the infrastructural facilities and
human resources in the elementary schools.
Though, the degree of this improvement varies among states/ UTs. Therefore, it
is imperative to draw the school improvement trajectories of each state/ UT,
since the implementation of the RTE in 2010-2011 to 2014-15. It is further
aimed to understand the pace of improvement and present status of the schools
as per the RTE norms. For this purpose, the ‘Right to Education Development
Index’ (RTEDI) has been computed for the years 2010-11 and 2014-15. It used
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the secondary data fetched from ‘District
Information System on Education’ (DISE). It concludes that there is a
significant improvement in mean RTEDI over the period of half years.
Furthermore, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi are at the top three positions and
Meghalaya is at the bottom since the implementation of the RTE till 2014-15. A
total 12 states/ UTs have improved, seven states have maintained and 14 states
dropped their respective RTEDI ranking in 2014-15 as compared to 2010-11.
Furthermore, RTEDI was analyzed in the light of National Achievement Survey
(NAS) results and it was found that RTE Development Index do not have
significant relationship with learning of the student and do not reflects upon the students’
achievement.
